Re: Carrier - Goodacre conversation on the historicity of Jesus
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?'
You should look at Klinghardt more carefully: this a fallacy of the distinction without a real difference. What could be the " good gifts " sent by the Father, if not the " holy spirit " and its benefits? The my points remains all, i.e. that current versions of Canonical Luke ha...

Re: Carrier - Goodacre conversation on the historicity of Jesus
I prefer the approach of the late pastor from the Old March, Hermann Detering, whom Carrier constantly criticizes in his last book , Detering argues for a pre-Christian cult of Jesus too. The problem, if you move the epistles in the second century, is that there is a total fifty-fifty between histo...

Re: Gospel muteness as evidence of anti-marcionism
To introduce "women" as witnesses of a crucial fact was equivalent to introduce blind and silent witnesses for that fact. An ant could have more authority. Mark is saying that not only ants witnessed the empty tomb, but they were even crushed en passant. Absolute silence about the fact is ...

Re: Couchoud's 'Is Marcion's Gospel One of the Synoptics?'
They occur in two manuscripts of Luke (from the 11th and 12th centuries), isn't that a strong clue that the request “Father, let thy holy Spirit come upon us and purify us" was introduced only later in Canonical Luke since the logical breaking with ' how much more will the heavenly Father give...

Re: Peter Schäfer on the origin of the accusation against Jesus of being a Samaritan
Apparently, even before John 8:48, the accusation of being a Samaritan impostor dates back to the oldest gospel, since in *Ev the Parable of the Good Samaritan and *Ev 9:51-56: 51 As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. 52 And he sent messenge...

Secret Mark and the Loisy's Argument from Queerness against the Marcionite incipit
Loisy : In any case the descent from heaven to Capernaum is queer rather than impressive. If the Argument from Queerness has to be applied to prove that the Marcionite incipit has to be based on a previous Gospel, then accordingly the same Argument from Queerness has to be applied to prove that Mar...
