Re: Which Came First? The EuChrisken or The Easter Egg?
This suggests that in GJohn's time (c. 150) it was recognized that GMark was the original Gospel narrative. KK pointed out that Christian Bible scholarship is gradually accepting that GMark is mostly critical of Peter and The Disciples. They are still resisting the significance of 16:8 as the endin...

Re: Gospel priority
Luke omits the part of the parable where the seed sprang up quickly because it lacked depth of soil. However, he still provides an interpretation for that part of the parable! Where Mark’s seed on the rock withered “because it had no root”, Luke changes the reason to be that “it withered for lack o...

Re: The Antitheses and the origin of Luke
This is an incredible thread. Got my head buzzing, and I have questions about many of the topics brought up here: Did Marcion know about the claim that Luke was the author of Luke? Did he know the name "Luke"? Tertullian certainly did, and he certainly presupposes more or less that Marcio...

Re: The Antitheses and the origin of Luke
Andrew has already offered a reasonable answer to this question, but I would like to add that I find the question itself seems to suggest that this is an odd or perhaps counterintuitive view in need of a special defense, which I don't think it is. No, not in those words. How about just a defense of...

Re: Gospel priority
I don't think any of the evangelists that were later gathered into the four gospel canon meant for his work to be read alongside other gospels which had equal authority. I sometimes wonder about John vis-a-vis Mark, whether it was intended to be a John and Mark situation by the author of John. The ...

Re: The Antitheses and the origin of Luke
It's one thing for Marcion to say 'this was the original, that was an interpolation' when he does not know. It's another thing if Marcion originated the gospel text and wanted it to be accepted. In that case, transparency is unexpected. IMHO Marcion explicitly presented his Gospel text as a critica...

Re: The Antitheses and the origin of Luke
Alright, then I still tend to think Basilides is best explained as knowing Luke. 3) There is a third text in which Basilides appears to be commenting on the text of Luke, which is found in (Pseudo) Hippolytus, Refutation of All Heresies, given here with David Litwa’s translation: ὁπότε οὖν ἔδει ἀρθ...

Re: The Antitheses and the origin of Luke
May we have the citations, please?Secret Alias wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 2:14 pm What's the single most cited line in Marcionite literature?
Hint. It's not even from Luke.
Matthew 5:18.
