A fact not in dispute, but your original claim, Kevmo, was:
***Ok, let’s see if that fact is not in dispute.
Tacticalogic, do you accept that Jesus was condemned by the sanhedrin for blasphemy, for claiming equality with God?
My prediction is that TL will not answer the question.
TL is going to tell you to do the same thing with your ideologic purity tests that JimRob did.
Now, FRiend Kevmo, you're changing your original question again, which had the Sanhedrin putting Jesus to death for blasphemy.
I think we have established that the Jewish Sanhedrin did not put Jesus to death, the Roman prefect/procurator executed Jesus for the Roman-law crime of rebellion -- for claiming to be "The King of the Jews".
Yes, the Sanhedrin did execute Jesus' disciple Stephen for blasphemy, using the accepted Jewish punishment of stoning.
But you all will be delighted to learn that I've made a very small investment in the Kindle version of Bill O'Reilly's book on this subject -- mainly so that I could compare O'Reilly's historicity to that of a more "neutral" historian like, say, John Dominic Crossan.
Preliminary report after 25% read: O'Reilly is taking biblical sources at much more "face value" and dramatizing them more -- as if they weren't already dramatic enough -- than more scholarly historians like Crossan would ever accept.
But it is a good read.
So far, O'Reilly hits all the high points, and it will be interesting to learn where he comes down on Kevmo's question of "blasphemy versus rebellion".
