If Luke's Mary is a slave, then "born by woman" (Gal 4:4) is a probable anti-marcionite interpolation

Here’s why this might be true. Because in Luke’s Gospel Mary identifies herself to the angel Gabriel as a “doule”, which, in the Greek, is the word for “enslaved girl.” [See Luke 1:38]

Believing in the authenticity of "born by woman" (Gal 4:4) Carrier, following Roger Viklund, had thought that the slave Agar was (allegorically) her mother.

But if the idea of a mother/slave is born with Luke (in the interpolated incipit added on Mcn) then "born by woman" (Gal 4:4), and his implication that the woman is the slavized Jerusalem (beyond if Mary or Agar) is probably an anti-marcionite interpolation.

It can't be a mere coincidence, that the idea of a slaviness of the Jesus's mother appears independently one from other in Galatians 4:4 and in Luke's (interpolated) incipit.

46. IS said: starting from Adam toward Johannes the Immerser, in the births of the women there is not he who exalted to Johannes the Immerser So that his eyes will not break.
I said it However: he who will come to be in you he been made little person he will know the reign of king and he will be high to Johannes.

It's all just name dropping Giuseppe, "born of women" came with "Johannes the Immerser"

Paul is continuously name dropping, writing his own bullshit story while using known words. He is the spin doctor of the NT, the prototype of an evangelist who would give away his own mother for free, the epitome of Roman rhetoric.
Paul is a hilarious hoax
