Re: Does ransom theory indicate Jesus was heavenly?
One frequently co-occuring component of the ransom myth is that the Son of God was killed without awareness of his true identity, which does fit quite nicely into the idea of appearing as a man among men. wrong. In the Ascension of Isaiah the passwords given through the lower heavens are designed t...

But what do I know? I've only seen images of all nine.

The image shown above (seen on the right below) looks less crazy when it isn't blown up so much & the pixels can blend. https://earlywritings.com/forum/download/file.php?id=2643 Previously: "The low-res image is *really* low res. You can see the giant pixels." Giant pixels are not so g...

Re: γυμνὸς or γυμνοὶ in Clement's Letter to Theodore?
It's a good thing that we aren't stuck with only these particular digital images and trying to 'reconstruct the original color of those blue pixels' through speculation. We aren't even stuck with digital images, if you get a copy of The Fourth R . Going back to analog or to the lower-resolution digi...

Re: Do all Roads Lead to Eusebius: Antiquities 20.200
Would you happen to have a publicly available git repo of your notes or bibliography list? Would you be interested in starting one?

Re: γυμνὸς or γυμνοὶ in Clement's Letter to Theodore?
If there's something specific you're seeing here, you haven't explained. Hmmm...I've got to get better at remembering not to forget to put down what I'm thinking.... Well, as I understand it, the ambiguity is in determining whether the word ends in -αι or in -ας. The leftmost picture turns all of t...

Forget about what he said, remember what I said :-) the blue rectangles are covering up exactly the pixels we need to decide this case. To illustrate, i've put the original clip next to (on the left) a copy where the blue pixels are replaced by the background color, and on the right, a copy where t...
