Re: Ignatz: Krazy Kat or Krazy editors?

...While I have noticed the strange "anti-Judean" language of the gospel, I have generally attributed it to a backlash against Jews for the recently failed rebellions in Judea/Galilee and a generation after that in Egypt. If the gospel is from Egypt (e.g., the use of Philo's unique Logos ...

Re: "I Follow Cephas. I follow Apollos. I follow Christ. "

Does 1 Corinthians 12 point to a time when Jesus/Christ was amongst a panoply of saviour figures offered by the early Church? 12 What I mean is this: One of you says, “I follow Paul”; another, “I follow Apollos”; another, “I follow Cephas”; still another, “I follow Christ.” If all that survived of ...

Re: "I Follow Cephas. I follow Apollos. I follow Christ. "

There may have been a panoply of saviour figures prior to or concurrently outside "the early church". This sums it up well (as part of a summary & commentary on Richard Carrier's book ' OHJ '). Note the reference to henotheism - "... Christianity fit right in to the trend of other...
