The Bible Geek Podcast 22-003 (Robert M. Price)

The crucifixion story in all four gospels had to have been based on Josephus’ story of rescuing a friend from crucifixion. All four gospels were written after the Josephus “rescue”, so there is not a problem with the dates. But Paul talks about Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection before the Josephus rescue occurred. How did he know about it? 

Concerning Pau's vision about the "Last Supper", I had for a long time accepted the mythicist argument that this was a vision Paul received from Christ and not something that went back to the historical Jesus, or a tradition of Jesus. But didn't Christians start having visions of Jesus only AFTER his death and resurrection? How would Paul be having a vision of Jesus BEFORE he even dies and resurrects?? 

1 Cor 11 says this happened on "the night he was handed over". 

Could you explain the original language of the Old Testament, the language of the manuscripts, and how the text has evolved? 

What is your understanding of why the word "jealous" is used to describe God? 
What is Ephesians 3:18 about? 
Is the object missing from the sentence? 
Why are there four dimensions in the Pauline hyperreality? 
Is Leviathan evil? 
If a sun god is transformed into a human hero, for example Samson, is this demythologization? 
And is demythologization the opposite of euhemerism?
