Book excerpt: Second Temple Pharisees conducted Clean-Up-the-Galilee campaign against gay and lesbian couples. Key evidence was ignored and suppressed by Christian and Jewish leadership. Luke's evidence demonstrates that Pharisees conducted vice raid and stings against gays and lesbians, unevenly due to legal jurisdictional dispute. "Catch and Release" policy resulted from conflict between Israeli and Roman law. Key evidence of Galilee Episode overlooked.1)Founder of Rabbinic Judaism, Yohanan b. Zakkai, stationed in Galilee between 20 and 40 CE: record sanitized for its incendiary legal precedent. 2)Scholars ignored Pharisees as law enforcement because of a) reaction against their knee-jerk utility as go-to bad guys for orthodox Christianity, b) dangers of further stoking anti-Judaism, and c) alleged lack of evidence of Pharisees in Galilee.3)Persecution sites Chorazin and Bethsaida ignored because of only one mention in Q. 4)Entrapment techniques undetected because of "messianic pretender" theologizing, an element present in Matthew but absent in Luke. 5)The gay and lesbian identities of the targets missed for theological and personal reasons. 6)Legal reasons for "Great Separation" unseen due to bias favoring apocalyptic judgment interpretations. (I.e., "God rescued one but not the other because...")7)Historically, the cause of "One was taken and the other left" in Luke 17:34-35 was a jurisdictional dispute between Pharisee Yohanan b. Zakkai and Philip the Tetrarch, who wouldn't allow his non-Jewish subjects to be prosecuted under the Jewish Torah. 8)The same-sex identity of the couples in Luke 17 denied by Christian theologians because it "contradicted" the Clobber Passages. Pericope Eiusdem Sexus (Luke 17:28-29, 34) created, emphasizing same-sex elements already present in Q source.Luke 17:35's sexual "grinding" was never slang or metaphorical, but a nearly universal idiom, present in Biblical Hebrew, Latin, koine Greek, Chaucer, Shakespeare, ubiquitous historically and today.Bible translators Bruce Metzger (RSV, NRSV) and Mark Strauss (NIV, TNIV) eliminated evidence for the gay and lesbian targets incrementally. Metzger eliminated "men" from one bed by 1951, Strauss eliminated lesbian ambiguity in 1984, and by 2005 all traces of gays and lesbians in English translations of Luke 17:34-35 was gone.

Download or read book Cold-Case Christianity written by J. Warner Wallace and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by an L. A. County homicide detective and former atheist, Cold-Case Christianity examines the claims of the New Testament using the skills and strategies of a hard-to-convince criminal investigator. Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity. A unique apologetic that speaks to readers’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.
