Philo says nothing worth quoting.

Re: i dont understand what is going on in the trinity

The Trinity is one big embarrassing cop-out IMO. From my experience, when you ask the average self-professing "Christian" in the street how the Trinity works, they will tell you a view of it that would have been regarded as heretical in the days that it was being formulated (and probably ...

So in the end there is no evidence to support the claims of a pre-existent 'Jesus angel.' Instead all evidence points to people who were already Christian adapting and distorting Zechariah to fit their already established belief in a man-God Jesus. As such the attempts to make Philo a witness for t...

Biblical Typology http://www.catholicbible101.com/elias-chariot.jpg Biblical typology is when a person or an event in the Old Testament foreshadows a person or an event in the New Testament.

Re: Carrier proposes the NT Jesus based on Philo's Jesus ang

There seem to be 365 Messianic Prophecies , of which number 332. Zechariah 6:12-13...Priest and King... Hebrews 8:1 is one.

The prophecy number 332 could be taken to have been proven by this messianic OP.
Amen.
