I know a guy who sometimes barks at the moon, which means nothing other than he is crazy. I am not calling these so-called "Biblical scholars" crazy, just wrong, or using the unverifiable as proof of their assertions. Their agenda I know not, but I do know they won't be the first to bring an agenda or their arguments to attempts at manufacturing doubt of Biblical authenticity...The largest amount of objective scholarship validates Biblical authenticity.
The question is the divinity of Christ, not the fact that Jesus existed. Many Jews saw Jesus, knew Jesus and reported on what they saw -- this is without question...These witnesses to Jesus existed at a time that high value was placed on accuracy and inaccuracy would simply be forgotten in the author's humiliation.
What is also without question is the world changed, shifted if you will, even changing the way we regard time, upon the death of Christ...Jesus was maybe just a blip on the prophet radar, but there is no doubt he had the most profound and lasting effect. No other prophet, to this day, evokes the amount of passionate reaction that Jesus does...This suggests to me that Jesus was much more than just an ordinary man, nay, he was indeed the Son of God.
