Independent means not by cult members. I believe it's a very reasonable thing to ask. No, there are not multiples references, and no, you don't need to be "an expert" to know this, because even those that defend the historicity of Jesus admit that.
You are defending an authority fallacy in soft but unequivocal terms. My advice is to learn about History standards in general and then applying them to this particular case. A question: who do you think the experts in this field are?
- foldr 10y agoI don't know what you mean by "cult members". We have multiple sources that are independent in all reasonable senses of the word, as you must know if you've read about this. It is certainly false to claim that those who believe that Jesus was a historical figure (i.e., all scholars) admit that there is an absence of multiple independent sources. See e.g. Bart Ehrman's book "Did Jesus Exist?", which gives a nice summary of all of the sources.
