Did the Author of Acts Know About Paul's Letters?

Secret Mark and reports of a (personified) πάντ’ αἶνον (or 'Pantainos' who in turn is associated with an ur-gospel albeit 'Matthew') or a Diatessaron associated with Alexandria (and Ammonius Sacca) is the starting point. Alexandria is always left off the orthodox map this is another starting point.

I know what every single one of those words means. I have no idea what the whole means.

All separate reports about the same ur-gospel of Mark developed preserved at Alexandria.

Look how elusive Clement is personifying 'Epiphanes' from Irenaeus's text. He gives a descriptive adjective an entire life story and bio developed from a moon festival. Very clever. Pantainos is another of these tricks. The only tangible evidence for 'Pantainos's existence is a lost gospel alleged to have been preserved in India. Nice coincidence. What is it Clement says? Deny its existence even at the point of swearing or something like that. What is it the Philosophema says about the Markan heretics - deny, deny, they always deny or something like that. That's how we crypto-religionists survive. It was only recently that all the Sabbataeans were outed in Turkey. I met a Sabbataean at a convention in Orlando once. He was surprised I knew what he was. He presented himself as just a Turkish owner of malls and attractions. Need to have Jewdar and gaydar in showbiz.

There is a lot more to what we know of Mark and possible Ur-Marks than what Clement tells us. Why is a purported word game of his the starting point?

Do you know how many black girlfriends would argue with me that Will Smith and Jada whatever her name is were gay. Oh my god. The kiss in Six Degrees was too real. And that movie where Jada plays Queen Latifah's love interest too. They're not that good at acting.

Sorry about that last comment. Well once someone is lying you just have to go through all the other inconsistencies. And remember I am not writing a formal article. I am just engaging in the academic equivalent of 'Will Smith and Jada are gay.' You don't have to play along if you don't want to.

The association with Scientology people and fake events (to bolster Tom Cruise's career back in the day) was another give away. Ambition must have brought Will Smith to one of their 'de-gaying' programs (like Tom Cruise and John Travolta). But then they keep your 'audits' and you can't leave. Word on the street is that that's why they got Cruise and Travolta by the cajones. Like Hotel California.

I use the gay thing as examples of secret societies among us.

Back to seriousness.

Cause that's what we do. Think of all the double entendres that you used to have to go through to express vulgar concepts on TV or whatever. A close parallel is saying 'Flo is coming to visit' to explain your menstrual cycle is starting. We used to have a whole personified code system for drug use back in the day. 'Herb' for weed. 'Sid' for acid. Stuff like that. I had a friend who invented a medical term for blue balls - MSB - just to make his girlfriend understand he wanted some. It's just what humans do when they can't express an idea.
