NO. WRONG.
There is no evidence of a first century practice of Christianity. The coin is evidence only of the first century TPQ. There is no connection to Christianity, whatsoever, point finale.

Writing "other than a date", suggests that the date of the coin conforms to the date when Christianity existed.

You need to pay attention a bit closer.


I did not make a claim it did tie. I only stated THEY made a claim using a date, and their tie a coin.

ARGUMENT FROM THE UNLIKELY

(1) ATM (a TM) has argued that Apologists have argued that it is unlikely that the anonymous author of the original Gospel would have falsely reported that women were the first witnesses not to see Jesus being crucified from a viewable distance in the dark, not being able to identify the corpus because it was wrapped in linen and showing up at the tomb a day later to witness nothing and witness that they saw nothing as part of a larger pericope with a primary point of the impossible:

Why the women as first witnesses?

(2) It is likely that women were the first witnesses to nothing here because it is unlikely.

(3) Therefore, Jesus existed.

ARGUMENT FROM LYING

(1) Bill O'Reilly is a liar.

(2) O'Reilly says in Killing Jesus that he was the Young Man reporting from the Tomb.

(4) There is no ARGUMENT FROM THE UNLIKELY post # 30414 here.

(5) Therefore, Jesus existed.

ARGUMENT FROM IF

(1) Bart Ehrman writes:

If we are looking for gist memories that appear to be true to historical reality among these materials, most scholars would agree with at least the following.

(2) Bart Ehrman later writes in the exact same article:

If these gist memories are accurate, we have a fair outline of information about the man Jesus himself during his public life, beginning with his baptism by John.

(3) Therefore, Jesus existed.

ARGUMENT FROM ABSURDITY

1. Dr. Carrier claimed, that Paul glorified a JESUS, because Philo of Alexandria identified (LLX-)Zechariah’s Anatole, who is JESUS OF JOSEDEK, with the Logos, the image of God, his firstborn and his eldest son.
2. The forum questioned that claim, especially that Zechariah’s Anatole is Jesus of Josedek und that Philo understood this.
3. Dr. Carrier: “It’s absurd to conclude that he meant someone else.”
4. ...
5. Therefore, Jesus existed.

Nietzsche once said that the best way to win an argument is make a bad argument for the other side ...
