Featured Paul mentions that “more than 500” saw the risen Jesus in a single early letter, but included this in no other letters. Why ? ?

Better questions to ask…well, you arent asking any questions i guess huh, since you know everything, but better Qs might be along the lines of why Jesus would even give the time of day to an oppressive occupier, let alone heal their “son,” esp in light of “even dogs get crumbs from the table”

“A centurion was a Roman military leader in command of 100 men“ lol, priceless

Jesus helped the Roman centurion’s servant because Jesus loved him. The same reason Jesus helped the Syrophoenician woman’s daughter. The same reason Jesus saved me. Out of love.

We prolly shouldnt forget the He also chased some others around with whips tho, huh
Anyway, go with that if you like, and best of luck in your quest for immortality ok

Oh daughters of Jerusalem, do not find love until you are ready

i think the link drops you in at chap 3 but you can revert or whatever, if you like.

So I went to the link and this is what I found about the author. There is absolutely no reason to take his findings as legitimate:

well, nor mine, for that matter, right? Doesnt mean that they arent legit tho, either. Do you have any evidence to suggest that they arent? Bc i have three witnesses for him that say they are

HEALTH WARNING: I’m totally unqualified to be writing about the topics I cover on this site. I don’t have any training or qualifications in archaeology, biblical studies, biblical Hebrew/Greek/Aramaic, or the history of the ancient Near East. I’m just an overly-enthusiasic amateur who spends more on books than his wife would like.

I think it’s fine to look at someone with an amateur’s interest in archaeology, but it’s good to “stay close to the shoreline.”

But that, I mean this amateur should maybe start with news articles from ABC, CBS, BBC, and other mainstream sources, which every once in a while will talk about a discovery in archaeology.

Then he or she could go to the professional journal(s) on this same topic. And these journal articles can be hard to understand. In addition, there is the problem of . . .

Predatory publishing - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

“Predatory publishing, also write-only publishing is an exploitative academic publishing buiness model, where the journal or publisher prioritizes self-interest at the expense of scholarship. It is characterized by misleading information, deviates from the standard peer review process, . . “

“The phenomenon of ‘open access predatory publishers’ was first noticed by Jeffrey Beall around 2012, when he described ‘publishers that are ready to publish any article for payment . . ’”

“According to one study, 60% of articles published in predatory journals receive no citations over the five-year period following publication. . . ”

So, it can be hard to do a good job even when you want to.

But as I sometimes tell the guys at my local bar who criticize the “lame stream media,” believing some random clown on YouTube is not the answer either! Although I usually use a little PG-profanity to describe this random clown.

I just posted what he said about himself. He discredited his own essay. Why would anyone take his article seriously after he says he is not qualified to write about it?

say something once, why say it again?
The other three are Dr’s fwiw, but i chose him on purpose

also, the Dr’s are his refs—not that i am impressed by titles—and they write like they are trying to win a spelling bee lol
So, im trying to imagine a way that i might communicate Eminence Front to you; the Bible allegory is mostly closed to you right now i guess, but essentially it is the strong man seeking to force their way in thing…although ive had believers insist that that is a good thing, too, lol

also, full disclosure—and pls dont take this wrong ok—i dont expect that you would endorse anything i have to say, which in itself becomes a sort of endorsement, see; you have already just stated that your belief that most other ppl are going to hell after they have died has not been changed, right? Despite the several direct statements to the contrary in the Bible; All go to the same place, No one has ever gone up to heaven…, There is only One Immortal, etc, all get reasoned away, right

So see, i even expected you to attack the man rather than the info; as i said, this is a rerun for me, and they never go any other way.
I am open to any refute of the info though, ok?

Milk and meat not mixing is a…just a weird spiritual principle, that plays out irl, spoke like one in authority even comes into this, although that is initially misunderstood, since “confidence” is…initially assumed, right? Know why they call it a con man? lol
for the same reason you have discredited him without verifying the data, see

Well, i understand why you say that, but they have a vested interest, and it is def not in wising up the marks lol; they have a vested interest in ppl reading the Bible literally, which is kinda hard to splain, but sort of for the same reason you would trust the info coming from them more? i take it?

Im your age, which is the lower limit for ppl who trust the msm, apparently. Idk if its the aspergers or being raised by wolves, but i have never trusted any info blindly like that. Even an expert can have a bias, or be misinformed, right. As for msm, i assume whatever info might be correct has also been warped into a bad frame; which the motives have obv changed over the last several years. Used to be mostly for sensationalism, but now it seems to more often be outright misinfo for social engineering

A prob now though is that even search—which could be used to verify—is getting pretty corrupted

ya, Sabine H on YT has been documenting the fall of professional publishing in Quantum and even Particle Physics for a while now; and i guess AI is only going to make it worse? Apparently Amazon has limited authors (many who of course paste “Dr” in front of their pseudonyms) to three new books a day, lol.

which i guess i should reiterate that im not blaming you or anything, ok? I guess its just part of the process, i did the same thing, more or less

we are warned about scribes xlating the Bible to suit their audiences, and that is just a hard thing to realize after being indoctrinated into the flawlessness of the Bible; most believers even conflate it with Word now, etc, but a point is that it is something that has to be personally realized—scribes will mistranslate, by definition—and its up to you to figure out where

 

[bbyrd009]

I guess that the cult of sol is the one who compiled the Bible, we can talk about later lol

Jesus said broad is the way that leads to destruction and many are on that path while narrow is the road to life and few find that way. So it’s not my assertion, it the Lord’s.

You should study to scriptures more and you might understand what happened to people who died prior to Jesus’ resurrection compared to what happens to people today. Only those who have been enlightened by the Holy Spirit can fully grasp the scriptures. Your posts reveal a lack of Biblical understanding.
