Yes, I know that you do not regard the NT as historically reliable, but I do. That puts me as a disadvantage in a debate, doesn't it. You can attack the NT, and I have to somehow defend it, but you don't have to answer for anything it says. Meanwhile, I also claim to believe the Tenach, and so I have to answer for its statements also, yet you know that I am not going to attack the Tenach with the kind of skeptical claims you level against the NT. My main purpose is to try to clear up misunderstandings about what it says, so that when you reject it, you will be rejecting the real thing and not a caricature.
Saying that a statement is anachronistic is not solid to me. It is pretty hard to say for sure what a certain group of Pharisees might have said as they were walking on the street in 31 C.E. There was a case in the writings of Luke where a proconsul was mentioned. Skeptics claimed that Luke could not have been written at the time period indicated because proconsuls did not rule at that time. Later historical research uncovered that actually there was a two year time period in which procunsuls were ruling and it corresponded exactly to the time of Luke's writing. What seemed to be a historical glitch proved to be solid evidence that Luke was written when it claimed to be, because a writer even a few years afterward would probably not have known about the brief change to proconsul government. Skeptics have said many such things about the NT and the Tenach, including that Isaiah had to have been written by two different authors because the author of Isaiah 1-39 was describing a different kind of G-d and message than the Isaiah 40-66 author. I will not dump my beliefs on the basis of such doubtable claims.
