He Himself claims that He is the subject of all the OT messianic prophecies.
Can you show actual writings by him that say this? Or some first person contemporary sources that quote him saying this.Or do you just have tradition? Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

Just saying no would have been much easier

But you have nothing to show who was the author of John, or when it was written.
If it was a John, John who?Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

How very christian of you.
I can not understand the hate toward people that disagree with you. You must be very insecure in your beliefs and your self. You are worthy of pity, nothing more. Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

Not evidence. Just wild ass assertions and interpretations.

Christianity is unique in that God found us---we did not have to go seeking Him.
Hubris much?You do realize most religions would claim the same thing. Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

So lets see if I have this correct.
Calvinism is following some of the preaching of Calvin. HyperCalvinism is following all of the preaching of Calvin. Therefore Calvin was not following biblical teaching.

Paul met Jesus
On the road to Damascus?Doesn't really count since it was a supposed vision. Paul never met a physical person Jesus Christ that did the things imagined in the Gospels. Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

If Paul changed the story in each telling, then by virtue of the definition of inerrant, then it would not be inerrant.

Richard Carrier also addresses a lot of issues.

I am also a product of a Christian upbringing. Even had aspirations of being a priest.
I could have written that. My motivation to become a priest was mainly academic. I saw it as a way to spend a life of studying and learning. I couldn't drink the kool-aid and am now, I am not only an atheist but I am quite anti-religious too.I end up far removed from that. The evils in name of religion are too many to overlook.Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

Also, even if Mark wrote it, who is this Mark? We have no biographical, or historical evidence of who he was. Why should we trust writings of someone, who for all intents and purposes is anonymous?

You would think that god guy would be better at explaining things and writing things clearly. According to what you are saying, what is written is a real clusterfuck. Is English really that hard?
