Re: The book of Revelation and the Egyptian Book of the Dead.

Bernard, Your footer says, "I believe freedom of expression should not be curtailed", yet every post in this thread has been that your work is proof and my work sucks and not worth reading. So there is nothing more I can talk about. I provided the first chapter of my book on another post, ...

Re: Mark 15:10: Pilate knew that Jesus was accused "for a murder"

That is a great connection that I did not think of, and in my mind that is substantial sway in the form of solid evidence.

Thank you, I learned something new today.

Re: Mark 15:10: Pilate knew that Jesus was accused "for a murder"

Yes, my last post was off topic. I looked at this source of critical text: http://www.willker.de/wie/TCG/TC-Mark.pdf And did not see a manuscript that had that rendering. Unfortunately, Mark manuscripts don't show up until the 300 CE so if there was a change there would not be a way to find out. The...

Re: Mark 15:10: Pilate knew that Jesus was accused "for a murder"

In the Loeb Classical Library for the phrase found in Philo, it is translated as envy.

Re: How John Wrote the Book of Revelation Chapter 1

In case anyone wants to see what an approximation draft looks like: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18Ew9oMSCWBirMFtOhibn0o7wfe7PQgcp/view?usp=sharing This is how Revelation chapter 18 and 19 started with from the first draft that John wrote (see chapter 1, page 6, EP7 & IP7) in the original pos...

Revelation Special Notation

I hope the forum don't mind me posting this and others like this. I just found it exciting when I studied Revelation: The book of Revelation uses many Hebrew scriptures as its source. Sometimes, John will split the text up to insert new material. When he does it, John will use a repeating phrase at ...

Re: The book of Revelation and the Egyptian Book of the Dead.

First, I would like to complement you on this finding: The text you blotted out between Rev 1:12 and 4:1 is a good judgment. I also identified it as part of the the first draft in Revelation. I call this an Author's notation, because when John splits the text that he draws upon he repeats a phrase. ...

Rethinking Revelation's Allusions

The Book of Revelation has the most allusions to the Hebrew Scriptures than any other book in the Christian Scriptures. However, I think that the word allusion is the wrong word. I believe we should use Parallel formation because it represents the process that John is implementing when he is writing...

Re: The book of Revelation and the Egyptian Book of the Dead.

Yes, I have read both of those web pages. The foundation of what you said in your post and what you say in the web pages hinges around the concept that the text is Jewish and therefore we can throw out the Christian elements. The problem with the approach is that at the time of John's writing there ...
