Re: Richard Carrier on gMark parallel with Jesus ben Ananias

And Charles, how is it possible that all that you say, all that maryhelena says, all that ghost says could all be true at the same time? It's madness. 1. All nonsense aside, SH, I have enjoyed your work - as you should know from your site. I believe that we are on opposite sides of a dividing line....

Re: Richard Carrier on gMark parallel with Jesus ben Ananias

Yeah, like that Kook that wrote that book on young Marcus Agrippa. He was so sure that he had cracked the thing wide open.
Then, he started calling it his "...silly, little book...".

Yeah. Like that guy.

Re: Richard Carrier on gMark parallel with Jesus ben Ananias

Is this the christian answer to the question where is the temple? You are? This is A Christian answer, but one that was grafted onto the Construction. Consider: John 2: 18 - 22 (RSV): [18] The Jews then said to him, "What sign have you to show us for doing this?" [19] Jesus answered them,...

Re: A New Signs Gospel

Jay Raskin's The Evolution of Christs and Christianities Linkage of Mark and John Jay Raskin's excellent book has an extremely important point to make in discussing both Mark and John. Dr. Raskin finds that there is material that does not make sense in isolation but does make sense if the authors of...

Re: A New Signs Gospel

This is really exciting stuff. It reminds me of amateur astrologers making all sorts of "gee" "wow" "oh man" "that's so true!" discoveries in their horoscopes. Like when you re-read your own stuff, I suppose. Lookit. It's not "Jesus was Titus" , gho...

Re: A New Signs Gospel

Rough proof by alignment for the First Sign being Titus' first battle at Tarichiae: John 2: [1] On the third day there was a marriage at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there; [2] Jesus also was invited to the marriage, with his disciples. [3] When the wine failed, the mother of Jesus s...

Re: Nazareth and the Historicity of Jesus

1. Thanx, PK, for including my Post in this Split-Off-Thread. 2. Do we need to start a Catalogue Thread on "Location Word Plays"? A. "Bethsaida". I believe that it is a short bus trip from the Temple to "Bezetha" => "Beth-Zatha" => "Bethsaida". Titus...

Re: Richard Carrier on gMark parallel with Jesus ben Ananias

The divine Jesus is necessary to explain the success of the movement. The historical Jesus may have existed or not, it doesn't matter much. *Ding*, *Ding*, *Ding*... "We have a winner...Tell'im what he won, Don...". Enter "PAUL" (aka "Mucianus") who argues JUST THAT an...

A New Signs Gospel

There are those who accept that there is a Signs Gospel in John. I agree. I believe that there IS a Signs Gospel as well but it is for a different end. When applied and this different end is seen, the Signs Gospel takes on a new meaning that explains a great amount of material in the NT. 1. Jay Rask...
