Re: Matthean posteriority: Mark's "Mary mother of Joses" vs "Mary mother of the James"

Well I think pretty clear the writer of Mark considered James Zebedee to be James the pillar. The three pillars are James, John and Peter... I know that is a widely held view (going back to Augustine's commentary on Galatians), but I have come to an alternative view. As I read Mark, the author knew...

Messianic Signs

Gospel accounts of phenomena were — as the case may be — not miracles, but deeds accomplished through natural processes. The phenomena as such were demonstrations of forces of nature, powers of which are to be borne out in discoveries by later generations. The given criteria is in line with the mess...

Re: Was "James the Lord's brother" Paul's thorn?

'James son of Zebedee was always identified in relation to his brother, John.' Not so. Superscriptions to the book of the Catholic Epistle of James has early editions initiated in the Syriac, Latin, Greek, Arabic,Coptic etc, identifying incontrovertibly the authorship to James son of Zebedee, the J...

Only one Mary is with Mary Magdalene observing where Jesus was laid, as depicted with, 'Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of Joses, were beholding where he was put',[Mark 15:47] and as depicted with, 'But Mary of Magdala was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the sepulchre',[Matthew 27:61].' Wh...

Re: Was "James the Lord's brother" Paul's thorn?

My reading of John reflects my prior reading of the Jameses of Mark and Galatians: Mark 15:47-16:1 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses (the natural mother of James the less/James the Lord's brother and of Jesus) saw where he was laid. When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the moth...

Re: What is the correct date for Jesus last supper/passover?

If you want a 'correct' answer, why do you seek an answer according to your 'best' calculation. I am trying to rule out/in my best 'calculation' with mathematical certainty. I don't have the astronomical/mathematical skills to convert the days of the week with the Creator's Calendar for 14th Abib, ...

Re: What is the correct date for Jesus last supper/passover?

What is the best date for the Passover/Last Supper of Jesus? Your thread asks, 'What is the correct date for Jesus last supper/passover?' Why mince matters by asking, 'What is the best date for the Passover/Last Supper of Jesus?' I'm not sure what you are getting at. If you want a 'correct' answer,...
