spin do you have a link that I can look up? I was working only on recollection having seen his argument some time back, but perhaps if you googled "carrier procurator prefect".... Oops my bad. I meant a link to the works of Josephus that tells it differently then the one I quoted. Sadly, not everyt...

Does the reference to the outer courtyard of the temple as "hel" correlate in any way with the English word "hell"? Or is this merely coincidental? Probably just coincidental. Hell is ultimately derived (as are all Germanic cognates) from an Indo-European root ( KEL- , to cover, conceal) that is al...

Of course, we find "cushions" explicitly mentioned in Mark: Mark 4: 38 (RSV): [38] But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him and said to him, "Teacher, do you not care if we perish?" Mark 14: 15 ( Moffatt ): [ 15 ] He will show you a large room upstairs, with couches spread,...

Carrier's comment on the procurator-prefect issue re Pilate in On the Historicity of Jesus, p. 345

Here is a list of 7 Prefects of Judea before 44 AD and 6 of the 7 Josephus calls procurators. Josephus wrote in Greek, never using the word "procurator". Using the old numbering for Josephus, 18.2.2 says nothing about procurators or any possible Greek equivalent: it talks of the management of Judea...

The camel domestication issue is just one of very many pointers to the notion that the books of the Torah were written in a much later period than that traditionally posited for their production and the conflict between the texts and archaeology which also point great temporal problems for the accur...

Skeptics deny the authenticity of the Torah. This statement is heavily laden with polemic. What does "authenticity of the Torah" mean? The relevant books may be forgeries? They weren't written by Hebrews? They aren't the genuine articles? Perhaps the O.P. intended not "authenticity" but "accuracy" ...

It's obvious that your response to muslims in general is irrational and almost certainly based on media manipulation Lie, first hand experience with muslims from many countries , This sort of intangible claim is a schoolyard resort of those lacking content: "You don't know..." "I know lots!" This d...

Before we unleashed sectarian chaos in Syria, christians had a reasonable life in the country. Armenians in Aleppo were well-off and happy. There were no beheadings. The only people tortured were for political reasons (just like Guantanamo). Everyone knew who the secret police were by sight. Despit...
