Good video. But does anyone know if Trobisch leans toward HJ or MJ? Does he have to be careful what he says now that he's employed by the Hobby Lobby Bible Museum? I noticed that throughout that video he does the "Yes Virginia there is a Santa Claus" thing by repeatedly saying things like ...

(or in Hindu-Arabic) It's been 2000 years since the 15th year of Tiberius. Or at least that's what the calendar says :) This is hopefully a better attempt than a previous thread I had started to discuss the Biblical origins of our calendar system (lets not talk about the temple siege being in 70AD a...

Why on earth would you be interested in reading what a fundie inerrantist has to say about Carrier's book? I don't know - maybe just for the entertainment value of the creative uses of logical fallacies :) The Price review is the one I'd be most interested in. I would not be surprised if Ehrman use...

What you propose would be a fictional tale inside a fictional tale. I agree - Jesus could have gone on to become a teacher, or continued to be a Tekton (the "Last temptation" book doesn't say what he did for a living) or whatever - he could have honed his political skills and gone on to b...

(in response to Crow's post above) I don't think the word "Christian" appears in that video clip. Jesus is giving Paul the "deer in the headlights look" because he's incredulous at how much Paul is "enhancing" Jesus' story to make it sell. The book was written by Nikos ...

There are 3 reviews of this book that will be interesting to see: Bart Ehrman (for obvious reasons) JP Holding (whom Carrier debated) Robert M Price I suppose the Ehrman and Holding reviews will be negative (or will they avoid even doing reviews so as to not bring attention to the book?). Price's wi...

Let's suppose that Pilate never condemned Jesus to be crucified and let him live. What do you think would have been the outcome of this? It's already sort of been done in the book "The Last Temptation of Christ" in which Jesus comes down from the cross and attemtps to live out the rest of...

Except for Tacitus, and Suetonius, and Josephus

Not to throw this OT, but back on FRDB there used to be a good counter-rebuttal to Josephus/Tacitus/Seutonius. If anyone kept a copy, could you kindly repost it here on this forum as a new discussion thread? Thanks.

Carry on...

It only takes a few clicks on outhouses previous posts to find his agenda: http://earlywritings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=39&p=111#p111 On a side note. While reading your article it reminded me of the first day I switched from mythicism towards believing in Jesus historicity. And it was ...
