Of course Luke derived from *Ev the idea of a spiritual entity descending on the earth in 3:2:


The "word of God" is the Logos.

Ken, one of the reasons Secret Mark can persuade about its authenticity is that it gives a detailed explanation about what Jesus went to do in Jericho (an explanation that is absent in Mark).

I think that " doubtless " in the Jesus's answer is a strong clue pointing to an explanation found inside the story itself of the gospel of Luke, not assumed a priori external to that gospel (i.e. possibly in Mark). " Doubtless " in Jesus's answer explains also why *Ev were to c...

"Doubtless" in Jesus's answer explains also why *Ev were to choose one city to begin with, even before that the name of the city ("Capernaum") was mentioned.

I think that "doubtless" in the Jesus's answer is a strong clue pointing to an explanation found inside the story itself of the gospel of Luke, not assumed a priori external to that gospel (i.e. possibly in Mark).

Continuing on my previous post: It seems to me that the right sequence would be: 1) Jesus ben Sapphat ("Damneus") is made temporarily high priest by Herod Agrippas II. 2) Hearsay about Jesus being accused of being not a legitimate high priest. 3) 1 Clement and Hebrews arguing for Jesus cel...

Giuseppe -- and maybe consider reading the NT letter of Hebrews as an apologia of Jesus supporters to having an Aaronic-ancestry claim discredited and gone? indeed Hebrews talks about Jesus entering in the heaven as a celestial high priest. And in Hegesippus's legend, James the Just seems to be inv...

But in Luke 4, Jesus returns from his temptation in the wilderness, and goes directly to Nazara. So when Jesus says: "And you will tell me, ‘Do here in your hometown what we have heard that you did in Caphernaum.’” It's puzzling, because Jesus has never been to Caphernum yet. Does that count a...

NOTA BENE: I don't mean to discuss in this thread with the various historicists who deny the existence of deniers in the Antiquity. I see that "Trypho" ( Dialogue 8) is reporting an accusation about a chronological sequence in the process of acceptance of the historicist belief: But the C...
