Jesus’ last words on the cross, ‘My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?’ hardly seem like the words of a man who planned it that way. It doesn’t take Sherlock Holmes to figure there is something wrong here.”

Ironically, there is not a single book in the bible that can be proven to have been written by the namesake. Outside of the Orthodox and Catholic church whose authority says it was the case.

You always come out on the losing end of any such attempt to debunk something like this because, trust me, they've had 2,000 years to rationalize it away. They'll just claim you don't understand / couldn't possibly understand because you don't love Jesus and don't understand his word because the holy spirit isn't presiding over your understanding, etc.
Maddening, I know. But true.
