Can we get an unbiased source please?
Can you formulate an unbiased question?
Look, I cited the pagan, Tacitus. I could also have cited Josephus, the Jewish Historian.
To my biased way of thinking, it appears any historian who evinced credulity in historical events such as the Incarnation, Life, Miracles, Ministry, Passion, Crucifixion, and Resurrection of the GodMan Jesus would be gainsaid due to your a priori rejection of the Truth, The Way, and the Life..
In "The Fugitive," when U.S. Marshall Samuel Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones) was chasing Dr. Richard Kimble (Harrison Ford) and had him, apparently,trapped high above a spillway, Dr. Kimble tried to convince Sam he did not kill his wife. U.S. Marshall Sam, in his clipped stentorian voice, said
" I DON'T CARE."
Imagine me saying those words to you the next time you proffer an objection.
Have a nice day.
How about a Roman record of this? I would think that would be a little more credible record of what Governor actually told the Emporer. Also Pilate telling his boss what the rumour is doesnt necessarily mean that Pilate believed it nor that the Emporer bought into it. Frankly if I was Emporer and I found out one of my officials just killed God, I would be pretty upset.
