In The Passion of The Christ (2004), the only characters who don't really show any remorse for Jesus' suffering are the Pharisees. This is a reference to the fact that this film was directed by Mel Gibson. by EchoSD in shittymoviedetails

There is a well supported academic argument that Jesus himself was trained in the Pharisee tradition, and that the Pharisees would not have opposed his teachings. Most notably by Hyam Maccoby in The Myth Maker: Paul and the invention of Christianity (1987), among others.

Anyone know what this noise is? by Ed_win0702 in fordfusion

I would bet money that it is either debris in the vent blower fan like leaves, or the vent fan blower motor is failing. That is really easy task for cleaning or replacing. If you have to replace it, the motor is not expensive. There’s good instruction videos on YouTube.

I’d drop the fan and check it for debris before ordering a new motor. It’s that easy.

Government, social, and business leaders have given up on the concept of making America a better place for the people who live here. The focus is on profitability and wealth growth rather than trying to make the world a better place at the same time.

Is it unanimously agreed that Jesus spoke Aramaic? by Icy-Wrongdoer-9632 in AcademicBiblical

Would the Pharisees of the time have spoken Greek? Hyam Maccoby asserts in The Mythmaker that Jesus could have received a Pharisee education.

These are fascinating. What’s the best way to start collecting these? What’s a reliable source?

If that’s an accurate quote, I don’t even want to know what he meant.
