>>18986478That's not what I said. I'm not asking you to accept Christianity or trust scholars because they're scholars. I'm asking you to provide primary-source evidence for your specific accusation.
Secular textual scholars examine authorship, dating, provenance, manuscript transmission and historical reliability. Their conclusions aren't automatically Christian apologetics.
And I'm not claiming that everything negative in apocryphal literature is fake. I'm saying that you have yet to identify a single passage in the Gospel of Thomas where Christ commands or permits child rape.
Produce the passage. That's the entire argument.
