Happy Camper...
Seems to me that you are correct and as usual, Starman is totally wrong.... Starman asks
"...500 eye witnesses?
Great. What are their names, and show us they written first hand accounts.
Asking their names.... asking to see their 'written first hand accounts.'
This guy is just plain ridiculous. GMAB .....Pay no attention to him or his ravings.
Watch how the seagulls respond to this:
" In Rome, in the year 93, Josephus published his lengthy history of the Jews. While discussing the period in which the Jews of Judaea were governed by the Roman procurator Pontius Pilate, Josephus included the following account:
About this time there lived Jesus, a wise man, if indeed one ought to call him a man. For he was one who performed surprising deeds and was a teacher of such people as accept the truth gladly. He won over many Jews and many of the Greeks. He was the Messiah. And when, upon the accusation of the principal men among us, Pilate had condemned him to a cross, those who had first come to love him did not cease. He appeared to them spending a third day restored to life, for the prophets of God had foretold these things and a thousand other marvels about him. And the tribe of the Christians, so called after him, has still to this day not disappeared."
- Jewish Antiquities, 18.3.3 §63
(Based on the translation of Louis H. Feldman, The Loeb Classical Library.)
They will go berserk and find all sorts of "references" to dispute the validity of this writing.... But, as you know there are other writings that refer to the historical Jesus.
But, as per normal, there are some that will deny any proof of Jesus' existence. They will happily ignore facts ... they have abandoned reason and cling to their much loved anti-Jesus rhetoric.
