Re: Isaac Abarbanel and Marcion
Irenaeus tells us of the Marcosian (followers of Mark) interpretation of the latter chapters of Daniel ... Abarbanel remembers something that might explain the Marcionite interest in the epithet "strange/stranger" for Jesus. Abarbanel (c. 1500 CE) writes the following: ... The Gematria of...

Re: Even Joseph Turmel concluded that Matthew had falsified *Ev
Just thinking through this: 1. Marcion claims to have the original Gospel preached by Paul. Creator God of Judaism is not the true God. No attribution to the Gospel other than perhaps 'Paul'. 2. Proto-orthodox then take that Gospel, assign attribution to Luke, a follower of Paul, 1 and then add 'Ju...

re: Was Paul Marcion?
Yes I think so. I think Paul was Mark and somehow the name "Marcion" is derived from Mark perhaps owing to it being a diminutive. But hard to prove. Cheers. I have had the Markion = Mark thing in mind for a while. And the idea that Markion priority vs Mark priority might well be a false d...

Was Paul Marcion (in part, at least)?
Could some, much, most or even all the accounts of Paul be accounts about Marcion? or mostly about a Marcionite? The shipping expeditions, etc,? The references to other teachings may be references to subsequent orthodox teachers? Even Peter and James (& John) - who Paul disses - may represent or...

Re: The "new covenant" in 2 Cor 3 and Jeremiah 31
... Hays provides a very detailed analyses with good examples of Paul's inventive use of the scriptures. imo, Paul seems to be very 'inventive' in his use (and perhaps misuse) of the Hebrew scriptures, as you note with: Paul's creative and generative use of the scriptures WRT - “In Paul we encounte...
