Not arguing faith here. We're arguing history (at least that's what I took the original question to mean).

true. but I wasn't coming from that angle. you can have all the faith in the world in Jesus. But the question is a historical one. that's the only point I was trying to make. and some of the "history" in the Bible has been widely debated.

sounds interesting.

Truthfully, I applaud you. You are more well versed than most. I didn't read all of your responses. But in the ones I had, it seemed the Bible verses were more prominent than the historical proofs. That's what prompted me to post what I did. Sorry if it seemed I jumped the gun.
