So you're saying that the presence of the word archons in relation to the crucifixion of Jesus makes it unambiguous? the presence of the word "archons of this age " makes it unambiguous. Earthly rulers simply make no sense in our passage , quite apart from the question whether 2:6–16 is a...

particularly the original Ascension of Isaiah , where the crucifixion is predicted to take place in the Firmament Again: please state things correctly rather than give misleading statements. Droge's reconstruction of the earliest text might have the crucifixion being predicted in the firmament, but...

I believe you're correct in affirming that the phrase in 1 Corinthians is ambiguous. Drpge claims that it is not ambiguous. What makes it unambiguous? seeing it from the POV of a set of 2nd century texts that talk continually and unambiguously about demonic archons in the air, particularly the orig...

The fact that Quadratus mentions those who had been raised from the dead alongside those who were healed of diseases suggests that he meant those whom Jesus had raised during his ministry (Jairus' daughter, the Widow of Nain's son, and Lazarus), not those who rose from their tombs at Jesus' death o...

I believe you're correct in affirming that the phrase in 1 Corinthians is ambiguous. Drpge claims that it is not ambiguous.

Given this holy caveat : A safer conclusion would be that, whatever the degree of Paul’s dishonesty, it was exceeded by the dishonesty of the men who edited the New Testament. ...I think that, if we introduce Josephus in the discussion, the probabilities increase that the historical Paul was a liar....

by “the Lord of Glory” was probably as lost to history for the Gospel writers as it is for us today, and so they had to re-invent what Jesus’ glory was about in the first place. I want to make it clear that: 1) I agree with Droge that the passage is interpolated 2) I agree with Droge that the passa...

This verse seems to identify Jesus as a glorious lord at the moment of crucifixion (in stark opposition to the story of the Gospels). the centurion in Mark would disagree with you. “Son of God” is not “the Lord of glory.” Neither is “the christ,” in the sense in which gMark uses that term. and what...

EVIDENCE THAT PAUL WAS A LIAR: According to Paul's account in Galatians, he was not made an apostle by authorization from people in Jerusalem. Paul never was an apostle in the sense that others were, at all. He only says he was. On what basis does Paul say he was an apostle when the Jerusalem apost...
