Re: 1715 Clement edition
Thank you, Adam. As to the suggestion that MS intended to publish that 1958 "Manufactured" document, which was never published in that form till his death, nor now, according to its Preface, it was to prevent others from publishing. Now you're actually getting somewhere. Why would he have...

Re: Every time Paul mentions Mark, he also mentions Luke
And "Everytime you hear a bell ring, an angel is getting its wings." There are a passage or two in the Clementine Homilies where "Peter" explains how his crowd can accurately identify corrupting additions, which "Simon" had used in the arguments put into his mouth. It w...

Re: Who's death Jos. blamed for city's destruction
There is a relation to the NT: Matthew 23:35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias , whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. Interesting post. Btw, I saw this on Wikipedia : The Gospel...

Re: Revisiting Philo's Therapeutae and their Context/Timeline
I found your 2021 post describing your beliefs about Philo, and the influence of Hermetic literature on him: https://earlywritings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=123894#p123894 I'll look it over, as you cited numerous source and secondary literature. FWIW, and this is before I have had a chance to read y...

Re: The Catamites of Tiberius?
I shall go and open my veins in a hot bath ... Or not. I will say that I do not buy into the mystical beliefs projected by romantic moderns, scholars or not, into Philo's work. Show me such an overarching symbolic understanding of human psychology in an Authority on Philo, such as Runia. I am not ta...

Who's death Jos. blamed for city's destruction
It was not "James the just." It was Ananus, the former HP, who was the highest ranking aristocratic priest in charge of civil government at this time (about 66 CE). Since it came up in another thread, I would propose this segment of text (which contains a doublet even), and the speech that...

Re: John the Baptist, redivivus of a 2015 article
Peter Kirby—I have not followed all the discussions on the Ant 20 James passage but I wonder if the following explanation could be a possibility on the table. Assume Hegesippus draws from Papias on the real tradition of James the Just’s death actually occurring during the Revolt. ... Side comment t...

Re: The Catamites of Tiberius?
What about Ant 18, 289+? [289] But king Agrippa, who now lived at Rome, was more and more in the favor of Caius; and when he had once made him a supper, and was careful to exceed all others, both in expenses and in such preparations as might contribute most to his pleasure; nay, it [Agrippa's abilit...

Re: How should the “rollercoaster” phrase in Romans 10:6-8 be understood?
Unfortunately I cannot help with the ascent and descent of Jesus as christ-savior. This particular section you cited is part of materials I have attributed to a later editor to an original letter of Paul, who added his own commentary. The original Paul did not know anything about Jesus, but relied o...

Re: The Catamites of Tiberius?
I was referring to "Alexander the Alabarch" of Alexandria, which I had always thought to be a representative for the Judeans of the city. The Wikipedia entry for him says that his was a custom's position, and he was very wealthy. He apparently had connections in common with Hasmonean as we...
