Re: Was Josephus a Christian?

John2, I think I pinpointed the start of the commentary: https://earlywritings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=82345#p82345 SA was also pushing his Shiloh angle as the source of the "ambiguous oracle" mentioned by Josephus. I was quite skeptical myself at first, that the ambiguous oracle referre...

SA,

As I once said of you: “You are out of your mind, SA! Too much learning is driving you insane!”

Re: Jesus' home in Capernaum?

https://biblehub.com/interlinear/mark/2.htm and https://biblehub.com/greek/oiko__3624.htm That phrase "ἐν οἴκῳ ἐστίν" rendered in the interlinear as "in (the)-house he-is" (I added dashes). The noun "house" is in the nominative case, so it doesn't necessarily mean &quo...

Re: Book of Parables

Sometimes it is as simple as not letting oneself get emotionally invested in an interpretation, no matter how well it "fits" our expectations. Make a mental note, stash them in the back of the mind to ruminate. Keep track of the points of evidence (eg, "This manuscript, which is older...

Re: Book of Parables

Hi Guys, I've been looking at the book of Enoch. Is the book of Parables chapters 37-71 missing from DSS? From wiki DSS chapters 2-14, 30-36, 76-93, 106-7. So Parables is a later work? Thanks What intrigues many about it is the fact that the language resembles language about Jesus Christ in the Gos...

Re: Earlier dating of Revelation

I was sure I had summarized the sources of Revelation, per R H Charles, in a post on FRDB, that was not coming up. Finally located a summary on Reddit: (from a 2012 post to Free Ratio Discussion Board that did not come up when I queried Kirby's search engine): Per Robert Henry Charles, (ICC Commenta...

Re: Earlier dating of Revelation

Hello Forum! ... Wondered your opinion of an earlier dating of Revelation, based on the 7 Kings 17:10-11 corresponding to roman emperors. That'd put it as written in 68/69 under Galba and Otho. As opposed to traditional dating 95 ce Domitian. Do you think that's possible? The christology seems unde...

Contra Celsus 1.46 "And there are still preserved among Christians traces of that Holy Spirit which appeared in the form of a dove." Clearly Christ is being passed on to new generations of Christians (= third century) in Origen. I agree with Peter. The title would suggest something about ...
