Re: Evidence of heretics who considered Paul the only apostle?

The Paul the Apostle project is a form of an intermediary transmitting religious content with divine attribution. A standard construct in many religions before and after Christianity. The First Apostle and the Last Prophet are the same concept under different names. The environment that created Paul...

Re: Luke knew Josephus or Josephus knew Luke?

It took writers several centuries to solve Jesus' genealogical problems. Ultimately, they came to the conclusion that Jesus' grandparents were brothers and one of them was nicknamed Panther. All this is beautifully described in the only professional historical publication by Paweł Janiszewski, profe...

Re: Luke knew Josephus or Josephus knew Luke?

I just looked through Klinghardt's Reconstruction *24:13-35 (pages 1239-1257) and compared it to Goldberg's paper. It seems that not only Luke used TF, but also the unknown author *Ev, who was brought to life by Klinghardt. It seems to me that Klinghardt has a problem. The author of *Ev was Luke. Gr...

Re: Invented Paul

I just see that writers get lost in the narratives created in various texts. The creators of Paul's character saw what the competition was doing. They saw that myths-gospels were created and that they were desired by the recipients. That's why they decided to protect their hero as best they could. H...

Re: Invented Paul

1 Clem is supposedly the first testimony of the Pauline epistles, the Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles. These are some bits of sentences that can be found in the relevant NT writings. The letter is most often dated to the end of the first century, less often to 140 CE. Otto Zwierlein and Markus ...

Invented Paul

The current consensus consists of the following theses: 1. During his missionary activity, Paul used letters to communicate with various home communities in the years 40-65 CE. 2. We have no other evidence from the time of the original circulation of Paul's letters and from at least 40 years after t...

Re: KPI

I don't trust Tertullian at all. He was barking at Marcion after several dozen years, looking for any arguments, including inventing them. This is the problem - we listen to hostile propaganda in which the truth/false criteria do not exist. I trust Tertullian for what he includes, but I don't trust...

KPI

Key Performance Indicators - Marcion Throughout the 100-year history of studies about Marcion, biblical scholars write only about matters of secondary importance from the point of view of reconstructing this figure, which are key to understanding the conflict from the 2nd century AD. They deal with ...
