*** Mary Magdalene, an Incarnation of Isis *** We are all familiar with Mary Magdalene being depicted as the ‘Lady with the Alabaster Jar’, because she anointed Jesus with spikenard at the House of Simon-Boethus (see Mark 14:3). Spikenard being an expensive aromatic unguent,…
*** Pharaoh King David’s Court in Tanis *** We have seen evidence that the United Monarchy of David and Solomon may have been based in Zoan (Tanis) rather than Zion (Jerusalem). For this to be true, the family and court of King David of Zion would have to display close…

*** Why Erhman Fails (Pt II) *** We now come onto Bart Erhman’s exploration of the crucifixion narrative. Here, he spends two whole chapters examining the crucifixion of Jesus: debating the methodology of the execution, the nature of visions, the process of resurrection, and…

*** Nuclear War in lran and Israel *** Apologies, but Part 2 of the Erhman review will have to wait a while, because things are heating up in the East. Literally. lsrael has attacked lran’s nuclear facilities, and the brain-dead Western liberal left are reduced to blaming…


*** Where Bart Erhman Fails (Part I) *** A surface reading of Erhman’s ‘How Jesus Became God’ might persuade you that this book was well researched and therefore authoritative. However, a deeper analysis uncovers its underlying flaws, as the following observations demonstrate:…
