Give this "solid" evidence you claim exists.

I'll take Nehemiah Gordon's evidence, a notably skilled and certified Hebrew Bible scholar, well respected in his field, over a boatbum's baseless claims of no evidence and refusal to even review any of the evidence presented (including written) every day of the week and twice on Sun Day!

Here is a bit more evidence, not that it will matter one iota to you, but in the chance that someone else may find it educational...

The Language of Judaea and Galilee

Is Nehemiah Gordon a believer in Yeshua/Jesus (or however you want to say His blessed name)? Those who are anti-Christ are not to be trusted when it comes to teaching what scripture clearly says about the deity of Jesus Christ. And my "claims" are not baseless but backed up by Biblical scholars that DO follow Jesus Christ.

As for the languages of Judea and Galilee, let me ask you this...WHY was the Old Testament translated into Greek (the Septuagint) two hundred years BEFORE Christianity came into existence? DO you know that the Greeks ruled the known world before the Romans? Can you understand, perhaps, why Greek was the common language of the people of Judea and Galilee as well as the other regions of that part of the world?

You mean this Nehemiah Gordon? The guy who is such a Hebrew Bible scholar that he still doesn’t see who the Messiah is?

Here’s a couple of excerpts from an email from Nehemiah Gordon.

“I have not converted to Christianity nor do I attempt to convince anyone to change their faith. I suppose the reason for these false speculations is that some people have a hard time understanding why a Jew who does not believe in Jesus would write a book on his teachings unless he has a secret agenda.”

“Let me start with my views on Jesus of Nazareth, or as he was known 2000 years ago, "Yeshua". Over the past few years I have gained a great respect for his teachings, but I have not embraced the Christian faith nor have I become a "Messianic Jew." I clearly state this in all of my presentations in order to avoid any possible confusion. I am, as I have been for over twenty years, a Karaite Jew, which means I believe the Tanakh ("Old Testament") to be the perfect word of God. As a Karaite Jew, I await the coming of an anointed King (in Hebrew: "Messiah") who will be a direct descendant of King David. I have no idea what his name will be and therefore I do not rule out the possibility that his name will be "Yeshua". Many Jews, and Karaites in particular, may vehemently disagree with me on this last point. All I can say is that when the anointed descendant of David reigns as a flesh and blood king over Israel, as promised in the Scriptures, we will all know his name as an accomplished fact.”

The full email can be found here

He can’t be much of a scholar if he doesn’t even understand the words of God about who the Messiah is.

Nehemiah Gordor Karaite Jew

I'll mention what has been mentioned before. Why would you use as an authority for NT scriptures a man who does not believe Yeshua is Messiah?
