One quick question - based on not having done any investigating at all yet...not even having opened up the relevant pages of the Bible, truth to tell. Could "the third hour" perhaps mean "three hours later."

A quick comment en passant. Should the term here really be "historical error" - would "narrative error" or "reporting error" not be the more appropriate term? However, also noted in passing that a glaring error within this same time frame does exist? How is it that no-one seems to notice that...

If I take a copy of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, I might find an error of fact in a given article. If I compare that article with another article on the same subject in the Encyclopaedia Britannica, it is quite possible that I will find contradictions. Of course, I might not be taking into...

Whoa! Tons of stuff there to look into. Maybe this should be moved to another site altogether and instituted as an on line college course. I am still having difficulty fitting these correspondences into an already over-tight schedule, but time should free up a bit after Christmas. By then I...

Regarding the precision of the timing, I have a lot of looking up to do. I do recall reading somewhere that noon was, back in the when, 3:00 pm - but that reading was something to do with church history and hungry monks who weren't (as part of their devotions) permitted to eat before noon ...

You seem to have access to somewhat better resources than I do MarsMan. (To quote a worthy source "envy, envy.") So I'll ask regarding Luke's use of "tufloV tiV", which, as I understand it, should translate direct from Koine Greek into Japanese as "目の見えない人や," but which defies any real direct...

Apologies for having mis-understood your intention there Sabro. I have just completed an examination of the Greek Texts for the healing of the blind man/men (thorough, but not completely exhaustive), only the TR being looked into. First, an analogy: account 1: On its way out of the city, the...

Well - I finally got around to reading page 2. Objections raised regarding the development of spelling, grammar and nuance are based on the history of English. Koine Greek, and even more so, Classical Greek, had more nuance available than modern English can come close to. Koine Greek was deemed...

Saint Brigid was actually a person Tsuyoiko, named for the goddess Brigid by her parents. That certain aspects of the goddess's lore became attached to her name is kind of unfortunate. . ***** Blue Suede Shoes . It should be remembered that the Bible records a...

hmmm... I hope the computer doesn't find out It might fall to the ground The chair I'm sitting on seems to be stout But maybe it's just sound.

Greetings MarsMan: I think I have understood that. If I am wrong, feel free to correct me. The overall thrust of the contents of the NT is to teach believers the correct understanding of what they are believing in, and what the appropriate conduct is to be. To that extent, no individual text...

Justin Martyr debate with Trypho dates to years 150-160, getting very close to that date which I consider as being accurate for the purposes of establishing the original teachings of the churches. http://www.ccel.org/fathers2/ANF-01/anf01-48.htm#P4159_812391 Here shown that the doctrine of...

OK - I'm beginning to see what Mars Man is driving at... Points of agreement: historical errors exist (now that I understand what the term is aiming at.) Definitely. Evidence suggests quite strongly that there is a long lead time between events and the act of recording them - memories do get...

Greetings, Blue Suede Shoes. I'll be looking for your next post.

Oh -UFOs are definitely real, no doubt of it. Of course, they become not UFO's when you finally get to learn what they are - at which time they become IFO's (identified flying objects.)
