Re: Gospel muteness as evidence of anti-marcionism

Cool—-can you tell me how it is even possible to leave the Beatitudes on the cutting room floor? Ev priority over Mark solves a lot of problems, but I just can see anybody taking a razor blade to the Beatitudes. How is that even possible?

Re: Gospel muteness as evidence of anti-marcionism

Another evidence of Markan antifeminism and anti-marcionism:

the episode of the Peter’s mother-in-law being healed by Jesus (so that she could "wait on them") was designed to legitimize married apostles (in contrast to Marcionite celibacy).

The greatest enemies are the internal enemies in your own camp. The external enemy is the reason for our ennoblement and glory. The enemy within is the cause of our shame. Terribly true. If it's such a terrible truth, why do you describe Marcion with the voice of his bitter enemies? my comment was ...

Re: Couchoud's 'Is Marcion's Gospel One of the Synoptics?'
