You discredit me because you don't think I'm "spiritually mature enough", but have you heard of ANYONE who MIGHT be mature enough to suit your requirements?
Oh, I get it. You're convinced you're the very definition of "spiritual maturity", but it doesn't apparently occur to you that you spent the first 40 posts of this thread ignoring your own topic and instead trying to defend yourself against imagined slights.
They call that "pride", you know.
We
have seen the very spiritual mature; one of them posts here under the name "Truthlover." I'm sure I'm embarassing him but believe me when I tell you that a person at all concerned with spiritual truth, and not their own pride, would count themselves lucky if he chose to share his thoughts on this subject.
He understands that eyewitnesses sometimes remember different details even though they were standing right next to each other when they witnessed the event (I've experience this myself directly and indirectly).
Remember when you failed to establish that you had any eyewitness testimony whatsoever? That's still the case.
Lee Strobel understands how to investigate something and get the truth.
Oh? You might want to reference your own "liberal journalist reporting methods" in that regard; Strobel was a journalist for the Chicago Tribune.
Crash stated that these four writers "copied" off each other and "plagarized". If they copied, don't you think they would have been careful to not contradict each other on the details?
Why? It's not like they were writing scriptures; they were writing letters to early churches. They had no expectation these letters would be bound in a Bible.
I currently have in my library more books on apologetics... I'm trying to keep it at a layman's level... I'm debating on an entirely different level here...
Pride, pride, pride. I don't know why I thought I could learn anything from you; all you offer is the same recycled, discredited nonsense that passes for "apologetics" these days. I've read better from
C.S. Lewis, for christ's sake, and he's widely regarded as one of the worst apologeticists in the Christian faith. You know, except to the people who lack enough discernment to see through his rhetorical nonsense and informal fallacies.
