Jesus is king. I been doing my studies on old manuscripts and outside sources that talk about the Bible accounts. Its amazing. I believe in Jesus by faith. Also my testimony is my proof to me and my family. But so amazing to see how God keeps his promise that His word will be there for us to read . God bless.

It always surprises me that historicism as a method is so vulnerable to anachronisms and arguments from silence.

But ever since it exists from the 19th century onward, it has become so firmly embedded within our biases over the centuries that it now makes it much harder to study pre-modern history, but with enough diligence we can calibrate a more correct study and understanding of Pre-Modern history.

By far most objections to Christianity (or sometimes even to Islam) are characterized by misplaced Enlightenment understandings of reality and history that can easily be exposed as being unable to provide any credible alternative and whose sole concern is to "debunk" rather than "inquire". The entire purpose and value of historicism changes once it studies pre-Enlightenment human history.

There are two issues I find interesting about this story, 1. It briefly interrupts Mark's gospel from 6:13 through 6:30 2. Jesus disciples were not eye witnesses to the execution, only John's. It looks like this information was provided by John's disciples, and later edited into Mark.

Is spekulator used in the textus receptus?

I think writing in a civil executioner might have implied that John's beheading went through some kind of legal process, so I don't think it would have happened even in a fictional account.
(That said, they could have just left out the detail of the executioner, and just written that Herod "had John beheaded" without going into detail over who or how.)

I mean the bit with Herodias's daughter sounds a little far fetched but I don't think anyone with any biblical knowledge doubts that John the Baptist was killed?
