As I said, their relationships were contemporaneous. They knew him. They traveled with him. They wrote their memories and accounts of him down on paper. Flavius Josephus wrote historical references about him.

None of that exists for Mohammed.

"As I said, their relationships were contemporaneous. They knew him. They traveled with him. They wrote their memories and accounts of him down on paper. Flavius Josephus wrote historical references about him."

All that is known about those relationships is what is written in the gospels and as noted, those accounts are not contemporaneous. And the apostles are not known to have written them.

It's not all that different from Mohammed.

"And don't drag wikipedia into a discussion of Jesus. Come on."

I'm not citing Wikipedia as an authority, I'm pointing to an article that simply explains the facts, which happen to be correct.
