there's no evidence for That. the whole idea that the date of MS is the actual date of he writing is not taken seriously by any scholar. The automatically add 20 years to a MS just on the assumption of travel time and copy time. No one takes the second centruy dates seriously now. The trend is earlier dates.

unfortuantley the guy who complied this list is no longer with a website.I have no URL. I did have a link.

you are over correcting. that's the opposite extreme form those who date them in the second century.

So Metacrock produces a list of Christians who agree with him.

Remember, we must believe everything a Christian says, so all Metacrock has to do is name Christians and everything is settled. Who needs evidence when you can list the names of Christians?

Diogenes the Cynic wrote:
Mental flatliner wrote:Because the crucifixion ended between 3:00 and 6:00 on the eve of Passover
According to the Synoptics, the Passover had started the night before. They are crystal clear about it. Are they lying?

The Romans would not have cared about getting the body down, nor would they have cared about touching a dead body, and the Romans are the one who would have taken the bodies down if anybody did.

the problem with that kind of arguement is we don't know enough about Jesus family or heterodox Judaism. The Saduceeds did it on a different day fro the Pharisees:

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Hebrew_Roo ... er/History
(scroll down to "Pharisaical tradition")

We know the Heterodox groups such as the one at Qumran had a total different calnder from other two. WE don't know what calender Jesus used.

do you know what a liberal is? Hmmmm? probably not because you think I'm a fundie. You don't you? It's real easy for non thinkers to dismiss their opponents with little labels like that. That's what you are doing. you are not goign by the evidence you are going by weather or not I'm in agreement with your prejudices.

Look at that list you see many of them are liberals. Liberals tend to be dismissing of historical arguments for faith. So when you find liberals that support such arguments it's pretty good proof that arguemnt is a good one.

IF no evidence can ever count against one's position then on evidence can prove it either. If it does that's just proof that the evidence is written by a Christian. Chrsitains are evil and stupid they have to always be wrong.

If that's your game here I'm not interesting. I've had all the pissing contests I need need on carm.

What does the argument that Mark is subsumed into Matthew get us? I think it's a lame arguemnt (no offense). The particular reasoning is what matters, that tells us more than the assertions in the evidence. In other words that fact that Diatesseron in written late second century means nothing compared to the fact that readings in it are clearly very early and preserved with their Jewish flavor intact. That's a good source that proves the Gospel material was in circulation before our version of Mark existed.

It also makes sense if Q is really true. Then would have to be sources about the Gospel material circulating before Mark to have a whole saying source arleady to go that was used in addition to Mark.

Metacrock produced a list of books. He claims this is evidence.

It isn't. It is just a list of books written by Christians.

The fact that he cannot tell the difference between a book catalogue and evidence is not my fault.

first of all you reading skills are so bad you can't even see what you are reading. The list of books is a list of schoalrs who support early dates for the Gospel of Matthew. the dates are there. those are those number after the words. like 60,70. those are dates in the firs century.

Now is what we call "expert testimony." these guys are experts. that's how dating of New documents has always been done. the atheist who date them 200 years after the events are using their own list of scholars. The difference is their list if really much older so mine reflects the newer information and better methods.

Genesis 2-3 was discovered to have influenced a Sumerian tablet dating to 2100 BC (making Genesis older and at that time authoritative)
MFL can you document that for me?

Because the crucifixion ended between 3:00 and 6:00 on the eve of Passover and none of them would have wanted to touch a dead body (and be barred from the temple).

All four gospels are specific: the crucifixion took place on Nisan 14, and the garden near Golgotha was used simply because it was close. There was no time to dilly dally with anything more complex than:
--get the body down
--prep it
--carry it to the cave
--seal the cave
[/quote]

how do you know it was close when no one knows where the tomb is? how did the jews know that jesus' battered body would've been recognized by cowards who ran away? why do you christians want the jews to become sticklers for the rules when it comes to the funeral of your god, but when jesus breaks rules, you people find exceptions?
