Isn't that the same person for whom you've expressed great admiration for his knowledge? In fact, have you not claimed to fall back on his historical expertise?

Knowledge and belief are two separate things. Kosta knows more about the Greek NT and the development of the NT and the early Church than I. What does that have to do with the current state of his religious beliefs? I've been taught process control theory by a Marxist. Does that lessen the legitimacy of his facts?

Kosta knows more about the Greek NT and the development of the NT and the early Church than I.

Kosta has gone on record stating that the NT was written to make it appear that OT prophecy was being fulfilled. (post 4,440)

Is that really the kind of expertise you defer to? Someone who states that the NT was written as a deception and isn't even sure God exists?

I've been taught process control theory by a Marxist. Does that lessen the legitimacy of his facts?

Apples and oranges there. Political ideology is not technology. Kosta could very well be extremely qualified to teach in some unrelated to theology discipline, but someone who admits that he doesn't even know if God exists, is singularly unqualified to speak on the topic of God or belief in God.
