Over at your blog on HuffPo I seem to have gotten censored for putting up a blog link to my review of "The Lost Tomb of Jesus"
My blog is here:
http://normdoering.blogspot.com
What's odd is that two others have blog links up, but not me. It would also be odd if you were doing the censoring yourself.
I'm wondering if it's because of me saying this:
"Mr. Jacobovichi also argued how his own evidence was better than that of an archeologist who believed that back in 1990 the tomb of the "Caiaphas" family had been discovered and that this tomb had the bones of the very "Joseph, son of Caiaphas" that was the Jewish high priest who organized the plot to kill Jesus. The Caiaphas who convinced the Sanhedrin that Jesus should die and was also involved in the trial of Jesus after his arrest in the garden of Gethsemane.
"If this Jesus isn't the Jesus of the New Testament, then why believe that their Caiaphas is the Caiaphas of the New Testament? Did anything in their tomb suggest any of that Caiaphas family had been high priests? Well, if that archeologist had anything it was edited out. It was a point that didn't boost Jacobovichi's own credibility but rather one that gave me less confidence in biblical archeology overall, which was pretty low to begin with."
And then Caiaphas figuring into your own work.
Respectfully, if you're at all suggesting you won this debate, I'd have to strongly disagree.
