I see a lot of things wrong with this piece. It's not a well written piece at all. If this writer was trying to debunk Jesus Christ, I could at least "respect" him if he had a better argument. He's got many, many facts wrong and some dates wrong. It will take me some time to collect my thoughts and some study today.

Luke 2:2 This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria. And everyone went to his won town to register.

I looked up several notes on this verse and they all seem to agree that Quirinius was possibly in office for two terms. First 6-4 BC and then 6-9 AD. This verse is referring to his first term. King Herod, or Herod the Great was king from 37-4 BC. 4 BC seems to be the year.

I see no discrepancy with this point he tried to make. I'll be back later.

Bookmarked and bumped for later in depth review.

One more thought, before I go. In addition to r9etb's excellent point in #48 (1 Peter 3:1-6) I have another recomendation. Since the lady's husband is a lawyer, and lawyers are TRAINED to be skeptical, I would recommend Frank Morrison's book. Morrison was a lawyer and a skeptic who set out to write a book disproving the resurrection, but ended up being converted and writing a totally different great book called Who Moved the Stone?

Cordially,

In addition to Josh McDowell's Evidence That Demands a Verdict, you may also want to look at Norman Geisler's When Skeptics/Critics/Cultists Ask (3 books).
