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 ...

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...

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?

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Luke omits the part of the parable where the seed sprang up quickly because it lacked depth of soil. However, he still provides an interpretation for that part of the parable! Where Mark’s seed on the rock withered “because it had no root”, Luke changes the reason to be that “it withered for lack o...
