So basically you concede that there is no direct, contemporaneous evidence for the existence of Jesus outside of the Bible. That was my point all along.
Only if you count Roman Records as part of the Bible.
"On the eve of the Passover Yeshu was hanged. For forty days before the execution took place,Have you seen this ?
a herald went forth and cried, "He is going forth to be stoned because he has practiced sorcery
and enticed Israel to apostasy. Any one who can say anything in his favor, let him come
forward and plead on his behalf."
But since nothing was brought forward in his favor he was hanged on the eve of the Passover!"Gal. 3:13, "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree."This quotation was taken from the reading in The Babylonian Talmud, transl. by I. Epstein (London: Soncino, 1935), vol. III, Sanhedrin 43a, p. 281 as cited in Habermas, Gary R., The Historical Jesus: Ancient Evidence for the Life of Christ, (Joplin, MO: College Press Publishing Company) 1996.Luke 22:1, "Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching. 2And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they might put Him to death; for they were afraid of the people."
