Hi all, I have a new blog at: http://vernerable.wordpress.com All my New Courville essays have been posted under the "Papers" section. I'll be shutting down ...
Greetings everyone, I'ld like to present 2 archeological cases where carbon dating methods favor 'high chronology'... though not without controversy. The 2...
... I won't close it down for a while (maybe another year). The problem is that Yahoo might close it down due to inactivity. There aren't any such problems...
I wouldn't worry too much about Yahoo shutting it down for lack of activity. Episcopate files are still accesable, and its last posting was in June 2003. ...
Greetings, The astrological world Daniel came into - Part 1 There are thousands of Babylonian and Assyrian clay tablets with astrological data on them. Some of...
Zoe, You may know of this already. If so, my apology. There's credible evidence that Halley's comet circa 11-12 BC could have been the Christmas star. More on...
Too early. In any case, this whole thing ties to the prophecy about a star rising out of Jacob, so there was something abnormal about all this. In a message...
Infowolf, Maybe not. According to Dio Cassius, in 12 BC Caesar Augustus presided over the funeral of Marcus Vipsanus Agrippa (his number-one guy in Palestine) ...
I think there were TWO censuses done. Joseph and Mary travelled in the second census. This was in some book sorting out the apparent conflicts in details. The...
Infowolf1 Might well have been two censi (sic) but in my book a comet is the best kind of astronomical object to tally against the nativity story. Halley's...
The astrological world Daniel came into - Part 2 It's amazing how many ancient Assyrian, Persian, Chaldean, and Babylonian clay Tablets, written in 'Cuniform'...
Greetings Bob, 11bc is too early, IMO, a date for the birth of Jesus. Why? Well, Jesus died at the age of 32 or 33, and if he was born in 11bc, then His death...
Ten or eleven year difference is not worth fighting over. Especially since the Torah says that there would always be a member of the tribe of Judah on the...
One conjecture at the time about the curtain was that Caesar and Agrippa had planned a census in Palestine for that year and that if he (Caesar) saw the body...
Ron, One source I have seen says that Augustus was appointed as Pontifex Maximus in March of 12 BC. I am not aware of what restrictions apply to the "PM"...
Greetings Mary Christine, ... In this particular case, i.e. the birthdate of Jesus, I think it is. Why? Well because: 1. This group's name is 'ancient...
Maybe Caesar was prevented from looking since he was the Flamen? Perhaps Jesus only began to "live" after his baptism?? Thus he could well have been born in 11...
ten or eleven years is a big deal on His exact birthdate, as calculated from the concurrent rulers etc. listed in Scripture, so a deviation of more than 3 or...
Halley's comet has been around for a very long time. There have been recorded apparitions of it about every 77 years or so since 240 BC. (It was two years late...
Hello Robert Fritzius, I have a question for you about your theory that Haley's comet was the 'star of Bethlehem' in 11bc, but first indulge me by reading the ...
Mary Christine, The following article has a lot of material aimed at adjusting our ideas about the dates of Jesus' birth and his ministry. Jerry Vardaman,...
Toby, Strictly speaking, it's not my theory about Halley's comet. I do tend to think that there's something to it. Shortly, probably on 9 December, I'll post a...
All, The earliest unambiguous reference to Venus is at the creation of our earth. Job 38:4-7 "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me, if...
I think you miss a key point. Almost all these efforts at date adjusting, revolve around the ANTI SUPERNATURALISTIC ASSUMPTION that the Star of Bethlehem was a...
Toby, Here's the first installment of the 12 BC reconcilliation. Will get to the 15th year of Tiberias matter in a later post. This is from Dr. Vardaman's...
I'm not really sure just what it is that you are asking. On the surface it seems to me that you are saying that you are resistant to any thing that is...
