One thing I do know...is truth always prevails. It's like cream. It will always come to the top eventually. keep searching.

Alas, Don dismisses all scholarship and evidence that does not conform to his prejudices.
He chooses to ignore all writings by the church fathers who were of the generation following the Apostles and who received their instruction from the Apostles, who were eyewitnesses to the acts, miracles, death and resurrection of Jesus. These include Clement of Rome, Ignatius of Antioch and Polycarp of Smyrna.
Don is more intent on winning an argument than on seeking truth.
He also made a remark comparing the authenticity of Apostolic writings to someone today writing about someone from the 60s. When I point out how many people have
recently written about Jack Kennedy he attempts to obfuscate by getting into conspiracy theories about the assassination. The assassination is irrelevant to the fact that many people who knew Kennedy well have written histories about his life, just as people who knew Jesus have written about Jesus.
