I'm not sure how you play it, but most people don't play it while watching TV and surfing the internet.

Most people skim through the paper. Is this a reliable source?
|
It's not the paper's fault that people don't read the whole article. The SOURCE is reliable. The idiot reading only the first 3 words is not.

Do you know what it took to become a rabi back then?

Well number one, the topics addressed by this thread and the book deal with the new testament, which doesn't have a whole lot to do with rabbis. Number two you're basically saying that everything in the bible is grade-A reliable. Then why are there so many contradictions throughout the book?

Not to metion when Christ spoke they said he spoke with authority

Hitler spoke with authority too. Speaking with authority doesn't make it right, accurate, or truthful. What "they" said is irrelevant.

Btw WHY OH WHY would you want to fake being a leper? I dont think you understand what you just said. If you were a leper that meant that nobody can touch you it means the ultimate rejection. People would go out of their way to avoid you.

Jesus HEALED the leper. No one had a problem with going near him anymore after he was "healed."
Plus, let's say the stigma stayed around even after you were "cured." You take your newfound wealth provided by this guy who wanted to fake a miracle healing, move to a new town where no one knows you were (pretending to be) a leper, and start living high on the hog.
If we break down your post into its elements, you're saying "I know the bible is accurate because the stuff the bible says is confirmed in the bible."
That's not proof, that's belief, and that's the point I'm making. The trap that religious people fall into when trying to convince others that their religion is correct is that they can NEVER prove it. It's an issue of faith, and is not able to be validated.
