Re: More Proof that Tertullian Was Copying Irenaeus
I'm not wanting to derail this thread (and wondered about starting another thread, which I will do if this does) but, besides being interested in Stephan's thesis that Tertuallian used Irenaeus (which is interesting, per se) I'm interested in the question of where Irenaeus - a key figure in the dev...

Re: More Proof that Tertullian Was Copying Irenaeus
Just a few points: 1. when you say "more (proof)", it would be good to have a link to the previous "proof"; 2. when you cite material, it would be good if you cite the exact references involved; 3. why do you think Irenaeus of Lyon was a "Roman writer" when his work wa...

Re: The Gospels Were Not Published Until c.150
I AM right about the historical evidence: not one Christian writer on record before Justin Martyr had his hands on any Gospels Then, which writer, prior to "Irenaeus" (whose existence is known because of which secular document?) claims to have read "Paul's" epistles? How did &qu...

Re: Did Jesus Exist? Price-Ehrman Debate: Full Audio
OK - I'll say it again. An argument for a specific historical position cannot be negated, countered, by an argument that is based upon theological/philosophical arguments. An argument for a specific historical position requires a counter argument, rebuttal, based upon an alternative historical argu...

Re: Another text, another story
The main argument for the second idea is that in the Hebrew bible the fig tree would allegedly symbolize Israel, what I would judge as wrong. There are only two verses in which good or early figs (and not the tree) symbolize good Isrealites. In the Hebrew bible the fig tree is (together with the vi...

Re: 1 Cor 15:3-11 once again
For followers of this problematic passage, [1Corinthians 15:3-11], which I think is an interpolation, I have thrown together another analysis with at least one novel addition on Reddit, At the reddit site: This is precisely how one would hook an interpolation into the context... by picking up on wo...

Re: John the Baptist is Historical
Load of horse crap. Because you perceive the date incorrectly, does not make the data inconclusive. Thank you for confirming the urgency of my forthcoming visit to the opthalmologist. If you have some data to offer, to refute my contention, Stephan, then, please provide the links to your references...

Re: John the Baptist is Historical
I would have loved to display numerous unrelated sources about John the Baptizer. There is an earliest source written in Aramaic that includes verses in the Gospel of John. There are thus comparative four verses all somewhat alike. More commonly we see the three Synoptics sort of similar, going bac...
