Simon Magus = Marcion: Who has suggested this?
Re: Simon Magus = Marcion: Who has suggested this?
Thinking about it again, it seems that a possible utility behind the assumed identity Simon Magus = Marcion is that the Samaritanism is seen as the invented 'missing link' between 'pure' Christianity and anti-demiurgism. It also talks about the anti-demiurgist co-optation of Samaritan anti-Judean polemic along the common trope: Jesus is not davidic, docet Stuart.
Once introduced the connection Samaritanism/anti-demiurgism, the anti-Samaritan Pilate becomes the anti-anti-demiurgist: Pilate wanted to kill the Samaritans (in the smell of anti-demiurgism), while he wanted to save the 'king of the Jews'.

The king-of-the-Jews is only an interpolation, as the original had Pilate condemn Jesus without any trial and reason given whatsoever.
Re: Simon Magus = Marcion: Who has suggested this?
- Simon the Samarian need not have been an "invented 'missing' link"
You note
ie. the narrative writers only need to have co-opted tropes or lore about Simon or other Samarian tropes
Dunno about this, though

It's too bad that Neil banished Secret Alias from this forum. No doubt he would have a wealth of data for Neil to follow-up on.

Re: Simon Magus = Marcion: Who has suggested this?
Are you sure? According to Jean Magne, 'king of Jews' figures in the question addressed by Pilate to Jesus in the oldest gospel (with Jesus answering without ambiguity: "I am") .schillingklaus wrote: ↑Fri Oct 07, 2022 10:15 pm The king-of-the-Jews is only an interpolation, as the original had Pilate condemn Jesus without any trial and reason given whatsoever.
This is the Judaizing signature, for Magne, proving that the oldest gospel was designed, in its same DNA, to prove that Jesus is the Jewish Christ.

Bayesian stuff can't do zilch for history, sacral or secular does not matter.
From J Magne LA CRUCIFIXION:
IV - Devant Pilate
Le texte du k&eacut;rygme a ét&eacut; conserv&eacut; par Mt/Mc:
> ...et Pilate, l'ayant fait flageller, le livra pour qu'il fût crucifi&eacut;.
tandis que Lc et Jn font livrer J&eacut;sus auz Juifs.
Une première addition à cette simple mention des faits a &eacut;t&eacut; le motif de la condamnation:
> Pilate l'interrogea <<Tu es le roi des Juifs?>> Il lui r&eacut;pondit: <<Tu le dis.>> (Et Pilate l'ayant fait flageller...)

Not sure why this is still going on. All dbz has to do is start a new o.p. on Bayes's theorem and we can address it there.dbz wrote: ↑Sat Oct 08, 2022 5:41 amYes, a complete and utter void of silence by the Jaunty "John T"!

Is this what they call trolling?
If so, perhaps Neil can post his troll cartoon again.
Just saying.

Has anyone written "On the Historicity of Simon Magus"?neilgodfrey wrote: ↑Wed Oct 05, 2022 7:08 pm Can anyone direct me to works that have raised the possibility that Simon Magus was a cipher for, or in some way confused with, Marcion?
Was Simon was a purely literary creation?
Or did Simon Magus "appear in the flesh" as an historical figure?
