Re: The Source of Mark's Naked Youth Narrative?
If the Title of this Thread may receive a comment, I believe we have an alternative in Thackeray's Translation of Josephus' Antiquities... : “And now the feast of unleavened bread, which the Jews call Passover, came round; it is an occasion for the contribution of the multitude of sacrifices, and a ...

Re: Flaw with Marcion priority theory?
However gMark has an *imminent* end of world in his little apocalypse chapter 13. This, in my opinion, is a literary creation written around Alexander Jannaeus. Mark 13: [14] "But when you see the desolating sacrilege set up where it ought not to be (let the reader understand), then let those ...

Re: Personification of Group Dynamics: Mishmarot Problem or Christian?
...And I have asked you to verify that Bilgah and Immer served Passover and Feast week of 4 BCE and 9 CE and you have refused to lift even pencil and paper to verify that this might be true.
So, go on down that Dead-End Path of yours. Just leave me out of it.

1. MrMacSon -- Your comment deserves a follow-up and I left a few days open to see if anyone would comment. More to follow. 2.

Personification of Group Dynamics: Mishmarot Problem or Christian?
Hello Everyone -- John 1: 14 - 15 (RSV, Emph. added): [14] And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father. [15] (John bore witness to him, and cried, "This was he of whom I said, ` He who comes after me r...

Re: Earlier dating of Revelation
One problem here is what might be termed "Compound Dating": Revelation 8: 1 (RSV): [1] When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. Within the Story of Revelation this Fragment appears. Does it refer to something in "Our" Histories? W...

Re: The only begotten from the Father
Britannicus was the only begotten son of Claudius - Nero was the adopted son. By way the beautiful Messalina, of which: Acts 5: 9 (In Part): "Hark, the feet of those that have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out." Which appears to come from: Tacitus, Annals, Bo...

Re: Forget the Myth of Jesus
The question was "Why should anyone believe Acts? As I used to say with some frequency, "From the Fact the 'Jesus Stories' were written from 'Source Stories', it does not follow that the 'Source Stories' were about 'Jesus'". If you want to believe that "Jesus" took the Holy...

Re: What is the earliest evidence that Nazareth was called Nazareth?
If there is a plausible alternate site for Nazareth, I'm not aware of it, despite considerable time in the area during digs at Sepphoris. Leibner, in Settlements in Galilee... examines Lists of Cities found in the Monumental Synagogues of Galilee and finds no listing for Sepphoris, implying that th...
