Matthew was an eye-witness to Jesus's life and Mark wasn't. And the suggestion is that the best that Matthew could do for his gospel was to copy most of Mark's rather than write about what he had seen himself. Doesn't make sense.

Please provide evidence of these claims, how do you "know"? About the only thing we know for sure is that half of the books claimed to be written by Paul are forgeries. No-one thinks that Matthew wrote the gospel of Matthew - that was a random suggestion by church fathers hundreds of years...

As I mentioned earlier - if the creation story is fictional, Adam is fictional, and (according to Luke) Jesus can trace is lineage to Adam, so Jesus is also fictional.

One thing that can be said with a high degree of confidence is that if Jesus did exist, many of the bible stories about him are fake news.

You’re right. Paul said it, Luke reported what he said.

Would have been useful at Wembley!

It’s all a bit of a mystery. The Sanhedrin (who unanimously voted for Jesus to be put to death Mark 14:55), were responsible for providing tombs for criminals who were crucified. Paul confirms this in Acts 13:29. Joseph of Arimathea (the nice guy who provided a grave for Jesus) was a member of...

Remove my entry from your table. Thank you.

Outside of the bible, there is more evidence that Joseph Smith met the Angel Moroni than there is evidence of the crucifixion. And the evidence for Moroni is contemporary from people who were there, not people writing many decades later from heresay. So, are you a Mormon?

As you say, many countries have Holocaust denial laws. Why did he pick on Austria?

You made a racist accusation about Austrians. Please cut it out.

The bible supports his assertion.

My aunt believed she was the queen. I believe that she believed that she was the queen. That doesn’t mean she was the queen.

Please cut out the racism.

It’s not abuse, it’s an accurate description of your inaccurate response to him.

If you had read the bible you would know that no one has gone to heaven. The dead are all rotting in their graves - until Jesus returns, which he hasn’t done. So what Triggaaar said is 100% correct, and your response is dumb.

Stop telling me what I think and pretending that I support your beliefs. You don’t know what I think, and your yes/no poll is an insult to people who do serious historical research. To clarify, god doesn’t exist and Jesus wasn’t god.

You are a vicar and I claim my £5.

Lots of waffle, but no evidence.

Thanks for your response - much appreciated. I am intrigued by the fact that billions of people believe in god, in the absence of any evidence other than a holy book that even believers admits is full of myths and fiction. Is the bible the word of god, or is it the collected myths of Iron...
