Re: dating the gospels?
What the Pauline writer did was far worse than just pretend. The writer lied about his source and fabricated events. The false claims of revelation from the resurrected Jesus by the Epistle writers mean that his Gospel was from a human source like Justin's First Apology, the Memoirs of the Apostles...

Re: The conclusion I've reached...
I read what you wrote and it still doesn't make sense. You assume the Synoptics were written around c 71-90 CE because NT Jesus would not be known as a false prophet until a generation had passed. NO, I did not come up with these dates because NT Jesus would not be known as a false prophet until a ...

Re: Interpreting Philippians 2:5-11
Nothing to do with teachings, miracles or anything like that. Just an obedient life, like a servant, to demonstrate his worthiness to be resurrected from the death. Epistles do not typically contain the life story of NT Jesus. There are no miracles in all the Epistles including James, 1 and 2 Peter...

Re: The conclusion I've reached...
What you say doesn't make sense. It doesn't add up. If Jesus lived and actually stated at around c 30 CE "But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God" then by c 150 CE he would be known as a very false prophet an...

Re: dating the gospels?
The Pauline writers got no Gospel from God-- No such character exists. And further, the Pauline writers got no Gospel from the Lord Jesus Christ if he was already dead. Paul just pretended his gospel came from God and Jesus. How: by revelations from God and the resurrected Jesus in heaven. Anyway t...

Re: dating the birth stories?
to hakeem, Here is something I wanted to answer, but I missed: And why would Tacitus be interested in Christus? Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilatus, and a most mischievous supe...

Re: The conclusion I've reached...
But, wouldn't someone still say Jesus that was a very false prophet and a big liar when the Kingdom of God was not seen up to 150 CE? But certainly not Christians, such as the authors of gMark, gLuke & gMatthew, who must have written Mk 9:1 and repeat in gLuke & gMatthew during the 1st cent...

Re: The conclusion I've reached...
Matthew, Luke and John are all anti-Marcionite works written in the mid-second century. That's too late because: Because about 150, gMark, which places Jesus' public life under Pilate's rule (26-36 CE) (also as the other gospels): 9:1 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some...

Re: dating the birth stories?
Jesus, son of Damneus, is not "called Christ" by Josephus. Jesus of Nazareth is not called Christ in Josephus. ...That Jesus was anointed when he became high priest. OK. But if there was a reference to that, then that Jesus would be Jesus Christ, or Christ Jesus, but not " called Chr...

Re: dating the gospels?
to hakeem, The Gospel must first be known to those who have converted. Check the writings of Paul. You will find the gospel (good news) is Paul's message which he claimed being from of God or Christ or himself or even the Scripture (to Abraham). Absolutely no evidence Paul knew about gospels such a...
