Can I be excused from writing more "polemic"?
I'm going to see a movie.

Re: Markan Marcion: A Contrarian Synopsis
Surely the default presumption is that a purported line-by-line commentary of Marcion's gospel actually is a line-by-line commentary of Marcion's gospel I have previously discussed these presumptions and no. I'm sorry, but, "no" to what? Also, did you discuss these somewhere in this (wond...

Re: Markan Marcion: A Contrarian Synopsis
I'm revisiting this, now a week later, after looking more widely both at Origen's writings and the context of the Commentary on John . I would like to put this reading to use by providing some comments that can help contextualize the passage we've been talking about. In the interim, I have read this...

Re: Origen's interesting ideas
Origen's discussion here in Commentary on John is longer than what I just quoted: (40) And that which John calls an eternal gospel, which would properly be called a spiritual gospel, clearly presents both the mysteries presented by Christ's words and the things of which his acts were symbols, to tho...

Re: Jesus' home in Capernaum?
Surely spin will dine with Ben C. Smith in elysium together with Kunigunde, Ken, Andrew, and all the saints.
Or something like that.

Re: Origen's interesting ideas
This sounds like more on similar themes from Origen. Commentary on John 1.40 And that which John calls an eternal gospel, which would properly be called a spiritual gospel, clearly presents both the mysteries presented by Christ's words and the things of which his acts were symbols, to those who con...

Pseudonymous but spin's been around for some 20 or so years and has brought forward some good stuff in that time.RandyHelzerman wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2024 4:46 pm I tend to agree with this random person on the internet

Re: Litwa on Marcion as ancient Mythicist
Metaphorically speaking, you are a philosopher arguing with the zeal of a Saint Paul, on fire for the good news. *chuckle* Except the wisdom I share isn't just foolishness to this world, its foolishness toot court. As such, I think your remarks were too deep for me; don't quite get what you mean. A...

Re: Litwa on Marcion as ancient Mythicist
But the Talmud placed Jesus under Janneus. The Jesus lived under Pilate was a myth, according to that Talmudic tradition. Don't quite follow the reasoning here. The Talmud asserts that Jesus *actually existed*-in our historical spacetime--yet, because they got the dates wrong, they are Mythicists? ...

Re: Comments on Handwriting Analysis and the Mar Saba Letter
I am not persuaded that nobody has been surprised by this book. *chuckle* come on man. Nobody was surprised by this book qua an uncatalogued book. If it would be so surprising to find uncatalogued books at Mar Saba---why did Morton Smith even want to go there? Why would they even have given him per...
