Fine answer me this. Given what we know about the book. That the author lied when it suited narrative flow, that he copied off the OT, that he was trying to tell Jesus in the image of Paul, and that he was trying to downplay the 12+Cephus+James…given all this tell me how you objectively determine which parts are from the oral tradition (that we can’t prove existed at all or that it was accurate) and which are not?
Pretty sure you did say that. The best source we got for the guy you have admitted wasn’t even talking about him.
In one small, nuanced part.
