Even if the author of a text claims something in the context of the narrative that doesn't make it true. Pointing to examples of characters in the NT saying they are eyewitnesses to events is not evidence that the text itself actually reflects eyewitness testimony. A little bit of study (you could even do it at a good seminary if you want to stay away from secular education) shows that the vast preponderance of the evidence indicates that none of the gospel texts, nor Acts, are written by eyewitnesses or people who knew eyewitnesses. All the authorial attributions come from Ante-nicene church fathers who are mostly speculating about their particular favored texts because they needed "apostolic authority" (kind of like an "Intel Inside" logo for Xian texts) to prove that their books were better than the dozens of other gospels being widely distributed at the time.
Hahahahaha!

ROTFLOL!

What was the point of that post? Can you please point out what was so funny, and why? You should really start making more meaningful contributions to discussions around here, it's getting pretty annoying.

And by the way, nothing CX stated in his (apparently very funny) post was something any moderate biblical scholar would disagree with.

Is this your idea of a response? Your OP made some claims about what the consensus of modern scholarship believes. They were false. CX's post correctly described what the consensus of modern scholarship does believe. Why is that funny? Are you disputing that CS's characterization is closer to what the consensus of modern scholarship believes than yours?

That's the best you can do? A pre-schooler could have made that response.

Like that reverend whats-his-name guy. But look on the bright side. It's just a few intermittent posts, unlike the thread where the other guy made hundreds of posts saying pretty much nothing.

Seen this thread? Is this about Richbee?. Maybe we should start cross-posting by nominating specific annoying individuals?

<----Jumps into the thread inappropriately late.


I just find it interesting that this is also a list of 10 things that christians cannot prove as true either.

So, this thread could as easily be called:

10 other things for which Christians have no compelling evidence.
