where are the moderators when this guy is calling me stupid?

I didnt call you stupid. Do you need another lesson in reading comprehension as well?

no-what is stupid is believing in a series of books written by a group of bishops, trying to describe jewish customs they knew nothing about.what is stupid is painting jsus on a cross, which wasn't used at the time he supposedly lived.furthermore, why are there no records outside of the n.t. that this man even lived?why do no roman or other authorities at the time record an earthquake, after which dead people walked about, bothering the living? read matthew 27: 51-54 for this vampire tale. why was there no jewish record of a custom of releasing a prisoner on passover? why did the writers of the gospels not know about matzoh or any other passover customs? why were there only thirteen witnesses to the resurrection?count it if you don't believe me. why don't any jewish records state that the temple veil was rent? such a bizaare event must have been written down somewhere. why was your savior weak on the "cross" and beg for the "cup" to be taken away? why didn't he say the "shema" which every jew says when he dies?why are there two different genealogies for jsus? what was the name of joseph's father?jacob?heli?shall we believe your precious matthew?or luke?
why did mary have to be purified after giving birth to "god"? why did jsus's parents have to go to the temple, following the law, after he was born? why did jsus fail to return while "this generation" was still alive?
your precious n.t. was written by the council, not by the disciples, and you know it!
i count 17 flaming strawmen in that. Congratulations GM, that must be a new world record.

Lets review shall we. You apparantly dont remeber this from last time. Ill try to keep this short and stick to the important dates so you can comprehend it all.
381 AD: Council of Constantinople
350 AD: About the time both Codex Sinaiticus (contains the entire NT) and Codex Vaticanus (contains most of the NT) date to.

EDIT: i should have made this a poll. Oh well

let's do the math:381-350=31 years.
so-ok the n.t dates from 300 years after jsus.
what straw men?
you don't know your facts.
quote a single non-xian source about the earthquake or the walking dead.one single source that says the city of jerusalem was invaded by vampires around 36c.e.
explain why the n.t. doesnt know about matzoh, or that the cross wasn't in use.explain anything. you obviously don't know anything more about judiasm than the writers of the n.t.

has no effect on the supposed writing of the NT by the council of constantinople.

so you resort to name calling when you don't have any answers.

GM, do you know how ancient documents are dated? not the manuscripts, but when the document was originally written.
