(8,170 posts)I have demonstrated textual and stylistic reasons why what I say is true and all you do is put your fingers in your ears shouting "la-la-la I cannot hear you"
As to having a vested interest please tell me what it is?
And again you are saying I am making assumptions. What are my assumptions? Itemise them and then demonstrate why they are assumptions. I seem to have read the Gospels far more extensively than yourself but you just whine that my facts are assumptions.
Here are facts:
1) No Gospel names its own author nor the authors of any of the other Gospels.
2) The earliest copies of Mark do not include the resurrection
3) There is no evidence within the Gospels that the authors met Jesus, indeed no evidence that the authors met the disciples.
There are the 3 foundational facts from my argument please refute them. If you refuse you will show yourself to be willfully blind.
