The prayers too 'saints' speaks too them like deities. I thought deification would be a proper word for it. Specifically, Judaism brought less harm then Christianity when it came to living in foreign territory. Reap what you've sown, of course with an 'eternal spirit' you don't have to worry...

He's fictional, he can live for however long you desire. Actually, the first to present JC is "Matthew". It doesn't really matter anyways. The reference is of the Transfiguration, Christ was fully grown then, no? I said their representatives, not the apostles themselves. This covers several...

I'm a bit confused by you're request, specifically: "any significant differences that are not accounted for in Acts." Is this statement referring to the agreement (or lack thereof) between the chapters selected? Marcion claimed to have known "Paul", 2nd best ticket into gathering sheep I...

I'm aware Saul was the name of Israel's first king. It's easy to accept you're own writing, Marcion of course would do such a thing. The fact that he wasn't alone adds more into the development of the fictional character "Paul", with all it's Anti-Jewish NT encouragement. Which is one of the...

I have no disagreement on any A.D historian being presented in the making of "Paul". My conclusion may as well result in agreement with the assumption of Ignatius, instead of Marcion. I have not read any of their writings, but at the same time I don't have doubt that Marcion's literature was...

I'm not competing with anyone Secundulus. I don't use biblical figures for chronology, if that's something you would like me to justify my hypothesis with. I don't have scholarship as a profession, there are many plausible outcomes but I'm not going to suggest Paul actually was a living...

Doesn't make "Paul" less of a fabricated apostle though.

Marcion is the most likely candidate, that's all that's being presented on my part. :clap:

All I said is that I'm not a fanatic, there is no denial in any 'deity of Christ'. I just don't see anything to validate Jesus being the God of Israel, this does not equate to denial just a lack of input or perhaps missed scripture. Isaiah 44:6 Israel's King and Redeemer, the LORD...

Paul was fabricated by Marcion, the works of Josephus supplied Roman Catholic novelists with additional material to NT "scripture", common practice undoubtedly.

I have no problem with the terminology, I was only implying that the nature of the sacrifice would be more precise as a scapegoat and not a 'Lamb'.

Goat would be more accurate.

1The God of Israel is God. 2JC isn't the God of Israel and the God of Israel isn't the HS. 3there is only the God of Israel. He didn't come as JC or the HS. 4Oness & Trinity doctrines are incompatible with the eternal original established covenant between YHWH & his people. Gen 1:2 the...

Thanks to the Creed of Chalcedon, word/logos is equated too Jesus and I guess you got the 'tradition' from there. I agree, it does not say that Jesus is God (The Word'?). not sure what good it does, but here is a link with the text...

So, something that's presented right in front of me as 'scripture' isn't qualified for being considered 'in context' for you or anyone else around CF?
