Re: A NEW APPROACH TO AN OLD PROBLEM

yes, and as Mary points out it was likely the Herodian/establishment Jews, but our texts usually just say 'the Jews' and we have to read between the lines.

Re: A NEW APPROACH TO AN OLD PROBLEM

I think the alternative to not crucified by Pilate was killed by the Jews.

Re: A NEW APPROACH TO AN OLD PROBLEM

Oh so do I, perhaps I wasn't clear enough and let me rephrase, you have to add more options than just those three, such as Jesus not being crucified by Pilate

Re: A NEW APPROACH TO AN OLD PROBLEM

Conclusion As has been stated at the beginning of this paper, at least one of the following three propositions must be false: 1. Jesus died ca. 29–33 CE. 2. John the Baptist died ca. 35–36 CE. 3. John the Baptist died earlier than Jesus. Sine Jesus being crucified under Pilate makes it into early c...

Re: Was Jesus a Violent Revolutionary?

I'm now leaning towards the second option, and that Mark heard about this custom from Peter, who presumably "did understand the point of the circumlocution and the high priest's reaction." There was no Mark secretary of Peter. why are you so credulous when it comes to these traditions?

Re: Was Jesus a Violent Revolutionary?

One of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him, and he went into the Pharisee's house and reclined at the table. (Luke 7:36) An invitation to eat in a Pharisee’s home? They did not grace just anyone with such an honor. And yet, it happened over and over again: While Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee a...

Re: Carrier on "gnosticism"

What I fear is that the rejection of gnosticism as category may imply also the rejection of an useful feature of it that was at the origin of the euhemerization of Jesus: hostility against YHWH. That's a category invented by you. Try reading Margaret Barker's The Great Angel , you'll find the sourc...

Re: What was "the church of God"?

I get the impression that all the apostles believed that Jesus "died for our sins" in 1 Cor. 15:3-11: For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures , that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day accordin...
