Re: What is the source of this quote: "not protesting against himself being good"

I don't follow your proposed reasoning, CW. Do tell. I write this not to satisfy some puerile desire on someone's part for a faux dialogue - I've certainly better things to do - but for others who might want to find an entry point for understanding my view of the Roman Construction of the NT.

Re: Flaw with Marcion priority theory?

However gMark has an *imminent* end of world in his little apocalypse chapter 13. This, in my opinion, is a literary creation written around Alexander Jannaeus. Mark 13: [14] "But when you see the desolating sacrilege set up where it ought not to be (let the reader understand), then let those ...
