this is all very interesting especially the classic quotes in corinthians and acts
but.... too much information!

there needs to be a concordance to easily look up which passages have classic parallels otherwise it's impossible to get a clear picture

I'm glad to here it! I like to know why i'm confused but it's not a feminist theory if you think that's what happened though and they all stole off her and didn't attribute, that happens. someone that opposes feminism isn't going to come up with a theory like that but it doesn't mean only someone t...

Everything's fine, Martin. That was also meant to be a little ironic. Nevertheless, there are currently many who are developing theories according to which the original is exactly what they particularly like. And I'll stick with it that it would be exactly the same, if I were to develop some femini...

i do assume that a tiny sprinkle of verses in the epistles were added, acknowledging David yes

i don't count Romans 9:4-5 as being Davidic though
you found one in Romans 1:3 and there's one more somewhere between Romans and Jude

KK Martijn's proposal is the opposite of superstition, he claims it based on analytical methods. it's exactly what I wanted to hear

It's at lea...

there seem slightly more Chrestos references than Christos

I don't want to dwell on this for too long since that is a habit I am trying not to repeat. I will concede the more direct reading is spurious and stick with the mainstream one in which I don't really have anything more to say about that. From a base reading it seems to indicate to me that the Odes...

If Titus is an example of Marcionism it is pure Hellenism. No scripture quotes nothing Jewish or Samaritan. All I see with Marcion is a rejection of Judaism as superstition. That is the general attitude. That's not Samaritan, it's Hellenism. I think Samaritan influences could be in the mix but not t...

The Marcionites were necessarily an offshoot of Samaritanism and their rejection of Judaism must have a similar origin. the marcionites seem like extreme Hellenists and rejected Judaism because they were elitist a bit like how i've seen evangelical american christians reject eastern orthodox christ...
