Re: The impact of Marcion...

Bernard Muller makes a strong case that the Gospel of Luke was written by a woman. Stephan Huller makes a strong case that Marcion was actually Marcelina. The Marcionites are presumed to have used a proto-Luke. From this might a case be made whereby Marcelina was likely the author of the earliest la...

Re: Lee Harmon's solution about the enigma of John of Patmos in Clement

The Jewish Encyclopedia states that John of Gischala most likely died in a Roman Prison. No indication of his being released.

Re: What was the original logic behind Jesus's death?

As in this story, the dead who are raised are ancient Israelites. I think Joshua was also an ancient figure, a figure of dry bones, whose breath of life was put back into him by the Lord, showing that now was the time that had spoken and announced the Final Judgement. Might Revelation 13:8 find rel...

Re: What Are the Arguments for κύριος being 'the Name Above All Names' (Phil 2:9)

I am thinking that Jesus’ other name was a secret one; one known to the people who interpolated the Philippians hymn into Paul’s letters. Unfortunately I can’t spell that name out, for that would get me evicted as being ignorant of the mysteries. Perhaps the various of Nomina sacra point more to th...

Re: Evidence Christianity started as mythicist

Is it possible that rather than moving to Tarsus, Paul's family moved south to Taurus in Judea? It is right next to Jericho.

Will he be publishing a revision of his 2014 restoration of the Gospel of John? Will it require the reader to understand Koine?

Re: The Immortal Key

Sounds like early DSS translator John Allegro's 1970 published book titled "The Sacred Mushroom & the Cross, Fertility Cults and the Origins of Judaism and Christianity".

Re: Jesus' eyewitnesses never becoming Christians

Either way, my suspicion is that the crucifixion once served as the end of the gospel story. Might that be intended as a contrived means whereby to bring a budding movement with potential negative ramifications for Rome to a close? To "nip it in the bud" by "burying it", so to s...
