I am failing to see how Palm Sunday is connected to Jesus's birth. Can someone explain it to me? I read the article... Its long...I may have missed the part where it connects Palm Sunday to the Birth.

It isn't the mark of the beast. But it is a representation of it. A physical manifestation of the spiritual. A piece of silicon in your hand ain't going to condemn you. The mark in the forehead is your thinking and the mark in your hand is felliwship. Don't think like the whore or the beast...

If you read carefully you will see that's simply not true. I did not imply that you thought he was credible. Read carefully and you will see I was speaking of a former conversation in which I don't recall your involvement.. He was primarily a theologian... True, but was giving historical...

First of all, I didn't say you said he was... Second... Well thank you for that fine reference. In using that hyperlink, can you tell me exactly what Hippolytus said that points to the date of December 25th? I didn't see it on the web site. Perhaps you can tell me what chapter it appears in...

Well Historical Mary, do you know how he (Hippolytus) came up with that date? I'm sure you do or will google it soon if not. 2 reasons: 1. Its believed that the earth was created on March 25th and so Jesus himself must've been conceived on that date; and 2. Prophets are often conceived on...

What you are failing to acknowledge is that it is one thing to accuse someone of lying but credible historians offer evidence. Grabbe and the two others who quoted him don't do anything to disprove that Hislop made up the word origin of Easter . in fact its easy to prove he didn't make it up...

Did I say "all my dorection for life"? If a preacher is truly a man called of God to preach, who would be a better choice? Myself? You? Mamma? Was I, or you or Mamma called to preach? A preacher should be an expert on the written Word. If the Bible has answers to the dilemmas of life, who...

Through a preacher.

That's because they don't actually prove Hislop produced the myths. They just say he did. They simply just say he mixed them together and misunderstood. They didn't show how in the text I read. Hislops claim relies on the phenomenon of cultural diffysion. ALL historians who are credible...

I have said nothing anti-Catholic, BOL. So Nick, I do not agree with you that he has been debunked and I do not agree with you that they are credible scholars. You simply have one person who says Hislop was wrong (without proving it) and two others agreeing with him. That's not debunking and...

I think you missed the part were I said I don't believe its authentic. Is the weeping wall a miracle?

The miracle is Jesus raising from the dead, not the material things that were around.

I doubt the shroud is authentic. Furthermore, can some of you shroud experts comment on a fire that alledgedly happened that might have thrown off carbon data? Im asking... I just heard about it. If the shrous is real, its not a miracle. Its an artifact. If its real, its a real cool...

I blame Whoopi Goldberg.

Gives new meaning to the term "holy rollers". Dice rollers, that is! They are criminals. I am sure the Catholic Church is irate and will deal with it. My suggestion is that they restore to money and turn these theives over to the authorities for proper jail time.

Right BOL. That is exactly what I am talking about. In that listing you have 3 sources referenced. Lets deal with the latter two. I checked them. The both reference Lester Grabbe. Woodrow goes a bit further with his own rantings without reference. So the only real reference is Grabbe. I...

I agree... I do have a question.... Did Hislop leave any kind of bibliography? I can't find one... It would been useful. Its really not hard to find evidence that he was on to something in this day. Without a doubt, he didn't write the mythology. He makes conclusions and gives a theory as...

And this is where you are makibg the same mistake as the so called "serious historians". Let me put it this way: the story goes that the GODESS Semiramis married the GOD Nimrod and had a GOD child named Tammuz. Now of course this is false. Why do you believe it to be false? Because they...

Absolutely FALSE! It is not inventions of his own making. He is reporting what people believed. Basically you are making the same mistake these so called "serious historians" are making. You are trying to kill the messenger (Hislop). It's ok not to agree with his conclusions, but no... They...

Well... Yea... Absolutely true! From my understanding he didn't like the notes... Period. I am a KJV guy... But not one who shuns all other translations. It seems to me that qhile King James was no friend of the Catholic Church, he was not a friwnd of Protestant bickering either. He...
