Re: Cold Case Christianity

You're OK with GJohn dated before 70 AD? You admit that aposynagogos proves nothing? The theology in GJohn is not different from Paul's? You already knew all these things? You subscribe to Journal for the Study of the New Testament? See my new thread, though. You already have the $112 book on Matthe...

Re: Cold Case Christianity

I myself believe . In faith not evidence. Your trying to stick up for a worthless hack with no credentials or credibility. Just because it semi mirrors a few of your conclusions :facepalm: Top scholarship may be turning against you, and you have no defense of your own. Today I studied the 2015 (37(...

Re: Marcion and John the Baptist

"Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?" 62 And Jesus said, "I am ; and you shall see THE SON OF MAN SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF POWER, and COMING WITH THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN." Notice how the above quote from Mark 14:61-62 is almost immediately fulfilled by the ending of ...

Re: Marcion and John the Baptist

Strange how no one else (Mattthew 28, Luke 24 nor Acts 1, nor John 21, not to mention Mark 16:9-20) picked up on "sitting on the right hand of God", so popular later in the Creed!
People believe what they want to believe--or disbelieve. There is no such thing as free will.

Re: Marcion and John the Baptist

1. why isn't it possible that Mark was edited from a longer (secret) gospel - the canonical gospel which already demonstrates itself to have been trimmed down. And it is not just Morton Smith's discovery. Irenaeus knows passages as being in Mark which now do not appear there either. I question the ...

Re: Cold Case Christianity

Clever analogy. However, J. Warner Wallace made an excellent "courtroom" presentation in the movie God's Not Dead 2, ostensibly not tied to Fundamentalism or any other literalism. I don't know yet whether the book is as good as his brief appearance in the movie. I have to admit I'm despera...

Re: Why 2,900 Years From the Expulsion of Adam to Jesus?

Apparently we have two different posters employing the pseudonym "Secret Alias". One happens to answer the other.
