Re: Dura Europos

I am not understanding. So you're saying that if there's no line it's not Christian? That's patently false. In the course of figuring out the Mar Saba letter I've really researched the limits of abbreviations. (all that follows is for actual researchers not jack offs like Pete the mountainman). 1. ...

Re: Calling Jesus "Yehoshua"

Looking up the two passages given by the OP, in Sinaiticus, I find that the abbreviations IC and IY are being used. Does anyone know what the earliest copies of Acts 7:45 and Hebrews 4:8 are? I would like to see how the name is rendered in them. Thanks Lane https://apps.lib.umich.edu/reading/Paul/n...

Re: here are comments NG deleted from his blog

I don’t believe you [Neil] have read Plato and the Creation of the Hebrew Bible in which many of these issues were extensively discussed." Stephen, I said I was done with this thread and I am. However, I still read them and you piqued my interest once again. Perhaps you would be so kind as to ...

Re: If Discussing Early Christianity Were a Sport What Would the Rules Be?

2. Rules governing discussions of the dating of Jesus (a) there was no consensus in antiquity as to when Jesus lived if he "lived" in the ordinary sense of the word, if he was born or flew down from heaven, what year(s) the gospel was set. It's quite incredible. Pilate? But Pilate was ima...

Re: Possible the original Pauline letters never mentioned Jesus?

Also, Neil brings up an interesting point. How much time needs to elapse to make it so that the original meaning in Paul's letters is no longer know to the reader? 20-50? Longer? If so, how much longer?

Re: Possible the original Pauline letters never mentioned Jesus?

You're assuming that Simonians interpreted Isaiah the same way Jews did. I'm not so sure about that. There would need to be some evidence as to how they interpreted it. On a different note. I know that the use of codes, secret words, and hidden messages was common in religious literature at the tim...

Re: Possible the original Pauline letters never mentioned Jesus?

Threads like this are why I no longer desire to come here any more. There's no Jesus in the early texts. Period. Just declensions of I and IH. Further, all we have are texts that use IC etc so speculation as to there being texts that lack it is just useless jacking off. We will never get anywhere un...

Re: A strong argument against the authenticity of Galatians

It seems to me that Galatians has been been revised multiple times, and that parts of Galatians precede Acts, while other parts were written after Acts. I think Acts and canonical Luke were produced in the mid second century. The Marcionite version of Galatians certainly precedes that. Acts was pro...
