Re: Gospel priority
I don't yet know the answer, but I am most often looking at the gospel relationships as follows: Mk -> *Ev Mk and/or *Ev -> Jn *Ev and maybe Mk -> Mt Then finally Luke is aware of all the preceding gospels: Mk -> Lk *Ev -> Lk Mt -> Lk Jn -> Lk No Q? "No Q for you!" says the "Q Nazi&q...

Re: The Torah ordained through angels
In Galatians 3:19 Paul says the Law was given through angels and trusted through a mediator. The mediator I guess is Moses. Who are the angels? Do you think these could be the archons of the lower celestial realms? The rulers of this material world? I'm thinking this is a smoking gun? Is there anot...

Re: ancient Judaean horoscope text (?)
Woefully insufficiently informative report--e.g. found where and when?--but fwiw: https://www.israelhayom.com/2024/03/14/mysterious-ancient-horoscope-scroll-unveiled-in-judaean-desert/ To pull an F M Cross 'Excuse me mr. presenter ... but isn't that the text from the Siloam inscription?' moment (in...

Re: Was Josephus a Turncoat?
If the question is did the historical Josephus "turn" on the Jewish revolutionary movement he was a part of during the Jewish War of 66 - 70 CE? Of course. No question. Seems that "Of course" should be followed by an "aarrgghh!" My observation that "most governmen...

Re: Was Josephus a Turncoat?
It is possible for individuals to evolve their thinking over time as they encounter and at least at times overcome challenges to their notions of how "things worked." So, we have a priestly Judean aristocrat who, like most folks within a state government, does their duty when called upon. ...
