Though I am not currently accepting homework assignments from Mr. Godfrey, You are the first person on this forum I have encountered who has objected to providing evidence for his criticisms on the grounds that the enquirer is imposing a "homework assignment". Oh dear. Don't forget about ...

What denomination of Hebrew didn't think that ish here was a second god of Israel or an angel? iysh = man. You need to get over it and move on. Perhaps the better question would be, When did the Hebrews settle on a montheistic God, i.e. YHWH? :scratch: Here are just a few generic names for God in t...

Please do. While your at it, how about providing a link to the works of Marcion. I don't want to pu...

I'm sorry but my mother in law isn't doing well. Can we move on and acknowledge that Tertullian's characterization of Marcion's 'Man' as a phantasma might be related to Josephus's characterization of the 'Man' in Genesis as a phantasma? If not why not? Sorry to hear that. Don 't let me take time aw...

The Man who Jacob wrestled with is said by Josephus to have been a "phantasm" (Antiqu. l. 1. c. 20. sect. 2) the same word Tertullian puts in the mouth of Marcion. Not a phantasm but an angel. Jacob was left behind; and meeting with an angel he wrestled with him, the angel beginning the s...
