I’m on your side, but ease up on the ad-hominems of a lesser brother. It is not what you say, but how you are saying it that may be at issue here.

Are there contemporary Roman records of Christ?
No.
That was the issue. That is the truth. There are no contemporary Roman records of Christ. None.
If someone is going to tell me it is arrogance to know and say the truth, then I don’t see why I should not point out the obvious arrogance or wounded pride of that statement. That is no more ad-hominem then what was said to me - in fact it is obviously less so. And I think calling a man a “lesser brother” may be more ad hominem than anything I said.
