It is most remarkable that you would isolate a 'tipo' in order to win an argument. Something is radically wrong here. Quote:
Doherty's challenge is MOOT. He assumes that Epistle Hebrews was composed before the Canonised Gospels and that Hebrews Jesus was never on earth The very Canonised stories of Jesus do NOT reflect any notion at all that Jesus was never on earth. The authors of the Jesus stories claimed without any contradiction that their Jesus was buried by Joseph of Aritmathea. Their stories that Jesus was buried by Joseph of Aritmathea suggest that authors' stories were compatible with Epistle Hebrews or that it was NOT known to them. Matthew 27 Quote:

You made a challenge that Hebrews 8.4 refers to a Jesus that was never on earth. I am pointing out that your challenge is Moot because the authors of the Canonised Gospels if they wrote AFTER Epistle Hebrews do NOT show that Jesus Christ was NOT on earth. If as you claim Jesus was not on earth in Hebrews then you cannot explain why FIVE Canonised authors of the Jesus stories do NOT corroborate at all that Jesus was never on earth. It is clear that there are TWO fundamental answers. 1. The authors of the Gospel, if they wrote later, are compatible with Epistle Hebrews, that is, in antiquity the Jesus of Hebrews was considered to have been on earth. 2. The Epistle Hebrews was Unknown to the Canonised authors of the Jesus stories. In fact, the present existing evidence do support any one. Apologetic sources that made reference to Epistle Hebrews also claimed Jesus was on earth and the first mention of an Epistle to the Hebrews is AFTER the Gospels were ALREADY composed. |

Doherty's argument is hopelessly flawed.
When Doherty proposes that the Later Gospels "fleshed" out Jesus then he cannot explain why Epistle Hebrews was not also Fleshed out in order to be compatible with them if it was the intention of the Church to later claim Jesus was NOT only celestial. We would expect that it would be prudent for the interpolators and redactors to FLESH out the Entire Canon. As soon as Doherty argued that the NT was manipulated then his argument was destroyed because he cannot ever explain why Epistle Hebrews was left unmolested. But, the answer is rather simple. Epistle Hebrews was unknown to the Gospel writers and did NOT show Jesus was never on earth. |
