Re: External evidence that (Matthew and) canonical Luke comes after *Ev
Jarek, yes the gospels were ignored in writings known to have existed after the gospels existed (eg pastorals) and so too that applies to the earlier epistles, this is the way the gospels can be seen as being the earlier writings (or at least the 'earlier gospels, and their sources, are earlier than...

Re: Reconstructing the original story of Paul
Randy, I will not comment on that specific unfortunate translation but RG is always telling us "it's all about Paul guys" I don't buy it. He appears out of nowhere and suddenly he's everywhere, but earlier he's absent and no-one's ever heard of him. I think he's not there at the beginning ...

Re: Gospel priority
ok Ken we'll just have to wait and see, The main question here is over the Ev gospel (which I think is not automatically "Marcionite") and whether it's lurking in Luke or not. i read Kloppenborg's response to Goodacre (in this case he's only defending Q) and all this is good stuff from bot...

Re: Reconstructing the original story of Paul
can I just say I don't agree with this
rolling out the red carpet for Paul to claim the whole thing, gospels the whole lot it's all him
i mean, is Paul paying you to write this?

Re: Gospel priority
I'm not wanting to dispense with the theory of fatigue at all, it's simple. We get a list of the examples of fatigue Then someone explains how they best show Markan priority which Goodacre has done Then someone else explains how they best show Evangelion/Lukan priority As a consumer I'd like a choic...

Re: How should the “rollercoaster” phrase in Romans 10:6-8 be understood?
i'm open to being wrong here i just want to be sure Hebrews "To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again". The idea that certain actions cause the mystery to be done again (negatively) is found here. Unfortunately I don't think this thought occurs in the epistles anywhe...

Re: Gospel priority
ok, this is the alternative explanation: * Thomas or something like it (I'm generous) is original * Ev which precedes Luke wishes to incorporate the pre-existing parables (which must precede the writing of Ev in any case) * Ev lacked the interpretation of the parable originally, the interpretation w...

Re: How should the “rollercoaster” phrase in Romans 10:6-8 be understood?
Baley good theory but the "do not ask" part are you sure this not representing questioning who gets to go to heaven/who is saved? this question appears a few times in scripture - because it mentions following of the law brings salvation in the 1st verse quoted, then represents the question...

Re: Gospel priority
Have you read Mark Goodacre's 'Fatigue in the Synoptics" or his introductory book: The Synoptic Problem: A Way Through the Maze, which has a section on the argument from fatigue? It doesn't sound like you have grasped the argument or why it would be convincing to anyone. You're just saying tha...

Re: How should the “rollercoaster” phrase in Romans 10:6-8 be understood?
I understand the confusion and what you must be going through - you have, after all, tried to make sense of Romans it seems to address quibbling over who gets to be "saved" within the community over various disagreements and the author is reprimanding saying that's like re-enacting the mys...
