.

kind of hard to come to that conclusion when crucifixion or cross isn't even mentioned in that book.

And Jesus said, they neither marry nor are given in marriage but are like the angels in heaven, and they wear clothes.

lol, so does resurrected Jesus appear to everyone naked? If not, are they spiritual clothes?

Thanks for linking that, it fell off my radar, will reread

Any relationship to the rarity of the cross in early christian art, yet its ubiquitous in the chi-rho and tau-rho in early texts per Hurtado? Does this point to the crucifixion being a mystery? Did the other xtians oppose him because he preached it openly?

The neo-platonic philosopher Origen or the Cybeleian priest/initiate, or the Christian Origen?

Someone more skeptical than MountainMan?
