Re: Reconstructing the original story of Paul

The connection of Paul with "the baptism of John", even if in a convoluted way ( that John is made a gentilizer in virtue of being the teacher of the gentilizer called Apollos), is very much suspected, docet Vinzent in Christ's Torah . Because also Jesus has been connected artificially (an...

Re: Gospel priority

This is a thought on the "Gospel priority":

It cannot be a coincidence that the Markan priority has been abandoned especially by scholars and/or amateurs who have seen the prominent role of Marcionites in the fabrication of the "pauline" epistles.

Trobisch is an example.

Re: Implications of Marcion for early Christianity?

Of course Luke derived from *Ev the idea of a spiritual entity descending on the earth in 3:2:

in the 15° year of Tiberius [...] the word of God descended on John son of Zechariah in the wilderness

The "word of God" is the Logos.

Re: Implications of Marcion for early Christianity?

Ken, one of the reasons Secret Mark can persuade about its authenticity is that it gives a detailed explanation about what Jesus went to do in Jericho (an explanation that is absent in Mark).

Re: Implications of Marcion for early Christianity?

I think that " doubtless " in the Jesus's answer is a strong clue pointing to an explanation found inside the story itself of the gospel of Luke, not assumed a priori external to that gospel (i.e. possibly in Mark). " Doubtless " in Jesus's answer explains also why *Ev were to c...

Re: Implications of Marcion for early Christianity?

"Doubtless" in Jesus's answer explains also why *Ev were to choose one city to begin with, even before that the name of the city ("Capernaum") was mentioned.

Re: John the Baptist, redivivus of a 2015 article

Continuing on my previous post: It seems to me that the right sequence would be: 1) Jesus ben Sapphat ("Damneus") is made temporarily high priest by Herod Agrippas II. 2) Hearsay about Jesus being accused of being not a legitimate high priest. 3) 1 Clement and Hebrews arguing for Jesus cel...

Re: Implications of Marcion for early Christianity?

. When Jesus says " Doubtless you will tell me ...whatever we have heard done at Capharnaum ...'” -- how can Jesus be so doubtless that they will mention Capharnaum--and not Sepphoris, or Tiberias, or even Chorazin and Bethsaida, which (later in the gospel) Jesus explicitly mentions performing...

Re: John the Baptist, redivivus of a 2015 article

Giuseppe -- and maybe consider reading the NT letter of Hebrews as an apologia of Jesus supporters to having an Aaronic-ancestry claim discredited and gone? indeed Hebrews talks about Jesus entering in the heaven as a celestial high priest. And in Hegesippus's legend, James the Just seems to be inv...
