I don't have my John's mixed up at all. John the Baptist came first. He pointed out who Jesus is and gave testimony and that testimony was recorded. You have a problem with how it was recorded and by whom. Get over it.

You don't have to believe it - free will ! I'm not here to sway you. I'm here to give my opinion based on, not just things I've read but experiences as well. Am I obligated to provide you links or to tell you of my experiences? Absolutely not.

The fourth book is the Gospel of John. This is the account of the beloved disciple, who was taught the mysteries of the kingdom and that is why it is so different compared to the first three. I've read that most scholars think it is the least important of the four but they are wrong. If you would spend just half the amount of time looking into why this could be so, instead of trying to disprove Jesus historically - you would be at least opening your mind instead of closing doors.

There are literally thousands of NDE's on line free for you to read at your leisure. Many people have encountered Jesus in the light. And I'm of the opinion, that this was even predicted in the Book of Daniel, where people would travel to and fro and knowledge would be increased.

Since you singled me out, let me be very clear, that I could give a rat's ass what you believe and how you come to your conclusions, but if you want to know the real truth you need to seriously consider taking off that skeptics hat and take a new look at the Word of God. You drip with negativity, when God is nothing but goodness.

Wasn't Peter one of Jesus desciples, and he was contemporary (lived at the same time) as Paul/Saul. Paul lived at the same time as Peter and argued with him about whether the Gospel was intended for Jews alone or to include the Gentiles.

The debunkers never mention that connection, and what do they make of Paul's letters, and of his experience, and testimony..

There are the Gnostic Gospels, which contradict the ones in the NT.

There is also the documentary "The Lost Tomb of Jesus", which presents compelling evidence that his tomb was found.

Great information for the truly curious (If an evangelical atheist with a chip on his shoulder, it won't help.)

Stop trying to validate your own beliefs to yourself. This is a thread about historical figures who actually met a historical Jesus.
If you aren't one of them, and can't suggest anyone who is, then it's not really relevant for you to post your "enlightenment", is it?

I didn't insult you, I asked you to keep it relevant, which you are not doing.
What you believe about the subject isn't pertinant to whether it is a historical figure that actually met Jesus, I'm sorry, but that is the case.
