Re: The Pauline Gospel was a Late Invention
If Antiquities of the Jews 20.9.1 was interpolated with the words "called the ANOINTED" [called the christ] then it can easily be seen that Jesus the brother of James was most likely the son of Damneus. You don't talk of someone by their full familial name as a secondary reference . It's ...

Re: The Pauline Gospel was a Late Invention
The use of 'christ' does not appear in the Greek of Josephus outside of these two references in Ant. 20.9.1 and Ant. 18.3.3 (both probably spurious). Josephus nowhere else chooses to use such language to refer to the appointing of a high priest (or, indeed, at all). I've tried to sell this fact for...

Pompey's arrival in Jerusalem
Ps. Sol. 8 15 He [god] brought him that is from the end of the earth, that attacks with strength; He declared war against Jerusalem, and against her land. 16 The princes of the land met him with joy: they said unto him: Blessed be thy way!

The death of Pompey
Plutarch, Pompey 79 3 Then, as they drew near the shore, Cornelia, together with his friends, stood on the trireme watching with great anxiety for the outcome, and began to take heart when she saw many of the king's people assembling at the landing as if to give him an honourable welcome. But at thi...

Re: Has Anyone Ever Suggested that the Psalms of Solomon = 7
I am struck by the description of the destruction of Jerusalem: When the sinner waxed proud, with a battering-ram he cast down fortified walls, and Thou didst not restrain (him). Alien nations ascended Thine altar, they trampled (it) proudly with their sandals; Because the sons of Jerusalem had def...

Re: Diatessaron a Misnomer? The Evidence of Ephrem's Commen

Re: Anachronisms in Genesis
Question for big-brained ancient language people: would i be right in assuming that the occurrences of aramaic discussed are present both in the Leningrad Codex and the Dead Sea Scrolls? I don't know if big-headed and big-brained are synonymous, but on the DSS the fragments of Genesis found there l...

Re: Paul and his revelation
I don't have time for a long discussion, but would like to know your thoughts on this, at least, as previously when I asked you seemed to dance around the questions. I have dealt with all of these issues at length on the previous forum. You are commenting on an explanation I gave to Bernard, but se...
