Re: What Would a Patripassian Gospel Look Like?
...there is gradation of inspiration is Judaism, Torah most inspired, prophets a little less, ketuvim a lot less. Daniel being in the ketuvim is a partial rejection in and of itself (as a fundie Christian would see it if he knew any of this) because its a denial of plenary inspiration. The idea of ...

Re: Muhammad gained his knowledge of the OT via the Diatesse
The implication of early Islamic reception of the Diatessaron makes clear that the substitution myth of Jesus trading places with someone before the crucifixion was inherited from the Christian source for the Diatessaron too. I don't follow the logic here. Since there is no substitution myth in the...

BDB indicates that Deut. 33:2's eshdat lamo is corrupt, with "many emendations proposed."Secret Alias wrote:Eshdat lamo = fire law.

Re: 60 Scholars On Messianic Expectation At The Turn Of The
The use of Persian makes it clear - no absolutely certain - [the Pentateuch] was written in the Persian period or later. Perhaps you could expand on this a bit. I'm well aware of the use of Persian in late books like Esther and Ezra-Nehemiah, but apart from you I've heard no such claims about the P...

Re: 60 Scholars On Messianic Expectation At The Turn Of The
Bullshit. Irenaeus accepts Mosaic authorship in both Against Heresies and Proof of the Apostolic Preaching. (In the latter, for instance, he introduces a garbled version of Genesis 1:1 with the words: "Moses, who was the first to prophecy, says in Hebrew" etc.) You're obviously too stupid...

Re: 60 Scholars On Messianic Expectation At The Turn Of The
Everyone knew Ezra wrote the Torah?? Who's everyone? Clearly not the author of the Bava Batra passage. Various pagans ... Such as? ... and Christians (Irenaeus just the earliest). Bullshit. Irenaeus accepts Mosaic authorship in both Against Heresies and Proof of the Apostolic Preaching . (In the la...

Re: 60 Scholars On Messianic Expectation At The Turn Of The
Secret, rabbinic tradition nowhere intimates that Ezra authored the Torah, not in Sanhedrin 21a or anywhere else for that matter. Ummm. EVERYONE outside of the Israelites KNEW Ezra wrote the Torah. The fact that Sanhedrin 21 says Ezra COULD HAVE written the Torah is like my son admitting that the b...

Re: 60 Scholars On Messianic Expectation At The Turn Of The
Remember the rabbinic intimation that Ezra wrote the Torah manifests itself in a Mosaic manner. I forget the exact wording but something like 'if anyone could have been equal to the task (of Torah authorship) Ezra was that guy' or something like that. Secret, rabbinic tradition nowhere intimates th...

Re: A Conservative Scholar's Argument for Marcionite Priorit
I would also add: How exactly does a NT canon at the time of Paul support a claim for Marcionite priority? Or are you proposing a broader revision of history? Marcion preceded Paul?

Re: A Conservative Scholar's Argument for Marcionite Priorit
So what's with the thread title then? It seems rather misleading, not to mention dishonest, considering there's no conservative scholar's argument for Marcionite priority coming from Kruger and the blog you've linked to.Secret Alias wrote:No of course not.
