Re: 'Cult of the Good'
Re: ... ὃ καὶ ἀγαθοῦ κρεῖττόν ... SO there's a 'Cult of the Good' References to ἀγαθοῦ are distinct. (And all of this is far removed from the question posed by the OP.) Absolutely not. ...the question whether there is evidence at all of two separate and uni-directional-sequenced and both "misu...

Re: 'Cult of the Good' ; Naming Names
Cult of the Good' evidence Well I've wondered about that on other threads; I'm not convinced it's entirely impossible/unrelated, i.e. that there was a Chrestos cult before the (later) Jesus myth, I'm also not jumping to that conclusion. Who or what Deity was 'The Good' (concept) which Philo is taci...

Re: Any proposed 'Cult of the Good' evidence?
Who or what Deity was 'The Good' (concept) which Philo is tacitly belittling at DVC 2 ? What were Followers of 'The Good' theosophy called, as Jewish heretics, in the First Century Diaspora? By (my reading of) the context of De Vita Contemplativa , they must have been competitors: a rival cult to hi...

Re: Savior of Lives: Proportion, Lack of Exaggeration, etc.
How many experts in the useless field of Biblical research can claim raising up a savior of lives? Do you ever think about Pantuck? ... Every life that Pantuck saves owes a little bit of that goodness to Morton Smith. You're probably vastly overstating the 'debt' Pantuck's genius & skill owed t...

Resheph, Patron of Shechem?
Primarily, we recognize Resheph by the gazelle-head on his crown. (I very much doubt the interpretation of the gazelle 'noxious, pestilential and harmful' symbol/animal in the passage below, however.) https://isthatinthebible.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/resheph.png?w=172 Fierce!

Well ...
I am old enough to remember when the politically-incorrect terms "Eurofag" and "artfag" would have been casually uttered to disparage this sort of thing. Do we read the model as portrayed here as "effeminate" tho*? a) The Poster. https://www.semana-santa.org/wp-content/...
