Re: minor spellings aside, any proposed cult of "Jesus the Good" evidence?

Okay I read LC's latest reply again. This is in the OP: A proposal, based largely on false dating of Coptic Thomas impossibly early--that is, before Coptic is ever attested--leave the question whether there is evidence at all of two separate and uni-directional-sequenced and both "misunderstoo...

Re: minor spellings aside, any proposed cult of "Jesus the Good" evidence?

The spellings offered are minor. A proposal, based largely on false dating of Coptic Thomas impossibly early--that is, before Coptic is ever attested-- Why do you insist on misrepresenting novel proposals in the field? The basis of the proposed cult of "Jesus the Good" is firmly and secur...

Re: minor spellings aside, any proposed cult of "Jesus the Good" evidence?

Do whatever you want show me evidence if any for a ""Jesus the Good" --prior-- religion. Is there evidence if we drop the word "prior" here ... No primary evidence has been adduced for anything "Christian" prior to the 3rd century and even then it is surprisingly ...
