Romans 16:25 + Mark 1:1 "Then the Jew standing by him said to the people who believed that yesterday, and the day before, and whenever we were punishing this man while he was shepherding you, you turned away from the ancestral law, knowing nothing precise in what he said, as we demonstrated. Bu...

I could post all of them but I don't want to distract from Peter's point. Bye.

Examples of Origen's cryptic referencing of Secret Mark. There are dozens more like this. It's always Romans 2:19 or 16:25 + Mark 1:1 over and over again: Now, certainly the introduction to Christianity is through the Mosaic worship and the prophetic writings; and after the introduction, it is in th...

We just have to stop addressing this idiotic point of view. Like trying to plug into a plug. It doesn't work. It can't work. No more discussions of Luke alongside Marcion. There is no point.

What is the point of discussing Luke in relation to Marcion? What is the value in this? They didn't think Luke wrote the gospel. They attributed that to Paul THE apostle.

The frequency with which he brings up Romans 2:19 and 16:25 he references Mark 1:1 and the Marcionites.

I forgot to corroborate Romans 2:16 with Mark 1:1. I can do that too. The Marcionites held that there was only one evangelist, only one apostle. This is a Samaritan formulation of the word apostle and is based on the authority of Moses. Moses was the apostle of God. There are no other apostles besid...
