You say you win, but at what cost?

> more misleading waffle on the definition of τέκτων
Do you seriously think a mason or builder in the general sense wouldn’t know how to construct a house? Legitimately retarded take if you think this, even if we grant your argument that τέκτων in this context means a stonemason or general builder. That’s what your primary objection was. Regardless of the term used, your objection is to disprove that claim. Haven’t seen you try.

> “““Josephus”””
If I explain to you who he is you’ll just ignore it or say he never existed or some retarded take like that, so here’s another source you’ll have a hard time refuting.

This is a boundary marker made by Roman emperor Hadrian remarking the cedar forests of Lebanon for himself between AD 117-138. Cedars have lifespans of hundreds of years, so cedars in Hadrian’s time would still be growing and of harvesting age in the time of Jesus. Of course, you already acknowledge the existence of trees in Lebanon via the Gilgamesh reference so we’re in agreement there. What you refuse to realize is that wood was a traded commodity in the Roman Near East. Lebanon (part of Roman Syria) and Judea are right next to each other geographically. The trade routes of the time would allow easy access to imported cedar wood there as in most areas of the empire, and wood was used for many commodities aside from house building, like food bowls, utensils, doors, children’s toys, wagons, fishing boats, tents, etc. If you want to delude yourself into thinking the people of Judea built wagons and boats out of stone and valuable metals when they were used by all classes of people rich and poor, then IDK what to tell you man.

And in all of that sidetracking you still couldn’t disprove that Jesus knew how to build a sturdy house.

At least the first time the schizo trolling was funny. Now it’s just answering retarded history questions. Enjoy denial I guess.
