Re: Another argument supporting Marcionite priority of *Ev over the Canonical Gospels

Why would you want to keep your mouth shut about the gospel? It's hard. We're blabbermouths by nature. We are addicted to forming flowcharts and schemes, strategies about things. THAT Irenaeus said that Marcion's gospel was Luke allows for all Tertullian's testimony to be absorbed into the "system" of the study of the four canonical gospels. THAT Matthew, Luke and John are forgeries of Mark still allows for the development of a "system." That's what we like. The four gospels although forgeries beckon us to create systems.
