So, if I look at the same evidence you look at, and I don't reach the same conclusion from it that you reach, there must be something wrong with my understanding?

I guess that's possible.

All I'm saying is that you ought to look further into why you come to the conclusion that you do. It's not the mere disagreement, it's the why behind it. Grab some historical methodology books. Trace the life other literary figures. Do some real research other than focusing only on one insignificant figure. What constitutes valid evidence, what doesn't? Why do you exclude the gospels? After all this, I'd have to nod towards R. G. Price, since he, although in my opinion erroneously, attempts to deal with the literature as it is rather than simply dismiss it with a wave of the hand.

As much as a we like to hear how awesome we are, please return to a focus on the thread topic. We need help keeping our egos in check.

Thanks in advance,
