You arrogantly suppose I need to be converted just because I ask something.
Believe me...or not...I simply answered very generally...to whomever it might suit...reading it...it is not my intention...to put you into a box...falsly presuming what you would need or not...for I don't know anything about you...I think you posted on the boards before...but really, I don't remember it...so I just answered to the best of my admitted limited ability...for what I hold to be the truth and I don't think you get in principle a very much better answer...why?...because you want proofs...how to know things of the past for sure...now pls. ask that the next history prof you come across about the absolute sureness of reported historic accounts....if we weren't there.Just imagine any ridiculous tabloid paper you know of...some find it in let's say it 2000 years...future-scientists read it...you think they believe all that is in there written??But how would they know for sure???
The historicity of Jesus is not questioned..by many seriously...details yes...e.g. the ones you asked....I had many questions, when I left TF and I made a big search myself...in books magazines...the net.What have you done so far, to solve this question for yourself??
I asked you also some questions...so far you answered none...that makes me a bit sad...because deeper exchange depends also on the willingness to comply a little bit with the wishes of the other...If you don't want to answer any of my questions...it's your freedom...but then I also get no clue...where you stand...e.g. why you hate religion...why???
and why you linked the above page...I read it and what's your personal take on it???
Wish you a wonderful weekend and more
