This is a complete misuse of the faith vs sight contrast of 2 Cor 3-5. That material is skew/irrelevant to the question of whether a major historic event, that was put on the level of the Genesis flood, 1, took place, 2, took place as predicted, 3, took place as predicted by Christ and 4, took place as predicted by Christ for the reasons Christ gave.
Only a wordy know-nothing would put the two side by side.
Payne and Holford cannot both be right. Payne was shut up; people stopped listening. That's the deal.
People who had no business listening to begin with (walking by sight) ended up...walking by sight (in Josephus) thanks to Hole - ferd...
:doh:
