"We should hold a funeral for the view that Jesus entertained no exalted thoughts about himself." Dale C. Allison, Constructing Jesus: Memory, Imagination, History, 304

"Jesus never directly teaches that he is the *Messiah* or the word of God in the gospels." ???

He was. "One of the most certain facts of history is that Jesus was crucified on orders of the Roman prefect of Judea, Pontius Pilate.” – Bart Ehrman, atheist NT scholar

Very funny reading this from someone who himself opposes the universal scholarly consensus that Christ was crucified 😂 it's indisputable that Christ was crucified: x.com/aabbbbcc33/sta…
