Re: Three passages from the Evangelion that appear to assume the validity of the Law and the Prophets

I'm posting three passages from the Evangelion (in BeDuhn's translation) that appear to assume the validity of the Scriptures of Israel (i.e., the Law and the Prophets). 5.14 And he instructed him to tell no one, 'But go off and show yourself to the priest, and offer for your purification just as M...

Re: Matthean posteriority: From "son of Mary", to "son of Joseph", to "son of the carpenter"

Mark 6:3 Isn’t this the carpenter, the son of Mary? οὐχ οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ τέκτων ὁ υἱὸς τῆς Μαρίας Luke 4:22 Isn’t this the son of Joseph? Οὐχὶ υἱός ἐστιν Ἰωσὴφ οὗτος Matt 13:55 Is this not the carpenter’s son? Isn’t His mother’s name Mary? οὐχ οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ τοῦ τέκτονος υἱός οὐχ ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ λέγεται ...

Re: The peculiar case of the parable of the colostrum (aka 'leaven')

Well, the entire question of course is: why do Guillaumont, Layton, Lambdin, even Doresse, yet also a Gathercole, DeConick, Plisch, Quispel, and even a Schenke and Till falsify this logion? Why don't they simply translate what it says, OR emend it and then translate what that says? I've attached th...

Re: Does the lost Gospel Q Exist? | Dr. James McGrath Vs Dr. Mark Goodacre

obviously the verse 38-39 are the quintessence of harmonization: 38 But new wine must be put into fresh wine skins, and both are preserved . 39 No man having drunk old wine immediately desires new, for he says, ‘ The old is better .’ ” Impossible their presence in Marcion. You may remember this thr...

Re: Chrestians/Christians?

Imagine you walked into a 4th century imperial library, public library or book store and picked up a copy of the Greek NT Bible in which this rune "XS" is used 529 times, 379 of those times in the correspondence of Paul. A point of order, so tellingly forgotten: in Greek (unlike Coptic), ...

Re: The peculiar case of the parable of the butter

I'm going to do you a solid here and try to address both questions: (1) What is the meaning of the word here? (2) Which form of the parable is earlier? The second question is obviously more difficult, but I will offer my speculations, as you have yours along with your arguments. And I hope that the...

Re: Justin Martyr and the Emerging Christian Canon

For Justin, the scriptures foretold Jesus. The scriptures had prophecies. The scriptures had to be read carefully. These scriptures were the law and the prophets. By reading these scriptures, Justin comes to faith in Christ. And just as Justin comes to love Christ, Justin loves the scriptures. To J...

Re: Klinghardt on ‘abolishing the Law & Prophets’

did *Ev positively affirm, or deny, or merely evoke, the idea of Jesus abolishing the Law? does the Tertullian/Harnack consensus image of “Marcion” as enemy of Judaism and the Law hold water against the evidence of 23:2? does the Tertullian/Harnack consensus image of “Marcion” as “conservative” edi...

Re: Chrestians/Christians?

Where did you get this version of logion 6, Don? You've clubbed together parts of logion 4, 5 and 6 You're right, my mistake. I'd combined logion 5 & 6, when they should be separated, based on the text here . My apologies. But it doesn't affect my point at all . As you wrote back on page 15 in ...
