@fmf saidTotally disagree.
Christianity is the sum total of what Christian say and do and think even as they espouse the ideology laid out in the New Testament
Christianity is based on the New Testament - nothing more.
I understand why an atheist wants Christianity to be based on the actions and behavior of fallible men, but that’s not what it’s based on.

@fmf saidAnd now you’re bringing up 2018 and starting to whizz in the pool.
I said it to you several times when it came up in 2018. I put it "on record" 10-12 years ago and have said it repeatedly since.
You always do that when you’re losing an argument and starting to feel flustered and upset.
@pb1022 saidNo I can't explain the origins of life and consciousness. It is not necessary to have a correct answer to a question to discern one that is incorrect.
Ok, I guess you can explain how life came from non-life and mindlessness came from consciousness and how something came from nothing (assuming you don’t believe the universe is eternal.)
As far as the Gospels are concerned, I can just as easily produce sources that say they’re credible and trustworthy, but I’m not going down that rabbit hole. Let people who are interested do the research themselves.
If you can find a source which addresses the issues raised in the source I posted and still manages to sound credible in attributing the authorship of the Gospels to the named disciples, please post it.
