Of particular interest for me: These three usages of the phrase "flesh and blood." BOOK OF 1 Corinthians Chapter 15 The Resurrection of Christ 35 But someone will say, “How are the dead raised? And with what body do they come?” 37 And what you sow is not the body that will be, but you sow ...

I have argued elsewhere that the flow of thought in Galatians is more coherent if there are two Jameses: 1) James "the Lord's brother" (also referred to in the phrase "men from James") and 2) the James of the "esteemed pillars"--"James, Cephas and John." On t...

I that my reading of Gal does not sync well with Acts, but neither does your view of Acts sync well with Galatians, as I read it. So there is no perfect fit. I further admit that your ...

to gryan, He therefore made some concession, as was necessary, for a time; and this was the reason why he had Timothy circumcised In Acts, the Timothy's circumcision occurs before the dispute in Antioch & the council of Jerusalem. That circumcision happened when Paul was travelling with Silas, ...

what about Acts? do you think it's possible to say if the author's church feels threatened by Marcionites?
