ThankQ! Oh, I think it's even more than that. The multiple anachronisms of GMark securely date it to well after the destruction of the Temple. By that time I have faith that Peter is being promoted by some as a martyr. In addition to the original Gospel narrative predicting that Peter would finally...

You say you read Hatina's article and you accept his argument that 9:1 is a negative (in part) and a threat and that 9:1 is the end of the pericope at the end of Chapter 8: Mark 8 … 38 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of man also...

I have read the first Chapter and it seems that the direction of the book would be just to deny the classical idea that "Jesus followers *believed* that they saw the resurrected Jesus". At contrary, they knew these appearance stories were fiction. Even Paul (if the author of 1 Cor 15). I'...

Why Luke does Jesus go to his hometown before any other place, as the FIRST destination of his public ministere? All that emphasis on Nazareth, his hometown, as the starting point of jesuan preaching betrays so too obvious that Luke was reacting to an opposite previous tradition that on the contrar...

The last thing I would want to do, Michael, Is defend our "outhouse" from the charge of generally blowing off his competition by cavalier trumpetings of what he "knows" to be true based on his readings into the sociology and archaeology of ancient Palestine. Yes, he is guilty as...

v1: Price argues (2003) that this verse indicates a much later period when most of the disciples had died. While that is reasonable, there is no reason that Jesus could not have uttered this during his own life time. v1: the chiastic structure of the previous pericope indicates that Mark 9:1 does n...

I am confirmed in my suspicions already reading today the first chapter of Miller's recent book on Christ's Resurrection. The figure of the fool Christian apologist who insists that the resurrection is historical, basing on the historical Gospels, never existed in the ancient world. It's all modern...

And knowing early on they were hunted down possibly being seen as a threat to the temple, they kept their practice on the down low. And what evidence do you have for this and is it reliable? Because our best witnesses to history of this period says he hunted them down. Its not disputed with any cre...

Howard notes that the divorce issue (like the issue of swearing) is pro-Torah in the Shem Tov Hebrew Matthew: https://books.google.com/books?id=4tdEBdVXg3AC&pg=PA213&lpg=PA213&dq=vain+swearing+jesus+hebrew+matthew+howard&source=bl&ots=QDzB3ZNlpo&sig=Bfr1x79F8o6j-Cnw_7389KHEY...

My problem was the translation of 1 Clement I was using. Lightfoot’s translation has: “1Clem 23:2 Therefore let us not be double-minded, neither let our soul indulge in idle humors respecting His exceeding and glorious gifts. “1Clem 23:3 Let this scripture be far from us where He saith Wretched are ...
