Did Jesus exist, Part II

I checked some at random. Found no historians in the bunch.The Jesus Seminar sit around and make guesses about what Jesus must really have said and not said. I guess we could do that with you too, not bother with what you think or anybody who knows you thinks, just give our best subjective impression of what JAR must think.Pathetic.

And I have just as much right to denounce them as misguided subjectivists I believe.

I just don't get this insistence on coming up with interpretations that contradict the traditional. Seems unnecessary and strained. But I see no lack whatever in the Biblical context for John's life to begin with. I see it as completely meaningful as written. There is/was no need for any other context.But this is post #300 for this thread and maybe that's enough said anyway.
