Re: Comments on Handwriting Analysis and the Mar Saba Letter
Perhaps if you could pick a *specific* aspect of the text which Anastasopoulou or Brown disagree with him, and show how Tselikas's arguments to the contrary are more persuasive? Most just provide a brief dismissive comment and then offer their opinions. The reply above (to which Randy is responding...

Re: The Temptation Story in Mark is anti-marcionite
Conversation goes completely stale because you have nothing valid to say.
You keep saying invalid things, which are essentially the same things already said.

Re: The Temptation Story in Mark is anti-marcionite
In whiletime Peter Kirby continues to ignore the Klinghardt's argument above (that Mark 1:11 is revealing the identity of Jesus as son of a specific god: YHWH). It's not even properly an argument, as it doesn't lead from true premises in a sound way to a conclusion. It's just a claim. I can write &...

The Gospel of Truth calls God the Father-Mother as a fundamental aspect of its theology.
