To look for what? You're evading the issue of your having claimed that no
human being could have survived the rigors of crucifixion, but Josephus
claimed that he knew of at least one case where a person had survived
crucifixion. Why don't you deal with the situation?
Well, let me answer my own question. You don't deal with it because you
can't. You made an assertion that you had never investigated, and when you
were presented with reasons to believe that the claim is not true, you had
no answer. So you have chosen evasion. In other words, you're a typical
biblical inerrantist.
You also made several other assertions in your letter that have been
rebutted, and you are evading all of the rebuttals. When are you going to
offer us evidence to corroborate your claim that the apostles suffered
persecution and martyrdom for preaching the resurrection? If you don't even
attempt to prove this claim, we can only assume that you know that you can't
prove it.
