Re: Why Matthew doubled the Gerasene Demonic (Paul) in *Ev and Mark

Only that in this case the privilege that was going to be conferred was not the privilege of being the Carrier of Jesus during the his entry in Jerusalem, but the privilege of being the first apostle of the gentiles and in extenso the destroyer of the Pagan world. We are referred to the way Barnabas...

Why Matthew doubled the Gerasene Demonic (Paul) in *Ev and Mark

In * Ev 8:26-39 the Gerasene Demonic is only one: 26 Then they arrived at the region of the Gerasenes,[a] which is opposite Galilee. 27 As he stepped out on shore, a man from the city who had demons met him. For a long time he had not worn any clothes, and he did not live in a house but in the tombs...

Re: Couchoud's 'Is Marcion's Gospel One of the Synoptics?'

What is the point for which this is a case? And how does this make the case for that point? The point I am making thanks to Stuart's quote is that when a major precisation is made about god (in the specific case raised by Stuart in Mark 10:6 and 13:19: the attribute of creator ) then we are fully j...

Re: Couchoud's 'Is Marcion's Gospel One of the Synoptics?'

Case in point (for which I am immensely grateful to Stuart): If there is anything in Mark that is possibly anti-Marcionite, and I think it's not specifically targeting Marcionites, as many gnostic teachings had the creator a lower entity than the father, then it would be verses 10:6 and 13:19. Mark ...

Re: Gospel muteness as evidence of anti-marcionism

I invite to read Christ's Torah of Markus Vinzent.

I am angry with Martijn Linssen because he invited me to buy it in an ebook version, which I did.

At contrary it deserves to be read in the paper version.

Re: Couchoud's 'Is Marcion's Gospel One of the Synoptics?'

Well, it could be food/daily sustenance, one of the necessities of life, as in 'Give us each day our daily bread.' Hardly so, since we are talking about the Evangelion of Marcion, and a similar case is proto-John, where the Paraclete, as a gift sent by the Father (probably not YHWH in proto -John) ...

Re: Gospel muteness as evidence of anti-marcionism

Cool—-can you tell me how it is even possible to leave the Beatitudes on the cutting room floor? Ev priority over Mark solves a lot of problems, but I just can see anybody taking a razor blade to the Beatitudes. How is that even possible? The Beatitudes are pure marcionite theology: the woes, meant...

A prioritist of Ev over Luke, or over Luke and Mark?
over Mark, Matthew and Luke (in that order).
