Thanks for the link, NYer. Saved it off for this site.
A question or point of discussion for any Christian historian out there -
I read Bill O’Reilly’s and Martin Dugard’s book - Killing Jesus. It had a section of what had happened to many of the players, including Pontius Pilate.
A couple of stories said Pilate fell out of favor with Rome and was forced to kill himself. One, however, said Pilate and his wife Claudia later converted to Christianity and were martyred.
Hear anymore about this last scenario?

The folks who defend Christian iconography as not being a violation of the commandments really need to read some of these historical accounts. There was really not much “wiggle room” for the Jews when it came to images.
Thank You!
Where there is greatness, great government or power, even great feeling or compassion, error also is great. We progress and mature by fault.... Perfect freedom has no existence. A grown man knows the world he lives in, and for the present, the world is Rome.... But when I go up those stairs I become the hand of Caesar, ready to crush all those who challenge his authority. There are too many small men of envy and ambition who try to disrupt the government of Rome.
