I don't understand why you don't show minimal respect at least for my highly serious view that Barabbas is a caustic parody of the Christ of Marcion. Because it's wrong and I don't agree with it, yet you act as if it is the Gospel truth and treat anyone who disagrees with contempt. That's the one t...

you are a total idiot. No scholar would agree with your views. There are more mythicists in academy of the kind I like , than a scholar who would make Marcion a Jew. https://books.google.com/books?id=9EIqDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT116&dq=Marcion+literalist&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&s...

Your contention makes zero sense. I wasn't even talking about Pilate or the crucifixion, but the Jews rejecting their Christ in favour of Barabbas So, according to you, a proto-Catholic Christ is still a 100% Jewish Christ ? You ignore the difference between Judaizers and Jews. The Judaizers are Je...

My knowledge of Turmel is limited because I can't read French. My assumption (incorrect) was that he believed Marcion composed the first Gospel, and that it was Johannine. Stupid, Turmel believed that a disciple of Marcion composed proto-John, making Marcion himself the Paraclete. You can't talk ab...

no, he was, if "anti-Jewish" means that he combated YHWH and his adorers. Which he didn't do. He accepted Torah as literal history, and YHWH as the literal creator of the universe. His theology was centered around the God of the celestial Temple, Elohim. you are a total idiot. No scholar ...

No, you are even unable to understand what I say. Differently from another user who shows a perfect knowedge of the my view . To be perfectly honest I don't try to understand what you say, because even the bits I do understand I utterly reject. If you disagree with me but at least you show knowledg...

Anyone calling themselves a gnostic is someone who failed history.

As for authorities? I don't believe in such things.

What's funny is that a case can be made that YHWH and Horus was both seen as a demiurgos, as they were both conflated to create Abraxas.

The issue here is that Abraxas wasn't seen as evil or malevolent, but beneficial and a god of healing.

But Giuseppe would never admit to that.

You should actually read Bonner's article. He writes that these amulets mean the exact opposite of what you are claiming. https://www.jstor.org/stable/1353880?seq=1 https://spectator.imgix.net/content/uploads/2015/10/artsfeat3.jpg?auto=compress,enhance,format&crop=faces,entropy,edges&fit=cro...

I want to nail Joseph D.L. on this precise error made by him: I don't see an objection in this. The Jews crucified their Christ. This is still anti-marcionite in nature. Is not it? No, it isn't, as 1) Marcion was Jewish in his theological structure, 2) the Romans are the ones who crucify Christ, an...
