Is this the other Jesus?
Several months ago there were some news items about an Italian sueing the Catholic Church for preaching that Jesus actually existed. Doing some googling, I came up with this:
"Luigi Cascioli is suing the Catholic Church. He says he wants them to show proof that Jesus Christ actually existed.
He says there was, in fact, no Jesus, but a military man named John of Gamala who lived in the time of Christ. And, he claims, it was the gospel writers who turned that mere mortal into the character of Jesus, a figure powerful enough on which to base an entire religion."
Does anyone know what happened to this affair? Was it treated seriously? Any support for this 'John of Gamala' being part of the NT?
I know I'm getting off topic, but the current topic of this thread seems to have died and gone to heaven and I didn't think the issue deserved a new thread.
