Re: Any pre-325 CE writings where Jesus' historicity was doubted?
No history offered here with reference to the gospel Jesus story. You have not offered history, not even by your own definition, as in this thread you have revealed that you have no evidence and you have also previously said that history is about evidence. Therefore, you are dealing in something ot...

Re: History trumps Theology
There is no evidence for any gospel Jesus theory or interpretation. No evidence... Zero. At this point, you would logically just become skeptical of the historicity of Jesus. Instead, you have picked up the arguments of these skeptics parasitically to suggest that a completely unevidenced theory ca...

Re: History trumps Theology
Contrary to the fallacy you employ to provide some kind of rhetorical justification for the introduction of your theory, without any evidence, most do not advocate for a descent into arbitrarily just picking something to believe.

Re: Ian Mills's "external evidence" that Luke preceded Marcion
If we accept also that canonical Luke knew and used Matthew, then that places all three synoptic gospels before c. 130 CE. It may be interesting to mention Papias also in this connection. Remarks about Papias generally place him in the reign of Trajan. Most of the references occur in a context that...

Re: History trumps Theology
If there's an intellectual graveyard, then there is also a history of it, and all theology is also part of history. Indeed, there is a history of theology.... A written history or archaeological finds deemed to relate to theological ideas and practice. Scott Atran does good work "In God's We T...
