If the exorcisms in the real History are the baptism of the Pagans, then the scribes (the Judaizers) don't like that the Gospel was preached among the Pagans. Or better: they don't like that the Gospel is gentilized in order to be given to the Pagans.Giuseppe wrote: ↑Tue Dec 12, 2017 9:15 am
Only, this has derived my attention:
Is there some causal link between the provenance of the scribes "from Jerusalem" and their accusation that Jesus is friend of the (Galilean?) demons?Mark 3.22: 22 And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem were saying, "He is possessed by Beelzebul," and "He casts out the demons by the ruler of the demons."
There is a distinction between who wants that the Gospel is not preached openly among the Pagans and who wants to conserve it in a Jewish secrecy.
So the fact is that the Judaizers are for the secrecy, the Paulines are for the open propaganda: but the irony is that the real outsiders are just the Judaizing 12 apostles (even if shown as insiders in Mc 4:11-12) while the real insiders are "those out" (even if shown as outsiders in Mc 4:11-12).
There is a historical kernel behind this dualism: Paul in 1 Cor 2:6-8 was really speaking a bit more than usual to outsiders about a mystery reserved only for insiders ("the perfects"). If it was reserved to only perfects, why did Paul put the secret in scripture, afterall? The secret is only declared orally. This says us that the paulines were more and more anti-insiders. If nothing is arrived to us from the Pillars, it is because they were reluctant to put in scripture their secret revelations. Paul may be became so important just because he WROTE something (to reveal it to outsiders).
