the author of Acts betrayes again himself (he was really stupid!) when he says that the name of the original sect was "the Way".
Mark says us who is pointing out that "way":
The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
(Mark 1:3)
Again and again, the pattern is the same:
- The only things Mark didn't derive from Paul were relative to "the baptism of John".
- The "baptism of John" was the original name of the sect of "Mark" (before the latter's conversion to paulinism): the "Way" (since Mark has John pointing out the "Way").
- All is judaized: the "Way" becomes "the Way of the Lord" (=YHWH). The "baptism of John" is of "John" (="YHWH-gives-grace"), the disciples were the sons "of Zebedee" (="YHWH-gives-grace").
