Re: Interesting statement in Romans 15
I just really noticed this, I assume its been noticed by many people for a long time. Romans 15 18 For I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me to win obedience from the Gentiles, by word and deed, 19 by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of t...

Re: The churches Paul evangelized...
It's clear at least in 1 Thessalonians that Paul is writing to a community that previously did not worship the Jewish God. It's difficult to imagine how Paul could have converted some community of pagans to worshiping the Jewish God with stories about how the Jewish God raised his son from the dead...

Re: Recommendation for critical analysis of Acts of the Apostles?
I guess I'm obligated to read the Westnar report, although I already see a number of problems with it, just as with The Five Gospels . I'm generally quite unimpressed with their conclusions. For example, the reports comments on the exitance of an early Jerusalem church are quite absurd. In Galatian...

Tertullian on 'Christ Jesus, the true High Priest of the Father, in the person of Joshua', and Zechariah 3 and 6
Tertullian Adv. Marc. III,7 .6 ff So also in Zechariah, in the person of Jeshua, yes truly, in a name which is itself a sacrament, the veritable high priest of the Father, Christ Jesus, is by two styles of raiment marked out for two advents: he is at first clothed in filthy garments, which means the...

Re: Recommendation for critical analysis of Acts of the Apostles?
I'm looking for a good critical analysis of Acts of the Apostles. There are many out there, but I don't want to waste my time reading some crap. Anyone have a good recommendation?

Re: Evidence Christianity started as mythicist
The Gospel of Thomas is some second or third century forgery derived from the other Gospels and letters of Paul. Nothing to see here... Except Martijn Linssen, who has posted here recently, is arguing that G.Thomas was an [obscure] early document which Mark used and which was then was used more by ...
