spin: "....See the issue?" I guess not. I do not see that this proves that Josephus cannot have mentioned Jesus here, after all, following "outrage" involving Pilate. And before an account not involving Pilate. So you have avoided the issue. Typical. Do you grasp how grammatical...

Yes, spin, I think that you did "...miss something that was relevant to our discussion of the hypothetical interpolator of the TF and your question that begs an unfalsifiable answer?" First, let me put aside the question of whether or not my OP title was vague or inappropriate or indelica...

Even if I erred greatly by mentioning Eusebius (gasp), and even if I refrain, for now, from discussing Karl Popper in relation to history research, I note that you didn't comment or spin on, not that you are obliged to: "If Josephus in Antiquities mentioned John Baptist and James brother of Je...

Who has done the textual analysis that gives *Ev priority?? Matthias Klinghardt. OK, cite the work that does the actual analysis. I think you are kidding yourself. (Certainly not: "The Marcionite Gospel and the Synoptic Problem: A New Suggestion ". Besides a pretty diagram here, nothing: ...
