Thanks. That helps me understand. I apologize that I pursued it as I did but it never dawned on me that one who believes in Jesus could start with the idea that there may, in fact, be no historical basis for our belief in Jesus. But I guess you never said you believed in Jesus you just said that you follow the “way of Jesus”.

I must say that you have peeked my curiosity. If the “way of Jesus” has no historical basis…is it merely a philosophy of life?
