No. I was being facetious b/c you have tried to use similarities between 2 people a century apart in their lives as an analogy ...

false analogy is a fallacy.

As is 'poisoning-the-well'. How about putting a valid logical argument about the actual subject at hand - Paul and Jospehus

H1 That Josephus wrote some of the Pauline texts or Luke-Acts

H2 that Josephus wrote some fore-runners to what we now know as Luke-Acts or the pauline epistles (ie. he wrote some "proto-Paulines")

H3 That Josephean texts were used by later writers of Luke-Acts or the Pauline-texts; or by redacters of the Pauline texts or Luke-Acts

H4 ... chimps ...

H5 Kennedy

H6 Lincoln

H4 That Josephus and Luke derived their passages from a common Christian (or Jewish-Christian) source -
H5 Luke almost certainly knew and drew upon the works of Josephus - http://infidels.org/library/modern/rich ... ephus.html
