Many scholars believe the crucifixion occurred around 33 AD.
I know that and all I did was read one book!

Well, it wasn't Brady or he would have had a picture of it.
Correction. He would have had Gardner or his others actually capture the photographs. New research shows Brady didn’t actually take any of them.
Back to your regularly scheduled O/T thread

"This darkness, in the third book of his History, calls, as appears to me without reason, an eclipse of the sun".
– Thallus (52 AD)
“In the fourth year of the 202nd Olympiad (AD 33), there was an eclipse of the sun greater than any previously known. At the sixth hour of the day, that is noon, it became night, so that the stars appeared in the sky, and a great earthquake in Bethnia overturned many houses in Nika.”
– Phlegon of Trollis (~200 AD)
“At the same moment, the light of the day was withdrawn, though the sun was at its height. You yourselves have an account of this worldwide port tent preserved in your archives.”
– Tertullian (197 AD)

I believe his full name was Mattityahu Levi ben Alphaeus (Matthew Levi the son of Alphaeus).

The article says science confirms an earthquake happened between 26CE and 36CE in an area that earthquakes are fairly common.

You are correct.
I can’t stand it when I ask a simple question and someone assumes I’m implicitly advocating or attacking a certain view. 90% of the time I’m just curious and would like to know the answer to a question.

Because of your history. This ain’t the first time.

I think I read somewhere that Matthew was the oldest of all of the disciples and at the time that he decided to stop tax collecting and follow Jesus he was 21 years old. That’s pretty interesting.
What do you think age 21 looked like back in antiquity?

If you care to, just look up Ron Wyatt and all of his Biblical dicoveries quite intersting

Feldstein. It was sad that he gave up writing when he became a periodontist. Such talent!

Good god, even Answers in Genesis called that dude a fraud. You know it’s bad when creationists aren’t dumb enough to believe you.

Perhaps, however if we're playing the bible game, whomever wrote this Gosple likely wasn't even Jewish. . .
For starters he didn't know much of anything about Passover beside the name and that Jew's observed it. He confuses to the last supper meal of Preparation Day with the Seder meal. And he had the trial conducted on a High Holy Sabbath day which wouldn't even of been done on even a regular Sabbath day. This is akin to a Christian child not knowing what day his Christmas gifts are opened. Neither event could or would have happened as this Gospel claims. It would render anyone, much less a priest, ritually impure and unable to participate.
Add in, whomever it was, didn't possess enough Hebrew to understand the woman he references in Isaiah as a virgin couldn't have possibly been. This young woman or maiden was already pregnant. It's the whole reason she is mentioned. The story is about a king who's receiving a prophesy that his woe's (these two attacking kingdoms) will be gone before this pregnant woman's child has reached the age of knowing right from wrong. This is not an intellectually high level word and hard to get wrong if you have basic comprehension skills, much less able to write. This lack can also be detected in his (many) faulty references to the old-testament. Where many are not pointing to the correct verse (wrong book) or simply worded or interpreted incorrectly.
We could keep going with Matthew inaccuracies for quite a while.
And before you guys start back with the infallibility replies. They start on the very first page of the New Testament. Don't believe me? Count the number of generations in that third grouping of generations in chapter 1. The one Matthew claims is 14 generations like the first and second grouping. Hint: you'll fine 13. And as if this is not enough look back to Chronicles and you'll find they/he/Matthew is missing three generations in the second group. And like I said this is just a couple paragraphs in on page one...

The genealogies weren’t meant to exact on chronological but persons of significance. The purpose was to implement a writing style. This is common knowledge.
