Does the interpolation extend further, down to 6:8? And if so should 5:1a be seen as genuine? 6:1-8 [1] When one of you has a grievance against a brother, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints? [2] Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world i...

DC Hindley, you have removed references to Jesus Christ and ended up with proposed originals that are more Jewish and not Christian. However, you haven’t addressed my main point which is can the same author write such contradictory things – the community he is writing to should not judge, because th...

In 1 Corinthians Paul writes that his converts should not judge him: 1 Cor. 4:2-5 [2] Moreover it is required of stewards that they be found trustworthy. [3] But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by any human court. I do not even judge myself. [4] I am not aware of a...

Does anyone present a detailed case why they think Q is based on Deuteronomy? Notice I was referring to sayings derived from Deuteronomy: MacDonald calls them Logoi of Jesus and designates than Q+ (see the diagram above^^^^). Brodie just calls then Logia , and proposes that the sayings attributed t...

My POV ... was that Q was a real life collection of sagely sayings that was not based on Jesus' sayings, but one of many such works floating around the ANE. Thomas Brodie thinks they are based on Deuteronomy as, it seems does, Dennis MacDonald as outlined in his 2012 Two Shipwrecked Gospels: the Lo...

I noted that others had posted here that they were interested in how Beverly would respond to our discussion above, as was I. So I sent her a private message: Subject: a new 'Mythicist' commentary on Mark Hi everybody! I'd like to be so bold as invite others to take a look at my work-in-progress com...

G., Take a look at Jesus and the Zealots by S G F Brandon (1967). He has an extensive section on this subject. … For Brandon's own 1971 review of the controversies that followed the publication of his three related books, The Fall of Jerusalem and the Christian Church (1951), Jesus and the Zealots ...

I think I figured out what the Blog was talking about. A comparison was being made between Matt 28:18 (not 10) and Dan 7:14. The Great Commission is well nigh universally recognized as an allusion to Daniel 7.13-14: In the back of my memory there was something linking Mt 28:18f to something in the ...

In “Introduction: part 1 ...” I like your section on Mt 28:18 and 2 Chron. 36:23 as you quoted both and put the Greek words you are comparing in brackets. However, you don’t continue to do this. This kind of multi language comparison is a tedious and drawn-out process (I know, I am in the process o...

I don’t know what level of critic you are looking for. I don’t know what level of knowledge you assume from your intended audience. I am going to assume that you are writing for a general audience who don’t know New Testament Greek and don’t want to have find a copy of the Septuagint in both Greek a...
