Re: Was the didachist an enemy of Paul's crucified Jesus?

I don't like to inquiry under the points 1 and 2, frankly. The point 3 remains only a possibility. I am interested about the point 4 . The trial of Jesus before the sinedrites seems really in my eyes the process by which the divine Son ascends to heaven by giving the right passwords to the doorkeepe...

Re: Was the didachist an enemy of Paul's crucified Jesus?

Seen from this POV, then " the one who leads the world astray will appear as a “son of God” and will work signs and wonders, and the earth will be given into his hands, and he will do godless things which have never been done since the beginning of time." is already the cursed by God as th...

Was the didachist an enemy of Paul's crucified Jesus?

From Didache: 16:4 And at that time the one who leads the world astray will appear as a “son of God” and will work signs and wonders, and the earth will be given into his hands, and he will do godless things which have never been done since the beginning of time. 16:5 Then human creation will pass i...

Re: Books and letters of Paul.

Marcion accepted that the 12 were apostles before Paul: Who loves Paul but is somewhere on the spectrum between hostile and ambivalent towards the Jerusalem Apostles? In my mind, the answer could not be more obvious: it was the Marcionites! https://timsteppingout.wordpress.com/2018/09/13/criterion-o...

Re: No “Son of Man” in Marcion

This allows me to decipher the hidden meaning of the following verse: Going a little farther, he fell to the ground and prayed that if possible the hour might pass from him. 36“ Abba , Father,” he said, “everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.” ...

No “Son of Man” in Marcion

So Tertullian: When led before the council, He is asked whether He is the Christ.(12) Of what Christ could the Jews have inquired(13) but their own? Why, therefore, did He not, even at that moment, declare to them the rival (Christ)? You reply, I n order that He might be able to suffer . In other wo...

Re: Who'sonfirst? GMark As Separationist

rgprice wrote: Tue Sep 18, 2018 8:28 am I don't think GMark was either Separationist or Adoptionist. I think the writer of Mark knew that Jesus wasn't real and was just writing a fictional story. There was no intention of establishing doctrine.
Very thanks for the satisfactory answer! :cheers: I will think about it more.

Political Separationism in Mark?

I have read with enthusiasm the book of RG Price, Deciphering the Gospels: Proves Jesus Never Existed (my positive review here ) and only a thing I found missing: how the author can explain the separationism in Mark along the lines of the his interpretation of Mark as political fiction. I think that...

Re: Jesus and other saviors/heroes

Every aspect of Jesus can clearly and definitively be traced to Jewish sources. RG Price, I would like an answer from you about this question about Mark (basically, the only thing who I found missing in your book): http://earlywritings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4536 Thanks for any answer.

Re: Did Hegesippus break the equation "James brother of Lord = Son of Zebedee"?

Where does Hegesippus say James the brother is James son of Zebedee? Hegesippus couldn't mention "Zebedee" given the absence of an oral tradition about James the Pillar as "James the son of Zebedee" (the name "Zebedee" was probably an invention by Mark). There was an o...
