Re: Thoughts on Maurice Casey's new book

Jesus would have prayed in the style of his culture and with the passion of the departing. Part of his prayer would have been easily heard by his tired companions before falling sleep.

Re: Feasible Synoptic Solutions

It is a pleasure for me.

Why bother? It would seem that you want criticism of your work from strangers and I thought that his “weakness” should provide a knowledgeable criticism.

Just a passing thought, think nothing of it.

Re: Feasible Synoptic Solutions

Feasible Synoptic Solutions This method can presumably similarly explain Triple Tradition anomalies. I suppose the big objection is that its flexibility makes it non-falsifiable. http://earlywritings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=222&start=40#p4345 My above comment from Dec. 23 may explain ...

Re: Thoughts on Maurice Casey's new book

Blogger ‘Someone’, has now become an honorific title, like: ‘Cardinal Someone’. Blog, however, reminds of bog and bug. Some graffiti show these words to be closely related as in: bugging in the bog with a blogger by my side. I much prefer the original lovely Scottish song: Roaming in the gloaming, w...

Re: Finding Jesus (= אישו) at the Beginning of Genesis

The snake knew Eve was not a “disembodied intellect” and sadly Hashem had forgotten to create a female serpent for the lusting reptile. Adam also knew the truth about Eve when he saw her. Only the wise fail to understand the nature of Eve as they burden their anaemic brains with images of the unknow...

Why Judaism should complain about any Christian interpretation of the bible is a mystery to me. The sceptics come in all forms and sizes. Genesis 1:26 26. ...

Re: Markus Vinzent on 'Marcion the Jew'

'rediscovery' of Jesus the Jew coincided with 'guilt' ... over the Holocaust. This book was published in London in 1912 second edition (first edition in 1905, I think). The author says that Jesus was a Jew that argued with men of his own race , who apparently were expecting someone to rescue them f...
