Re: What is the source of this quote: "not protesting against himself being good"

Yes, of course. However, I ask that you at least appear to try to understand.
Sincerely.

Re: What is the source of this quote: "not protesting against himself being good"

I don't follow your proposed reasoning, CW. Do tell. I write this not to satisfy some puerile desire on someone's part for a faux dialogue - I've certainly better things to do - but for others who might want to find an entry point for understanding my view of the Roman Construction of the NT.

Matthew 19: 13 – 23 (RSV): [13] Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked the people; [14] but Jesus said, "Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven." [15] And he laid his hand...

Re: The Source of Mark's Naked Youth Narrative?

If the Title of this Thread may receive a comment, I believe we have an alternative in Thackeray's Translation of Josephus' Antiquities... : “And now the feast of unleavened bread, which the Jews call Passover, came round; it is an occasion for the contribution of the multitude of sacrifices, and a ...

Re: Flaw with Marcion priority theory?

However gMark has an *imminent* end of world in his little apocalypse chapter 13. This, in my opinion, is a literary creation written around Alexander Jannaeus. Mark 13: [14] "But when you see the desolating sacrilege set up where it ought not to be (let the reader understand), then let those ...

Re: Personification of Group Dynamics: Mishmarot Problem or Christian?

...And I have asked you to verify that Bilgah and Immer served Passover and Feast week of 4 BCE and 9 CE and you have refused to lift even pencil and paper to verify that this might be true.

So, go on down that Dead-End Path of yours. Just leave me out of it.

Personification of Group Dynamics: Mishmarot Problem or Christian?

Hello Everyone -- John 1: 14 - 15 (RSV, Emph. added): [14] And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father. [15] (John bore witness to him, and cried, "This was he of whom I said, ` He who comes after me r...

Re: Earlier dating of Revelation

One problem here is what might be termed "Compound Dating": Revelation 8: 1 (RSV): [1] When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. Within the Story of Revelation this Fragment appears. Does it refer to something in "Our" Histories? W...

Britannicus was the only begotten son of Claudius - Nero was the adopted son. By way the beautiful Messalina, of which: Acts 5: 9 (In Part): "Hark, the feet of those that have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out." Which appears to come from: Tacitus, Annals, Bo...
