At the same time, even so, it would still indicate in favor of the ancient period for the composition of this passage in the Ascension of Isaiah. I think this has already been mentioned in this thread but just to clarify. We have a solid terminus ante quem for the long version of chapter 11 of befo...

Hi, Andrew. Do you find an indication in the passage itself that the author is relying on genealogical information rather than inferences from scripture? To me it appears that the logic of the verse may well run from scripture to fact (we know he was a Judahite because we know he is the Christ, and...

Assuming a historical Jesus, wouldn't his tribal status (as a Judahite) be one of the most well known things about him ? Much more well known than his possible descent from David. In the same sense that Paul's status as a Benjaminite is important to his Jewish identity, so would Jesus' status as par...

The Armenian is not extant for 3.10 but it doesn't seem to be extant for the relevant part of 3.16. There is an Armenian fragment for 3.16 which reads but we kn...

After discovering some more discussions online which seem to assume that the mention of the gate in Hebrews 13.12 stands out as odd or different somehow from the Israelite encampment and sacrificial protocols of the surrounding verses (some such assumptions even being made by mythicists keen to rem...

Can you show contradiction/opposition in this sense to someone without believing/acknowledging their existence ?

If not, the passage implies that there were sinful people who disagreed with Christ but recognised him as a real being.
