38. You imply that NT writings are what, worthless? authorless? Because they're not written

during Jesus' lifetime? That's not how historical documents and ancient texts come to exist.

I don't know where you get your scholarship, either. We can produce our biblical scholars and works, or continue contentions. Not really helpful.

And your "blatantly false" post that precipitated my long response started a derail here on a Ted Lieu thread that more appropriately belongs in one of the religion threads.

I'll show up there in the future, and if you're there and you'd like to take this up there, fine.

For now, I'm not pursuing your claims and continuing this derail.
