Isn't that more or less mlinssen's take on this board (if you consider Eusubius as part of that regime)?

If you did any research on the subject you'd know that yes, some of the horse culture Steppe peoples did have women fighting alongside men That's not the point. People read things as if they were portals to another dimension. Like because Tertullian says this or that "it must be true." Cl...

The myth of the Sarmatian women. If you did any research on the subject you'd know that yes, some of the horse culture Steppe peoples did have women fighting alongside men. And the Greeks encountered them. Graves have been found with women (fully clothed like typical steppe people) having some battl...

Encratite teachings were common in early Christianity (e.g., Act 24:25, 1 Corinthians 9:25, Galatians 5:23, Titus 1:8, 2 Peter 1:6; and against it's opposite in 1 Corinthians 7:5, 9 and 2 Timothy 3:3).

The Marcionites denied any gospel was written by an eyewitness. The ball got rolling with Paul. It's hard to know who exactly was a "Marcionite" as the views of identified Marcionites are wide ranging. My guess is a Marcionite was someone who held only to the gospel of Paul Not correct. I...

Unless you can explain how these are original, then missing in the Marcionite version (which is intermediate) and reappearing magically in the Catholi...

We should also add Revelation chapter 12 to this discussion. It's a very astrological birth of Jesus story with the sun and moon featured.

How can Mark 3:17 mention the “sons of thunder” without knowing Luke 9:52-56 ? https://earlywritings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=10572 I would caution against this conclusion. Or rather, against this conclusion beyond the authorship of the apostle list in verse 3:16-19. The naming of the twel...
