Subject: RE: BS: Jesus as mythic god like Zeus
Somebody, I think it was 282RA (who appears to be AR282 without the Caesarian obsession), wrote "remember that two Roman Church bishops--Irenaeus and Papias--did not believe Jesus died on the cross but lived in Asia to age 50". I do not want to argue the point (or the historicity of Jesus for that matter) but I would be grateful for any pointers to evidence to back up this "memory". Where is the evidence that Irenaeus and Papias, or either of them, believed Jesus lived in Asia to age 50? Curious... have never encountered this notion before.
