SA- I walk in Peace today 'cos I really would like to read your opinion on this: 1. Marcion is born in The Pontus, 15 years after Mucianus taxed the taxes of the taxed and took the "best Liburnian ships" with which to March on Rome. This left a vacuum which was filled by Anicetus, who set ...

Mark 15: 39 (RSV): [39] And when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that he thus breathed his last, he said, "Truly this man was the Son of God!" The End. Outhouse: Y/N/M? N Fiction, but not the end. Knowing it is a compilation makes It hard to rush into redaction or interpolation. ...

Paul is not (necessarily) saying that no one has ever been raised from the dead before; he is saying that no one had ever been raised to eternal life (an incorruptible body) before (= the "general resurrection"). Ben- Kinda' sounds like all of this was supposed to be Pre-Destinated, huh? ...

My true problem is the absence of Joseph of Nazaret in Mark 6:3. Perhaps a Symbolic Review is in order. What would you see as the reason for the wording of this passage? Consider: "What mighty works are wrought by his hands !" "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own countr...

Coupla' thoughts: 1. Joseph Arimathea => Joseph bar Matthias. From Atwill. A possibility for further research. 2. Before jumping off into Homerville, look at other "Salome" characters first, esp. "Queen Salome" (NOT Salome Alexandra), who was married to Jannaeus. 3. If J of A too...

'N don't forget The Worldwide Church of God. Herbert W. Armstrong and Garner Ted Armstrong. "Wellll, GREETINGS friends...This is Herbert W. Armstrong with the GOOD News of the World Tomorrow..." Wow. You would hang on every word as long as the reception was good on your AM radio. Anyone kn...

That Mucianus fellow was a very busy...ummm...man, so to speak.
