"No this was not your previous position. You knew I believed the gospel account as true, and were basing your argument upon what I had accepted. This you stated clearly."

And nothing has changed. I always knew you believed that the gospel account was true. That is how I knew it was the source of your personal portrayal of the Jews as being responsible for the death of Christ. Something you still resist admitting.

But I certainly never said that I believed it, and now you know both that I do not and whyI do not. I am not certain why that upsets you.

"Now in order to rationalize your world view as infallible (at least compared to a contemptible superstitious world view like mine...or the Jewish world view for that matter) you now have asserted a premise that we clearly did not agree to. And now you are angry and frustrated that anyone would dare disagree with this conspiracy theory of yours."

What are you on about?

Need I point out that I am not the one of us claiming access to infallibility. That is entirely the your franchise. And the words "contemptible superstition" has never before been a product of my keyboard.

Who did you say you were arguing with? Exactly?

From your post 44:

Whether you embrace it as true or not, you are the one that offered the portrayal of the Jews as "Christ Killers."

So then, I was implying your conspiracy theory while so doing?

Perhaps in the sense that St Paul went on this anti-sementic rant that needed future correction by more enlightened introspection (1 Corinthians 13, sorry for poor formating).

1If I speak in the tongues[a] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,[b] but have not love, I gain nothing. 4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. 13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
