If you don't know why the "man" wasn't there, then you don't understand the trap! Hint: Consider what the Jews would have said if Jesus had asked "but where is the other who committed this crime?"
Most of the bible wasn't written untill several generations after the death of Jesus.
Claiming the gospels were written by the apostles is actualy rather humorous.
I forget the term the catholic church uses for this practice (knowingly falsly attributing writings to the long dead). But the fact they actualy have a term is rather telling... yeah they admit it. So there is no real arguement here. The stuff wasn't written by people who actualy knew jesus. End of story.
hehe That's what I'm shooting for. I am trying to lay a bunch on the table as I see it. If it looks appetizing, grab it. If not, I'll give you your $ back. :)
I'm really not a meanie. :) I only bite if someone just tries to attack my intelligence or slings mud and comes in with an attitude making assertions w/o evidence. I can be wrong but I try REALLY hard not to be. But these are debatable to some degree. There will be future vids where I admit that I am not completely convinced and it remains a more open issue. For example, harder problems are "made of woman, made under law". Very obscure.
I know what you mean. When I watch a cdk or donexodus vid (or others like them) I tend to not comment because I feel that I'd have nothing really to contribute as I am not as schooled at that level of science. But sometimes I comment.

But they will claim it was passed down ORALLY (it wasn't). They are like brick layers. Just scrape in the mortar anywhere there's a crack.

@beefygoblin i think the term you might be looking for is pseudoepigraphical

I can never think of something to comment when I watch this series, so I'm making my quiet admiration audible.
Like the tone you maintain during these.

Yeah, I realize you're a friendly sort, and I'm usually not bashful about leaving comments.
It's probably because I tend more towards having a rough working knowledge of science issues, rather than analysis of historical texts.
