Kosta said that no eyewitnesses were named.
You have not named any, especially any individuals apart from the heart of Christianity. Where is the equivalent of Cato? Why has is there nothing from Claudius, who wrote extensively before being thrust into the Emperors seat? Where even, are the anti Christian Jewish writings, along with their authors? Like I said, it was just a start. :o)
I am curious though, why would you defend someone who fosters doubts about what your very own faith teaches (tradition?)? Is it because it is against a known "non-Catholic"? I am disappointed.

Fosters doubt? I do not find that Kosta fosters doubt. He has helped me in ways and depths that I cannot thank him enough for. I do not see that he fosters doubt against the Church; I think that he is undergoing a crisis of faith that so many of the OT prophets experienced and wrote about.
My opinion is that we continuing believers need to reach out and show him that he is still accepted and a vital member of our community. We know and have known of many who have that crisis of faith; it is not just Biblical; it is real. You might jettison Kosta? I consider him more Christian than most of the so called Christian posters on FR.
Try rereading the OT prophets including Psalms and find out how many of them experienced abandonment and wrote agonizing verses of Scripture.

bb to mark: I am curious though, why would you defend someone who fosters doubts about what your very own faith teaches (tradition?)? Is it because it is against a known "non-Catholic"? I am disappointed. He is not defending me. Mark is simply stating the fact. Are you suggesting he shouldfor the sake of Christain solidarityknowingly promote untruth?
