I will just say that clearly citing (and preferably linking) sources is the commonly expected courtesy around here.

Mark is a falsely attributed author even according to Scholars, gMark is NOT credible and NO text of gMark has been dated by Paleography or C 14 to the 1st century. Do "most Scholars" claim there was an Historical Jesus??? If you do NOT accept that there was an Historical Jesus then you very well know that "Most Scholars" can be WRONG. Please, let us do history and do NOT repeat Chinese Whispers. We already KNOW that most Scholars--ALL Scholars---have NO credible corroborative source or dated texts for any Jesus story FALSELY attributed to Mark from the 1st century or before c 70 CE. Why do you appeal to FLAWED opinion instead of the written statements of antiquity??? Please, once you develop a theory based on ACTUAL written atatements and actual DATED texts from antiquity then you wont have to CONVENIENTLY appeal to authority. |

I do not hold the mythicist position dogmatically. I hold to it because, at the moment, it seems to explain widest swath of related evidence. More material fits into the MJ umbrella, it has greater explanatory power. Quote:

(Just as a parenthesis, if you think I was having a go at you, Grog, I'm sorry, but that was not my intention. It is a generic issue. Clear sources are good for the discussion.)

Ok, thanks. Just let me know when, or if, I forget, and I will remedy the problem. No need for you to spend time searching.

If you have NO data then it is better if you refrain from making statements that may not be credible. Quote:

Not even Apologetic source attest Galatians 1.19. Apologetic sources that used Galatians claimed Jesus was the Son of a Ghost. But, WHEN, WHEN was Galatians written??? Letters between Seneca and Paul that were supposed to place Paul in the 1st century has turned out to be forgeries. And Apologetic sources claimed Paul was ALIVE AFTER gLuke was written but was Killed under Nero. If you have NO interest in WHEN Paul wrote then you have NO interest in History. Quote:
Paul wrote NOTHING in the 1st century that is PRECISELY why the fiction called ACTS of the Apostles and the forgeries of the Seneca/Paul were composed. If the so-called Paul was executed under Nero why does Acts of the Apostles END as if the author wrote BEFORE Paul became a supposed Martyr??? There is NO evidence at all that Acts of the Apostles was written BEFORE the death of NERO. Texts dated by Paleography and C 14 show a BIG BLACK HOLE for Jesus, the disciples and Paul in the 1st century and before c 70 CE. |
