Re: Basic reason why the name of Pilate was absent in the Earliest Passion Story extrapolated from Mark
the point is that if I remove the released Barabbas, then I should remove also the releaser : P i l a t e. And make anonymous (and really bad ) the Roman " governor ". rgprice has pointed out a few times that you are reconstructing a supposed original gospel, although you could essentiall...

Re: Basic reason why the name of Pilate was absent in the Earliest Passion Story extrapolated from Mark
I would rather not share this view. Do you agree with Raschke on this point? I think that it is too much obvious, that having a Pilate releasing Barabbas works also , inter alia , as a good pro-Roman apologetics. Note that without the release affair, Pilate (or the Roman governor who was in his pla...

Re: Jesus' home in Capernaum?
So, does not Mark indicate that Jesus was from Capernaum as opposed to Nazareth? Spin discussed this topic about seven years ago and Ben did an excellent job of supporting spin's argument with examples from the LXX. (However, Solo pointed out that house in GMark doesn't necessarily mean, or rather ...

Re: The Deir Ali inscription proves that Chrestos was not a holy name
One issue here is that you are salami slicing the data to conform to your presuppositions. You are ruling out of court any evidence from "graffiti," "inscriptions," or "private papyri" and arbitrarily (yes it is arbitrary) positing that the only relevant evidence is &q...

Re: The Deir Ali inscription proves that Chrestos was not a holy name
I'd like to try to follow up, a little, on what I was offering to do in my first reply to the OP. I guess this text both considered it a "holy name" and considered it not to be a "holy name" at the same time. https://papyri.info/dclp/63986 - Trismegistos 63986 (ca. 200-299) [Ἰ]η...

Re: The Deir Ali inscription proves that Chrestos was not a holy name
PS, SA's attack on KK is unworthy. Thanks for the kind words, Stephen. I'll let those experts do their thing. If anyone is interested in facts and what such inscriptions looked like in a Christian prayer house with nomina sacra for God, Jesus and Christ, I would like to point them to the mosaic fro...

Re: The Deir Ali inscription proves that Chrestos was not a holy name
The casual repetition of the phrase "nomina sacra" has led to much carelessness in these matters. In other words, I blame scholars for this. I may be able to find some relevant data, given the ongoing construction of my "database" here. Yes, you definitely need to rethink the co...

The Deir Ali inscription proves that Chrestos was not a holy name
I suspect that the first Marcionites quite naturally thought of their Jesus as “Christos”. Of course, I don't want to rule out the possibility that later followers preferred to call him Chrestos. Based on what evidence? Like most people want everyone else to share the same opinions with them. But t...

Re: Can We At Least Agree that the Marcionites Did Not Call Jesus "Christ"?
Why must it be assumed Marcion revered Luke? Why must this always be a starting point? Joseph, this is really ridiculous. Every day several Marcion threads are opened in this forum, the starting point of which is exactly the opposite. This forum has now become the Marcionite Speculations Forum. Sin...
