Re: Historicity of Jesus - the Talking Points
For the historicity. Nothing to date explains the theological literature we are left with, better then a martyred man at Passover who made a selfless act for the good of the common man, that generated these legends and mythology in oral tradition and collections of written literature. So much so, he...

Re: Jesus' prediction of the destruction of the temple
How he can be so certain with the writings all colected and compiled after the fall of the temple is beyond me. I think for quite some time before the temple fell it would have been obvious its life would be short. With the social unrest under oppression, and the Romans skill of bleeding these stubb...

Re: Bill O'Reilly's Killing Jesus
Occupation. Absolutely. Its my opnion there was a difference between Jerusalem oppression under the Roman sword, and Galilean oppression under Antipas. I dont think the details in differences were major, but in Galilee there was a socioeconomic divide between the Rich Jewish Hellenist running the sh...

Re: Bill O'Reilly's Killing Jesus
Back on topic, however, Moss is one of many to cut this thing to shreds. It's a pity O'Reilly didn't get a better ghost writer. Even if there were inevitable backreadings of O'Reilly's political beliefs into the text, it might still have been salvageable if the writer actually made use of the oppor...

Re: Bill O'Reilly's Killing Jesus
Ive been watching Candida's work closely I have a funnier story. I am friends with Ms Moss on Facebook and it is hilarious to see all the men kiss up to her because she is young and pretty. I like Candida very much and think she is very intelligent and qualified in every respect. But I have always ...

Re: Bill O'Reilly's Killing Jesus
Ive been watching Candida's work closely, she claims Jesus is stating you need to give up all your possession to release yourself from hell, as the only way to get to heaven. Hoping im following this right. One can view her new interview when she was on his show. On her facebook page she has the apo...

Re: Historical Jesus scholarship
Unless bias can be shown, I don't find it credible to denounce someone's work. I would pick on Ben Witherington as he follows a apologetic version of Jesus. Example, places Jesus as a middle class citizen, ignoring modern work in archeology that shows the agrarian peasant class had no middle class w...
