Re: How mythicists are perceived by students and academics

^A "deep love and obsession with the Bible" is not the same as being a "fundamentalist" towards a historical reading. Bob Price I'm sure would also say he has a "deep love and obsession with the Bible, with interest relating to the NT and Christian Origins" etc. One on...

Re: How mythicists are perceived by students and academics

Gullota is simply a fundie who takes anything in the Gospels, as well, Gospel. ... Hey, if the Bible says it, Gullotta believes it, and doesn't question it. According to his biography, he's an agnostic-atheist. So I can't see how these statements of yours can be correct. I really detest this line o...

Re: How mythicists are perceived by students and academics

DANIEL N. GULLOTTA To say this is a fringe theory is a bit of an understatement. No scholar employed by a major university holds this view ... If scholars engage with the Christ Myth theory, it might only serve to give credence to an otherwise fringe view ... I have even considered taking on the is...

Re: Acts as fiction by Richard Carrier

So John T ducks the question of why Paul does not mention any miracles of Jesus, while insisting that if an author does not mention something it is ONLY because it has not happened yet.

Re: Acts as fiction by Richard Carrier

John T continues to duck the question of why Paul never mentions any miracles of Jesus, or why Luke never mentions Lazarus being raised from the dead. Why does Luke never write that Jesus had a brother called James? Allegedly, the killing of the brother of James should have been written about by Luk...

Re: Acts as fiction by Richard Carrier

Answer: Perhaps for the simple reason Luke/Acts was written before their deaths took place. You still haven't explained why Paul doesn't mention a single miracle of Jesus. Or why Luke never states that Jesus had a brother called James. How can Luke write that the brother of Jesus, called James, was...

Re: Acts as fiction by Richard Carrier

" Luke copies Mark. Mark is post-70. Luke also uses Josephus' *Antiquities* which puts him in the 90's. The author did not know Paul and does not even know his letters. Luke did not know any witnesses or interview any witnesses. This is pretty much all settled scholarship." ...Diogenes th...

AVERY
(If any skeptic is capable of that dialog, without relying on theories of NT error as a presupposition.)

CARR
Well, we can pretty much presuppose that any book has errors in it. That is not controversial except among people who claim that some books are special.
