I got into a discussion with Dave Armstrong (look him up) about if you could depend on anything that Jesus is purported to have said in the Bible (orally passed down, illiteracy, and scribe mistakes/changes, etc). Seems to me that if the Gospels were deemed to meet the general standard of evidence, then it wouldn't just be apologists and theologians claiming such (folks with a vested interest). We would have historians from multiple cultures and religions using it as a reference. Any thoughts about this?
The reason I ask, DA basically referenced a bunch of websites from William Lane Craig and Co. I asked for a secular or third-party reference that stated the Gospels accurately referenced Jesus - at which point he banned me from commenting, claiming I'm a bigot against theologians (?).
