Re: According to Irenaeus, who were the Gnostics?
one problem is the gnostic texts in the NHL library fail to hat-tip Simon at all as their founder, and on the contrary some are seen to oppose him outright so far i've not seen anything that supports interpreting Simon as the founder of Gnosticism and that is not necessarily contra Irenaeus or the o...

Re: Is *Ev a source of the Gospel of the Ebionites?
In what way does Acts "judaize" Paul? Paul calls himself a Jew (Gal. 2:15: "We who are Jews by birth") and was willing to be Torah observant around Jews (1 Cor. 9:5: "To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law -t...

Re: Flaw with Marcion priority theory?
Chrestus looks like a non-Jewish version of Wisdom I think the XS of the gospels is the power Jesus encounters and works with and the idea Jesus actually is XS was a slightly later development, and the epistles are located in this later stratum. The only problem is, it's utterly against the consensu...

Re: Is *Ev a source of the Gospel of the Ebionites?
If so it's better to think of *Ev as a common gospel and not a Marcionite gospel, but one everyone made use of which fits the idea Marcion adopted it into his canon and didn't write it this is a general outline, we don't know exactly what was in it unfortunately i doubt its possible to know even bas...

Re: "Q" comes form Marcion
TL;DR version: The Evangelion contains Double Tradition material. So what? It also contains Triple Tradition and Special Lukan material. which is what *ev prioritists see as the other gospels drawing from *ev you mention in a previous post the theory Marcion adopted a gospel that wasn't specificall...

Re: Meaning of Nazareth?
careful with 'gnostic' i mean, it isn't just gnostics that held to deeper 'inner truths' being important (i'd argue sometimes they appear just as 'religious' as the orthodox but in the opposite direction). even Thomas isn't gnostic but your point is a good one, did Matthew try to steer away from thi...
