Re: The Early Christian Depiction of Jesus as a.God

Does Luke 1:1-3 indicate it was a compilation? Luke 1:1-3 1 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, 2 Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word; ...

Re: Say It Aint So Joe. Test. Flav. Eusebius Author/Discover

. . . Origen is combatting the claims of Celsus' hypothetical Jew, whom was critical of Jesus being the Christ. If the TF contained negative comments about Jesus, then this would support Celsus.

Re: Loaves and Fishes

. . . We now have a complete disconnect with human culture of the Pleistocene, but these people, especially in India, over this very long period could well have retained memory of big slow cycles of the climate, embedding this story in the Yuga myth of a 24,000 year cyclic pattern of gold, silver, ...

Re: Jesus is Caesar deified

. . Only a complete absence of understanding of Christian ethics and theology can produce this twisted Caesar idea. . . Even Acharya S doesn't buy this theory. Notably even Acharya S (D.M.
