Re: The Legend of James the Just and His Martyrdom
Going back to Hegesippus' Hebrew or Aramaic skills, the Hebrew word that Eusebius claims Hegesippus paraphrased as " Oblias " (ὠβλίας), would appear to be the Hebrew verb " יָבַל " ( yabal ) to bring, carry, lead, conduct. The Greek word I'd expect would be ὁδηγήσει ( hodegesei )...

Re: Gospel priority
Ken, I'm afraid I will have to decline to continue this discussion. ... The intensity level of posts about Synoptic Problem, especially Q, is why I have never liked the tenor of Synoptic studies. PS: Ken, I will be reading up on the Synoptic Problem from the books you recommended, if only for my ow...

Re: Gospel priority
Ken, I'm afraid I will have to decline to continue this discussion. Not sure I agree with the direction the board seems to be going (more angry replies and all that goes with that). I have noticed that you have recently soured in your opinion of me, and maybe pressed one of your buttons. I guess I a...

Re: Flaw with Marcion priority theory?
Here is another rub to the question of priority: from what point of the sediment are we starting from for our excavation? ... For convenience sake, here is my headcanon: *first layer, 115ad-130ad, Marcionism 0.1: belief in a mystical translation into the body of the chrestus: only Pauline letters u...

Re: Gospel priority
David, here is one reason I am wary of some assumptions made here: "... SG, you and I have different political POVs re state of Israel...." by DCHindley Tue Feb 27, 2024 4:12 am in the thread "Should we rename...." I appreciate many of your posts as helpful, but, as far as I can...

Re: Gospel priority
Moving on to your point, I did not address what might have motivated G & G to reject Q so vehemently. They have proposed a means, a very complicated means with several steps, that could explain the development of the synoptic gospels as we have them without Q, when the Q hypothesis is a much mo...
