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...

Re: Unrecognized Transmigration Concepts in Origen
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 ...
