Man, your reputation just went down the tubes if you really trust the Jesus Seminar for anything.
Seriously, if you're going to take those methods of determination on this subject I don't know how you even call yourself a scholar. Gathering together a bunch of like minded people, regardless of most of them being experts in unrelated fields and have them vote on what they thought and calling that "scholarship" is just absurd.
I might as well have a bunch of musicians start voting on where the next S beam in a bridge project should go. Their results would be just as accurate and meaningful as the results of the Jesus Seminar.
Why aren't you going to men like Ehrman, Wallace, Warfield, Babara and Kurt Aland, Metzger, Mounce, etc? Who actually know the field better than almost anyone?
