Firstly, let's by clear on terminology, here is what I call it :Blood wrote: Yes I do. The Apostolikon is the Pauline epistles and pseudo-Paul are the Pastorals which I have in the list.
Paulines :
•Galatians
•I Corinthians
•II Corinthians
•Romans
•I Thessalonians
•Philemon
•Philippians
Pseudo-Paul
•II Thessalonians
•Ephesians (which Marcion called Laodiceans)
•Colossians
Pastorals
•Titus
•I Timothy
•II Timothy
In this classification, the Apostolikon is the 10 letters of the Paulines and the pseudo-Paulines, but not the Pastorals.
Don't forget the Catholic epistles
•James
•1,2,3 John
•Jude
•1&2 Peter
Now let's be clear - you're arguing that the Marcionites wrote the Apostolikon around the 120s ?
And that it was later seen as canonical by Paul; and edited by the later church to suit ? After Luke/Acts was written ?
1. So how do you explain the difference between Paul and the pseudo-Pauls ?
Scholars usually list these as NOT by Paul :
•II Thessalonians
•Ephesians (which Marcion called Laodiceans)
•Colossians
2. How do you explain the silence in Paul of the Gospel stories and sayings ?
Now I understand why so many of your letters are late in your list - because of your late dating of the Paulines - that pushes other writings back e.g. 1 Clement which knows Paul well.
Well, we have something in common - you put Paul late, I put the Gospels late. I wonder if we can find a compromise
