Re: The Propaganda War Against Mythicism [Vridar]
A) A docetic Jesus, such as Marcion's, still is a Jesus who appears on earth in the appearance of a real earthly man, except that his flesh was not human, and not even considered "flesh". B) Which Docetists or Heretics in ancient times can be proven to state Jesus never came (and lived) on...

Re: Ethnarch of King Aretas? the legendary Damascus basket c
to jiri,
Cordially, Bernard
That's what I meant to say. I should have checked on how to use "substitute". Excuse my French, but you are right.Actually, the interpolator would be substituting the ethnarch of Aretas for the Jews, not the other way around.

Re: Ethnarch of King Aretas? the legendary Damascus basket c
Besides the caravan route north went straight through the territory of Philip the Tetrarch (Batanea, Auranitis, Trachonitis, Ituria (of Zenodorus), AJ 17.319).

Re: Ethnarch of King Aretas? the legendary Damascus basket c
2 Cor 11:32 simply doesn't say any such thing. The only people who talk about Aretas IV are modern day pundits who make things up. 2 Cor 11:32 does not say this Aretas is #IV. Sure. But if you contend 2 Cor 11:32 is not an interpolation and that king is actually Aretas III, you have a huge problem ...
