1. NascentAtheist's fearful and obscurant sock accounts, Dave0258/CAFoster58, have reared their ugly Heads. It's of little consequence; the truth cannot be muzzled. For any individual finding Nascent/Dave/CA's attempts at censorship insulting, a simple visit to my Channel- or a scroll back through the comments- will offer some impartial and academically sound analysis.

2. I have a policy- not unlike Nascent/Dave/CA's policy of refusing to comment on Theist Channels- of not responding to indivdiual comments on videos. However, i am more than willing to answer any question, and respond to any argument posted on my Channel.

3. I have rebutted Nascent/Dave/CAFoster's claims, that the Gospels included in the Brit Hadasha (NT) are equivalent with the Gnostic Gospels in a lack of historical authority. I have also included a link which destroys such arguments, in more elaborate detail.

4. As i am using sound sources - including critical secular historians such as William Foxwell Albright, who in 'Toward a More Conservative View' stated that the Gospels of the "NT" were penned "very probably sometime between about 50 A.D. and 75 A.D"- ...

5. ...and in light of the fact that one of the most skeptical Bible scholars in history, Sir William Mitchell Ramsay, admitted "Luke is a historian of the first rank. This author should be placed along with the very greatest historians. Luke's history is unsurpassed in respect of its trustworthiness",

6. ...and with regard to my complete honesty in everything i have asserted (as opposed to Condell's approach), i can only presume that Nascent-D/CA's obsessive desire to silence my opinions, and my rebuttals, is a product of fear.

7. Nascent-D/CA cannot be trusted. Time and again he shows himself to be biased, stunted in intellect, and rational- even denying the very historicity of Rabbi Yah'shua Ha'Nazaret (Jesus). Notoriously cynical John Dominic Crossan, of the Jesus Seminar, concedes Yah'shua was an historical individual: That he was crucified is as sure as anything historical can ever be. It is apparent Nascent/Dave/CAFoster58 is a radical among radicals- the fringe of the fringe.

8. What Nascent/Dave/CAFoster really doesn't want readers to know, is that the NT is so historically accurate- and reliable- as to have Luke use the word 'politarchas', in reference to Thessalonican city officials. Ignorant, spoon-fed cynics- a category into which, i am sure, we can comfortably assign Nascent/Dave/CA- had, for centuries, accused Luke (And, by implication, the Gospels) of erring due to Luke's dismissal of the more common 'strateegoi' and 'exousiais'.

9. The only '"evidence" offered by such critics, in support of their allegations, was simply to point out that 'politarch' had not been used in any other form of Greek literature, as an official title. Humiliatingly, for these critics, they were forced to drop such accusations, due to the fact that 'politarchas' has now been found in 32 inscriptions, each dating from the second century B.C. to the third century A.D. At least FIVE of these inscriptions come directly from Thessalonica.

10. Objective readers will note, [that] Nas-D/CA incessantly spams the same old refuted nonsense, over and over again. The same objective readers will also apprehend Nas-D/CA's reliance upon assertions, in his attempted dismissal of Luke. Argumentation by assertion is worthless.
