Re: Gospel muteness as evidence of anti-marcionism
P.S. since my brain is so full of secret mark, I can't help but also note that the theme of "linen" pops up here as well.......Jesus's gymnastic body was wrapped in linen, and the young man wore linen too. A ritual death followed by ritual resurrection cult? To this very day the Christian...

Re: "These places belong" to Paul and Marcion, not to James and John
Interesting that some would think that way when Paul and Marcion weren't even born until after Jesus was long dead and gone.

Re: Implications of Marcion for early Christianity?
Philo's understanding of the logos lends itself to a proposal that he was (likely unwittingly) the founder of Christianity. Quoting Wikipedia: Philo (c. 20 BC – c. 50 AD), a Hellenized Jew, used the term logos to mean an intermediary divine being or demiurge.[10] Philo followed the Platonic distinct...

Re: Litwa on Marcion as ancient Mythicist
This is why I don't like Richard Carrier: Litwa literally doesn’t know anything he is talking about. "Literally." How can an expert "literally" not know anything about what he is talking about. The word "literally" literally makes the sentence incomprehensible. Typical...

Re: Sacrifice of Jesus to "purchase" our souls from???
Was there a Devil as such extant within early Hebrew religious practice, or did this evil "lord of this world" sort of Devil conception evolve only much later? It seems that the earliest 'Satan' was merely a 'son of god' with a god given occupational task to perform (I.E., a job), just as ...
