Get back to me when you learn what is meant by contemporaneous documentation.

James and Jude were His half-brothers. How much closer do you need to get to the Man?

What did James and Jude write mentioning Jesus? Oh, nothing. Thought so.

Yea, but almost every major church rejects their books.... So how can you consider them reliable when even most Christians don't?

This whole argument drives me nuts honestly...
I mean even Bart Ehrman says specifically YES Jesus did exist without a doubt...
Hes a prominent NT scholar who even quit Christianity... but he will not deny what is obvious to any historian
3: his only claim to fame is that he claims " not be be a Christian, but the bibles completely accurate"! (See #2 and suprise he gets a job at a bible college! :p)

Indeed. Any serious scholar admits Jesus was a historical person, in fact, a scholar would ruin his career claiming Jesus never existed. He might manage to sell a million books on Amazon and get rich, but claiming Jesus never existed is like claiming the Holocaust never happened. Utter fallacy. He would doubtfully be admitted to publish any of his research anywhere.
He is a hack employee by a presperterian seminary.
1:I seriously doubt he's not a Christian.
he is paid by a church as his full time job to teach history at Christian bible college.
3: his only claim to fame is that he claims " not be be a Christian, but the bibles completely accurate"! (See #2 and suprise he gets a job at a bible college! :p)
4. ROFL!!!
Ya'll keep bringing this guy up like he's Richard Dawkins or bill mahr!!! LMAO
Doubt all you want... He abandoned his faith because of his issue with "Suffering"
Probably because he is one of the best New testament scholars out there...

You have no idea who he is or what he has said about the bible do you?
In fact, it's clear that suffering comes from NOT following the commands of God.

LOL. You don't have kids do you? When you are "fruitful and multiply", that's when your suffering begins!
