Re: John of Gischala "was scandalized" at the news about Josephus and Jesus ben Sapphat
And Josephus - based on ?. OK, I'll take a guess - pure speculation of course - Agrippa II. How do you do it, maryhelena? Secret Alias wrote a "...silly little book" [His words...] on A-II and HE didn't get it. Everyone, please look at "The Baptism of John" and "The Baptism...

Re: John of Gischala "was scandalized" at the news about Josephus and Jesus ben Sapphat
After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers (Luke 2:46-47) ...was based on Josephus's Life 2: ...and I made mighty proficiency in the improvement...

Re: Nazareth, like Capernaum, is a Semitic-language place name...
You don't know which Semitic source lies behind the Greek (in its various forms) and you can't show that - in its earliest usage - Ναζαρενος was a gentilic rather than an epithet (though you've assumed the former [ABD]). You might benefit from F.C. Burkitt's "Syriac Forms of New Testament Prop...

Re: Every time Paul mentions Mark, he also mentions Luke
What are the arguments pertaining to Evangelion? Well, here's a start. I'd preface this by saying this is all very provisional. I reserve the right to be wrong. Its just a few hours worth of work: doing a good job would take at least a year....so any help improving or disproving this is welcome. To...

Re: External evidence that (Matthew and) canonical Luke comes after *Ev
1 Timothy 3-4, even if a Catholic epistle, is still reluctant to accept the genealogies found in the incipit of Matthew and Canonical Luke. 3 As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain people not to teach false doctrines any longer 4 or to devot...

Re: Reconstructing the original story of Paul
From an old post. Paul? As much a literary creation as is the gospel figure of Jesus. Paul as Jesus Reboot or Jesus as Paul Reboot? Although Richard Pervo has not gone that far (Thomas Brodie has opted for a literary Paul...) Pervo's chart, below, certainly raises many question..... The Mystery of ...

Re: Implications of Marcion for early Christianity?
Methinks.... Your more likely to have a heart attack.... 🙄 That's ok, Jesus could heal them. w.r.t. the Josephus stuff, I'm afraid I know hardly anything about Josephus, let alone all the textual differences between the different versions, so I really couldn't speak to any of that. Ah, I slipped up...
