(18,998 posts)But you want to use his word and not those of the witnesses. What sense does that make?
The four witnesses tell you what they heard him say, but that is not good enough, you want a tape of him saying it or you call it bullshit...but with Paul who never heard a word of it says something you can hang your theory on you want accepted as fact.
But even so, you will only use some of Paul's statements...the ones that fit your theory...and dismiss all the rest as irrelevant.
This is so typical...and seen it over and over in these kinds of discussion.
But the challenge still stands, give me a quote of what Jesus was reported to say that fits your theory and we will discuss it. But don't accuse me of cherry picking when I insist on the actual quotes of Jesus to discuss what Jesus said and believed.
