“I don’t see anything special about 100 AD to warrant basing your entire position on it.”
1. A generation is less than 100 years, so logically, if an Apostolic Tradition was not passed on to the next generation, it wasn’t a tradition. If you prefer 90 years, 100 years, 120 years, go ahead. The burden of your truth claim is on you to substantiate.
2. My entire position is NOT based on your failure to demonstrate anything from 100 AD or before. That is just one of 12 categories I listed to demonstrate you have nothing.
3. I will point out you have provided ZERO evidence - from anywhere - in all the categories I listed. Nothing but empty air. Please provide anything, which you failed to do so far in more than 600 posts on this thread.
This brings me to your very humorous statement...
“Absence of evidence!= evidence of absence.”
Ironic that you actually wrote that! So we agree. You’ve got nothing to back up the truth claim of the article. Zero. Why is that? Why do you have a major belief that you can’t demonstrate is a Christian belief? Even more telling, why do you cling to a non-Christian belief and not care that it has no foundation in Christianity??
Where’s the beef???
I said there is evidence, from the 3rd and 4th century.
