only mention the first part of Doherty's words but not the immediately next sequel.
Wait a moment, I DID mention that when I quoted Doherty back on Page 2 of this thread, here:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3769&start=10#p80395
I gave a link to Doherty's page and wrote after the quote: "Doherty goes on to refer to other texts, though how that impacts on the implications of "probably a reference to earth" is not clear to me." Please check that for yourself to confirm. I also make the same comment in my review of Doherty's JNGNM, here:

Maybe you think that's not enough. Fair enough. But I think my comment is perfectly reasonable. If you'd like to explain how Doherty's comments about Apocalypse of Adam and Revelation 12 impacts our understanding of how to read AoI in its known Latin/Slavonic versions, I'd be interested to hear it.
Nor does Doherty's concession mean that AoI is "historicist". An
earthly Jesus doesn't necessarily mean a
historical Jesus, as I've said many times, including in my review where I discuss Doherty's use of AoI (see link above). But "in your form" and "dwelling among men, and in the world" does rule out S/L AoI as a text that has a clearly
celestial-only Jesus. That version only exists in Dr Carrier's imagination.
I hadn't planned to post again until I've completed a number of important projects over the next few months, but being accused of dishonesty is never nice.
