Re: Markan Marcion: A Contrarian Synopsis
And here are those texts. (This doesn't make any real effort to distinguish what might be in the Gospel.) Mark Luke Matthew Thomas 3.1 In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea,... 1:21 And they went into Capernaum; and immediately on the sabbath ...

Re: Chrestians/Christians? Xristos and Xrhstos in NT and LXX
And then we have the marvellous nomen sacrum for XS in the LXX that is meant to convey the sense of 'anointed' and if on post with the Hebrew for Messiah, going by the MT - IIUC https://earlywritings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=151684#p151684 Καὶ ὁ ἱερεὺς ὁ μέγας ἀπὸ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ, τοῦ ἐπικεχυμέν...

Re: The Demiurge or Evil Creator God in the Evangelion
How many gazillion other examples of "two powers" exist around that time? Some please that involve powers of mercy and justice and aren't centrally fixated on the Bible. This is fucking stupid. It's telling enough that you still use the word Bible. How are mercy and justice not universal ...

Re: The Demiurge or Evil Creator God in the Evangelion
Why do I want this to be the case? Because my mother is Jewish? Really? How many Jews want Hitler to be Jewish because they are Jewish? But here goes anyway. 1. Marcion's two powers = Philo's two powers. Philo was the face of Judaism in Alexandria. Really? How exactly is that the case? How many gaz...

Re: The Demiurge or Evil Creator God in the Evangelion
As Marcion is Jewish (or Marcionism derives from Jewish thought) it would be surprising that the Devil would have a prominent role in the religion. I know that you want need that to be the case, but the very opposite is true Can you provide me with 3 main "Jewish" points in Marcion / Marc...

Re: The Ultimate Question With Patristic Commentary on the Marcionite Canon
Was Marcion's Evangelion violently suppressed and quite intentionally eradicated? If so, by Tertullian's time it may no longer have been available. That is an option and a likely possibility - yet the "Marcion-bashing" continues well into 400 CE and it seems unlikely that they couldn't ha...

Re: Klinghardt on ‘abolishing the Law & Prophets’

Re: The Demiurge or Evil Creator God in the Evangelion
Are there texts in any of the major recent reconstructions of the Evangelion (BeDuhn, Roth, Klinghardt) that clearly distinguish the Father to whom Jesus refers from the God of Israel of the Hebrew Bible/Jewish Scriptures/Old Testament, or distinguish Jesus' Father from the creator of the material ...

Re: Chrestians/Christians? Xristos and Xrhstos in NT and LXX
But love your enemies, do good [to them] , and lend [to them] , expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Or do you disregard the riches of His kindness , tolerance, and patience, not realizing th...

Re: Klinghardt on ‘abolishing the Law & Prophets’
did *Ev positively affirm, or deny, or merely evoke, the idea of Jesus abolishing the Law? does the Tertullian/Harnack consensus image of “Marcion” as enemy of Judaism and the Law hold water against the evidence of 23:2? does the Tertullian/Harnack consensus image of “Marcion” as “conservative” edi...
