Re: 'When Did Jesus Live?'

When did Jesus live ? Its really a nonsense question is it not? Historical evidence that Jesus existed needs to be provided (Jesus understood as some version or variation of the gospel Jesus) then, and only then, can one attempt to investigate a time frame for his life. Methinks Jesus historicists ...

Re: Romans 9:5 - God blessed for ever

I tried but could not find it. Please show me your example of Chrestos for Romans 9:5. Thank you in advance. :popcorn: You really are an idiot! :wtf: Take pity on this idiot and impart your superior wisdom on the Nomina sacra. But then again, perhaps you didn't grasp the sarcasm, which would make y...

Re: 'When Did Jesus Live?'

More generally, what are the theories about when Jesus lived and/or died, and who (if anyone) was responsible for his death? (For the sake of the exercise, I mean a life and death on earth) GA Wells has Paul's Jesus dying in the remote past, though not identifying who was responsible IIRC. Maryhele...

Re: Romans 9:5 - God blessed for ever

"such linguistic usages is not attested in Greek" Based on what very little Greek knowledge I have: Paul did not write with punctuation/comma marks. In Greek, it is the case ending, not the word order that indicates the function of a word. Both Christos (Christ) and theos (God) are noun, ...

Re: Christus/Chrestus in the Original Texts

^ I think it's time to face it. It is Xrestos/XRC/XC without a doubt. But at least we've done the work and shown that it's not just opinion. :cheers: Now I'd like to get a handle on the Kurios/Despotes issue. :) You can go by the NHL indices like I have? It'll take you a weekend at most, and you'll...

Re: historian of early Christianity

Robert Benchley (in 1920, historywise): "There may be said to be two classes of people in the world; those who constantly divide the people of the world into two classes, and those who do not." Actually, there are 10 types of people. Those who understand binary and those that do not. :che...
