As it has often been said: “Tell a lie often enough and the people will believe it.” Many politicians appear to agree with this, and, in the minds of many, politics is closely associated with lying.
People tell lies for all kinds of reasons. But sincere Christian know “There is Someone up above who knows all and what you are doing.”

So the event...

There are many secular sources for this kind of information if you look hard enough. The ministry school I attend is certainly not the kind you know of. It is not one that anyone can attend and certainly not the clergy!
As for the gospels - go to the British Museum.

truthabounds - I have been an amateur student of the origins of the NT for decades so I am well familiar with the sources of information. And I have yet to find one scholar, Christian or secular, who would claim that the authors of the gospels were known at the time or are even known now.

Either your school has been misleading you in the most shocking way or you are just making it up as you go along.

And what, pray, would I find in the British Museum? If you're unwilling to deal in facts and evidence, there's no point in continuing this. Actually, I'm not sure that there's any point anyway: you are so appallingly misinformed that I simply don't have the time (or inclination) to re-educate you. Let's leave it at that, shall we?

Chakka:
I take exception to your comment. If you have not already done so, which i dont think you have by your previous comments, I would suggest you read the following:
An Introduction to the Books of the OT = W.O.E Oesterley
Our Bible and the ancient manuscripts = Sir Frederic Kenyon
The influence of the Septugint = Harry Kennedy
Examining Criticism of the Bible - Flemings
The Bible as History - Werner Keller

These are just a few of the reference books I have read and I am not an amateur student of the Bible. I probably studied the Bible far longer than you have. As to what you will find in the British Museum - articfacts and texts relating to archeology and history of the Bible.

And that's MY last word.

Truthabounds - since you are unwilling to debate properly off your own bat, rather than quoting sources, all I can say to the news of your last word is...thank goodness for that.

Chakka: I am willing to debate - you just don't seem to produce anything worth debating!!
