So let's take these points you make one by one. You say: Irenaeus had to do any rescuing. He just selected four gospels among many, most likely because they were already used by non-heretic churches and were believed to be the oldest ones. What evidence is there for this assumption other than Irena...

It makes no sense for Aretas' daughter to go to Macherus if it was in Antipas' hands. She was trying to get back to her father. Yes, it makes a lot sense because Macherus was close to Aretas' controlled territory. Just like it makes sense for a western extreme Islamist to go to Turkey in order to j...

1. Mark, Matthew, Luke and John exist in the first century written by people named Mark, Matthew, Luke and John. The four gospels got assigned bogus authors not earlier than the second century. There is a good chance that Irenaeus decided on "Matthew" and "Luke". 2. Tatian comes...

I don't want to have to answer isolated passages of others that you have cherry-picked. Good day.

In other words, you don't have any evidence, except peshering on the whole of Hebrews, or accepting Carrier & cienfuegos as primary evidence (or the word of God!).

to Huller, I am among the many fucking idiots and morons than you are allowed to insult on this forum (where are you Peter?). The slabs of texts you quoted do not favor your hypothesis. They are only the basis for your very biased interpretations. Do you think that Irenaeus would insinuate he interp...

to MrMacSon and cienfuegos And where would that be said in Hebrews? (about the location of Christ`s sacrifice). You did not answer my question, again. I thought you, MrMacSon, endorsed what cienfuegos wrote: It is explicit here that Christ's sacrifice was performed in the "greater and more perf...
