Argumentative today?
Well it does get tiring being asked the same stupid question over and over again by someone who doesn't understand the difference between the story (which we have for certain) and the 'actual' events behind the story (which may or may not have ever taken place).
Perhaps a question for you, the originator of this thread is which audience are you trying to speak with? Christians or secular...or both?
Anyone who can read the text, be honest about what they say, and is willing to discuss the text as we have it rather than some made up fantasy related to how 'accurate' the texts might depict historical events.
It also wouldn't hurt if that 'audience' had a little understanding of the textual research done over the last hundred years or so regarding the NT gospels.
Love your enemies!
