I've not encountered this debate before but appreciated reading your thoughts. I really like the coherence of the Johannine theme of adoption and why Jesus might have pedagogically used υἱός.
Thank you, I learned so much from this. No garrison in Galilee, Galileans, Idumaeans, and other foreign mercenaries used by Herod, marriage restrictions for Roman soldiers, Greek vocabulary, how "boy" could be used, adoption of children after service. You are a good teacher.
Another term I have for eisegesis is 'Chinese Cookie Theology.'. People pick a verse and form a whole theology on it.
The Chosen goes the same route with the Centurion/illegitimate son thesis in season 4. It's really well done.
I wondered if someone would mention that. I was thinking... "Could the showrunners have gotten this right???"
Wow, good for them!
You make a compelling case, Jason. Excellent.

Thanks for your work.
Very interesting thanks!
Yes, that makes sense - thanks!
