Re: On the link between Capernaum and John the Baptist
So dr. Carrier The first recorded myth of a crucified and resurrected deity, that of the Sumerian goddess Innana, relates that after her naked, murdered corpse is nailed up, her minions come to feed her the food and water of life and she is raised back to life “after three days.” (my bold) In the E...

Re: Why Golgotha? Because of רֹאשׁ
I Chronicle 10:8-10 And it happened that on the next day when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa. And they stripped him and took his head and his weapons, and they sent them throughout the land of the Philistines to bring news to their idols a...

Re: Transfiguration == original crucifixion in the Earliest Gospel
Klewis, read well the quote: I don't refer to you as "your stupid apologist". Nasruddin, you have not proved that Jesus has a personality in John. Are you able to describe your point without too much quotes? It seems that you are unable even to do so. I am sure that even your stupid apolo...

Re: Transfiguration == original crucifixion in the Earliest Gospel
But as to his testimony -it should be of note that the words "testify" and "testimony" appear in the Gospel of John 32 times - and in the three Synoptic Gospels only 18 times. In the Synoptic Gospels it is a generic term, usually used negatively. In John it is used as positive p...

Nasruddin, you have not proved that Jesus has a personality in John. Are you able to describe your point without too much quotes? It seems that you are unable even to do so. I am sure that even your stupid apologist here doesn't realize your point because you have not explained it well. Seriously??...

Re: Transfiguration == original crucifixion in the Earliest Gospel
It is of note that the prologue to the Gospel of John contains; There was a man sent from God whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe....John testified concerning him. He cried out, saying, This is the one I spoke about when I...

Re: Transfiguration == original crucifixion in the Earliest Gospel
Completely irrelevant to addressing the discussion in the preceding few posts. You exhibit a gross lack of ability to process another view-point, and so you ignore it to safe guard your own. If all you want to do is discuss with yourself your own contemplations, placing your thoughts on a public dis...

Re: Transfiguration == original crucifixion in the Earliest Gospel
Does not your view assume that the theology of the evangelist was going to be constructed in progress by himself, while he writes? I don't believe. The text is so much theological from first to last verse, that it can only explain a theology already formed. The readers knew in advance that their Fo...

Re: Transfiguration == original crucifixion in the Earliest Gospel
Love, weeping, deeply moved, distressed, avoiding embarrassment - you see these as non-human emotions and a lack of personality???? in the case of the Gospels, and especially of that Gospel, it doesn't seem a surprising thing to be said. I wonder about the your surprise, at contrary. The Fourth-Gos...
