Re: Parallels Between Jesus and the Egyptian God, "Shu"
I do think that "Son of God," in the context, is most easily explained as originally being a counter to Caesar. However, once that claim is made, beliefs about a son of god from various cultures may have been added to the mix. The virgin birth, for instance, is more likely to come from He...

Re: Parallels Between Jesus and the Egyptian God, "Shu"
The late BC/BC / early AD/CE progression is likely to be 1a Aramaic was Isho 1b Hebrew was ישוע (Yeshua/Yehoshua) 2. Koine was Ἰησοῦς (Iēsous) 3. Latin was/is Jesus IESVS/IESUS I used to promote such. As far as Isho is concerned. Yeshua or Yehoshua I believe has a slightly higher plausibility than ...

Re: New book on the Jesus from the remote past
Andrew. I would ignore Josen or Giuseppe, and his review. After 10 years of knowing his work. He is one of the last mythcist I would trust as far as an academic opinion. He refuses everything academic and is a typical mythcist. The only reason he is replying, is because you are deviating from academ...

Re: Late dating of Mark: How far would you go? And what are your arguments?
The dating I use is due to the war. The fall of the temple factually changed the way early christians proselytized and since they could no longer share information with their kind, they needed text to combat heretical versions and get their message out. Add to that there was an instant need to compi...

Re: The best evidence of a celestial crucifixion in Paul
Conclusions are usually based on evidence which helps dictate context, which is then explained in a credible Commentary. You have only supplied a personal opinion without even a possibility of substantiating it. All while offering no cross references to support any context. And dude, this phrase is ...

Re: Yahwist’s Parallel Formation Techniques
It is important to try to understand how the various stories were constructed and the interrelations. I'm not satisfied with the conclusions KLewis gives or implies but think listing and discussing them is useful. How much was influenced from Mesopotamian cultures? Quite a bit under Gunkel, and I h...

Re: Paul never attacked Paganism and this is strange
My point is that he never attacked the Paganism with the same insistence/violence he attacked the Judaizers, Is there a difference between ignoring and fighting perceived heretical traditions? Again, you seem to think Paul wrote alone, he did not write most of his text, even the 7 attributed epistl...

Re: Those stupid disciples!
In the "Denial of Peter" Stories: CW I view them in whole as fictional. These are things people far removed from Israel are quoting based on Hellenist who ""may"" have visited the temple 0-50 years after it fell during Passover. And anywhere from 35-65 years after cruc...

Re: Those stupid disciples!
The Priests were given Settlements in Galilee and would rotate into Jerusalem for Mishmarot Service at appropriate times for their week's Service. I don't know if this is correct or not. So the Pharisees were a divided group, between the Hellenistic Pharisees who worked with Romans to oppress the A...
