I have found a curious quote from Abakuk 3:11: Sun and moon stood still in the heavens at the glint of your flying arrows, at the lightning of your flashing spear. The famous miracle of the biblical Joshua regared the sun and the moon delaying themselves, a miracle of judgment on his enemies. And t...

to Charles Wilson, Did Demetrus Eucerus destroyed thoroughly Jerusalem buildings as Mark claimed Jesus prophesied (13:2)? I don't think so. However that corresponds of what Josephus wrote in Antiquity: VII, I, 1 "Caesar gave orders that they should now demolish the entire city and temple"...

to Joseph D. L., I could not find in the writings of Irenaeus what you claimed: "Even Irenaeus is hesitant to ascribe it to a heretical sect." Where is the evidence for your claim? Because he gives Matthew to the Ebionites, Luke to the Marcionites, John to the Nicolaitians and Valentinian...

I'm just fed up with these academics treating Christianity as if it's anything but a scam. Maybe someone should define the terms and present the case. It would at least be interesting to read. Markan priority is treated as a foregone conclusion. That cripples everything else they would have to say ...

I don't care what anyone says. This is an awesome movie!

None this matters anyway. He'll just delete his posts in a few days anyway.

Wait, I can still view them from my page. What's happening?
