Such investigations are carried out universally in every part of the world. An inquiry into the time that YOU yourself wrote any book has no direct relationiship to the value of Religion. We have examined the NT Canon, Apologetic sources and have failed to find any credible corroborative evidence for Pauline letters before the end of the 1st century. The argument that the Pauline letters were NOT composed before the Fall of the Temple c 70 CE is extremely good and is FAR Superior to any argument for early Pauline letters. |

science means 'wisdom.' That's it. That's it's root meaning. There was a time where religion was wisdom. .

Julian's Against the Galileans Quote:
Were the Pauline character and letters fabricated?? 1600 years ago Julian the Emperor challenged everyone in the Roman Empire to produce corroboration for the existence of Jesus and Paul by well-known writers. 1600 years later, no-one in the ENTIRE world has been able to prove that Julian spoke falsely. Julian's Against the Galileans Quote:
2. They are part of the Monstrous Fable composed by wickedness. 3. They were NOT known by any well-known authors of antiquity who wrote about events during the time of Tiberius and Claudius. |

What?? Did a Scholar claim the Pauline Jesus was crucified in the Sub-lunar?? Did another claim Simon Magus=Paul??
How come Scholars can say such things?? If you are a Scholar why don't you accept that Scholars have claimed the Pauline letters were composed in the 2nd century?? You very well know that Scholars throughout the world are not expected to agree on all matters and even the dating of the Pauline letters. I don't accept Scholars opinion when they have NO corroborative evidence. Rejection of speculation from so-called Scholars is basic and fundamental in any investigation and is the norm universally. |

A butcher can't claim to be a nurse. There are distinctions that have to be made. Even if all scholars aren't perfect, your methodology and the methodology employed by others who post here don't even pretend to be objective or impartial. Scholars generally avoid writing sentences in block capital letters. They don't describe the thing they are studying as a 'turd' or Christians as 'morons' etc. (= Shesh). Just saying.
