who mentioned science? I believe I specifically said RELIGIOUS scholars and ALL scholars. And they were wrong.
Three centuries of scholars makes little difference if they all assume the bible is nothing but fact, as ive repeatedly stated to you we do not agree on.

We know that literary rates were abysmal even in the 5th century. Back in the first century in Judea we have examples of the village scribe (the only guy who was literate) only being able to spell is own name... and incorrectly at that. Reading and being able to write are also quite different. Even if someone could read a text (which we know Jesus could) it makes no difference in whether he could write or not.
So, I have the vast amount of scholars and historical evidence to show that the apostles and Jesus more than likely didn't know how to write (if they were literate or not) and you have......? Oh yeah, you have your almighty opinion.

Agreed on most all, but still, are you saying that matthew did not write his own gospel? The same 300 years of religious scholars seem to say that he did, are they wrong in this and right in other things only? or are they only wrong and right when it matches what YOU consider right and wrong?
So Jesus could read but could not write? interesting, such things usually go hand in hand. The next person I meet who can fluently read characters on a page and discern meaning from them who cannot also recreate the same characters for themselves and know what they mean will be the first unless they have no arms, and the bible seems to say jesus had all his parts. Thanks for agreeing with me that he could probably write.
