All the more reason to think it was an interpolation. Jesus wouldn't have been called "Christ" in his lifetime anyway. The whole title of Christos is anachronistic to the life of Jesus. The Septuagint says χριστοῦ ( Christou ) in 9:25 and in 9:26, it's χρῖσμα ( chrisma ), which seems gramm...

(Galatians 1:15-16) But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me, even from my mother's womb, and called me through his grace, 16 to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles. (Galatians 1:20) I am crucified with Christ : nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Chris...

Matthew 6:10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven . You don't have to go poking around in obscure texts like the Ascension of Isaiah to find this... I've noticed this for a long time as well. It also includes the corresponding "forgiveness" lines ("forgiv...

Transliterated from Greek letters into Latin/English letters.

Cheers. That's what I wanted to clarify/solidify The TF?? (ie. Antiquities 18.3.3 )?? .... This is Antiquities 20.9.1 Yes. I'm saying the "Jesus called Christ" thing can't be a callback to the Testimonium . Josephus doesnt usually just throw out name like that without explaining who it is...

It's transliterated Greek "Called" (or "so-called") and "said to be" would both be fine. I don't see what the problem is. It couldn't be a reference to the TF even if it's partially authentic because the "Christos" line in the TF is the one that is most certai...

I have the book, but have only read a couple chapters of it. That's basically the thesis of Finkelstein and Silberman in David and Solomon , though. They say David was a southern warlord who filled a power vacuum after the Assyrian conquest of the North and the death of Saul (whether as a literal fi...

I didn't say James was a legend, I said his martyrdom is a legend and the passage in Josephus is almost certainly about James and Jesus ben Damneus, not the James of the New Testament. Jesus ben Damneus, who Josephus mentions in the next breath, was literally a "Jesus called Christ" as we...

Carrier has been exposed as a crank exegesis John T John T, you keep saying this. You may want to learn the difference between "exegesis" and "exegete." Carrier is a crank exegetist . Did I get the spelling right that time or is " eisegetist " a better word for Carrier...
