My message to Russell Gmirkin. Dear Dr. Gmirkin You misquote me dishonestly in the Early Writings forum. You say I wrote that the Samaritan Joshua is "secondary and very late". This is dishonest misquotation by omission. I said that the MT and THE PRESENT FORM of the Samaritan Joshua are s...

Oh I forgot. Goranson is only a first generation Mar Saba letter commenting bot. He only has two settings. Setting One: making on topic assumptions that the letter is a fake. Setting Two: making off topic assumptions that the letter is fake. Only the next generation Stephen Goranson Mar Saba comment...

If this isn't deflection what is? Did you address his point at all? Sadly this is not at all surprising. Admit he's right. Thanks.

Go home, you are drunk man The analogy is perfect. Ridiculous claims. Implausible plot. Idiotic character development. But everyone goes along with it. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-b4iPD9ToZ58Xzwnf8AKoYMvULRsRa5_jqkdXfQaK3KkjpxwfC23fdO7j8jBOdIUK4KKmU1w_INU_GosdnmAoeE...

Moreover, taking up Paul's references to "my gospel" in Galatians, Marcion concluded that he used one written gospel" [Steven Wilson, Related Strangers p. 171] "What of his insistence that there was only one true Gospel, the book which Paul referred to as 'my gospel'? Marcion was...

According to early church writers Marcion thought that the expression “τὸ εὐαγγέλιόν μου” in Romans (16:25) was a straightforward reference to a literary work: that is to say, Paul refers here to Luke's gospel. Beginning with Harnack, scholars have pointed out that for Marcion's purpose, the Gospel...

I would like it if the Beginning of the Gospel of Christ Jesus text had al kinds of material that was omitted from the other gospel texts. 'The spirit is willing, but the evidence is weak.' Help my unbelief here. Does the idea that there was this kind of material in it have anything going for it? Ma...
