So I am a "total idiot" for rejecting your preconceptions about an entirely hypothetical scenario?

So the Jews/"Judiazers"...

Wrote of themselves as rejecting their Christ in favour of a murderer named Barabbas...

... then had the wherewithal to write that the Romans executed their messiah as a means to circumvent their original rejection of him...

... even though, had they the machinations and and abilities that you say they would have...

... the scene would have been Jesus being stoned by the Jews, and not crucified by the Romans, as those who execute the Christ are those who accept him as such.

When the centurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe and said, “Truly this was the Son of God!”

The Romans are the one's who accepts Christ as the saviour. Not the Jews.

There is no logic to you. Just a stream of consciousness of inane ramblings.
In a Marcionite universe, the Jews kill (by using Pilate) a Christ-who-is-not-their-Christ. Basically, they kill an alien.
In Marcion's theology, Chrestus never came down to earth.

But now Pilate is a ploy of the Marcionites, and not the Judiazers? Make up your fucking mind.
You can't ignore this difference between a Jewish victim and an alien. But you ignore this because you are a total troll without even a bit of intelligence.
I ignore your insane and incoherent babblings.

The scapegoat isn't killed. It is released into the wilderness.

Do you know anything about Torah?
But what logic is this?But do you realize that you are totally idiot, here?
The guy who speaks in a language he clearly doesn't understand and makes numerous grammatical errors has no right calling others an idiot.
Barabbas is morally evil. Isaac (as the goat released into wilderness of Leviticus 16) is not morally evil.
Irrelevant. Your moral quandaries mean nothing.

But keep this mind, Giuseppe...

"Barabbas is morally evil."

Hence why the Jews choosing him were seen as evil by later Christians.

You have no consistency. You're only interest is proving your own bullshit ideas, to hell with reason and logic!

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 can't use Paul as evidence of later Gnostic thought.
Which is funny because that's precisely what you use him for.

Paul's Marcionite edition basically disproves everything you've ever said regarding Marcion.

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.
this is another fake news about yourself, since you talked about a nebulous "Gospel of Hebrews", not about proto-John, as first gospel.

If I may add my own speculative dates:

Neo-Targum, 80-100 ad
Ur-Evangelium, 120-130 ad
Ur-John, 125-140 ad
Ur-Paul, 125-140 ad
Gospel of James, 125-135
Gospel of the Hebrews, 130-140 ad
Secret Mark, 130-145 ad

What's more, the entirety of John 3:1-15 is an allusion to the eclipse of 118 ad, which Marcion was a witness of.
John 3:1-15 is an allusion to the eclipse of 118 ad
I will add here only that the reason for my earlier reluctance of placing Ur-John prior to Gospel of the Hebrews/Ebionites was due to not knowing exactly what the motivation of Hebrews was, while Ur-John had a definite motivation that I could accurately pin. Understanding that Hebrews follows the theme of transmigration, and it's emphasis of James, cleared the smoke away, and it could not be any earlier than 130 ad.
Go with your Lukuas to Cyrene. It is a better place for you than this forum. :D
Okay?

I want to nail Joseph D.L. on this precise error made by him:
Joseph D. L. wrote: Sat Feb 01, 2020 3:06 am
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, and 3) it can't be anti-Marcion because it portrays Jews as rejecting their messiah. Again, you are failing to understand that basic premise, even when your argument is necessitated on it. THE JEWS STILL DEMAND THE RELEASE OF BARABBAS OVER THEIR CHRIST, WHOM THEY HAVE REJECTED.
This is the greatest bullshit I have heard in this forum from day 1 of the my subscription:

it can't be anti-Marcion because it portrays Jews as rejecting their messiah

A Gospel where the Jews kill their "King of Jews" (with or without Pilate doesn't matter: therefore don't elude the point) is not, not, not, not, absolutely NOT a Marcionite Gospel.
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, which the Marcionites would have picked up in a heart beat, according to you, to show just how violent and bloodthirsty their God was.

Can you even read? You don't even follow your own theories.
If you continue to deny this pure and sane evidence, then I will procede to ignore totally you by reserving only contempt on you. Without even need of showing it.
Please get hit by a bus.
I am disposed to kiss the ass of a historical Jesus, rather than concede that precise point to you.
You can kiss whatever you want. You'd still be wrong, and Jesus would still be historical.

Bye bye!!! :wave: :wave: :wave: :wave:

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.

I insist: Sinope is not in Judea.

Stupid, Turmel believed that a disciple of Marcion composed proto-John, making Marcion himself the Paraclete. You can't talk about what you don't say.

In addition, you confirm again and again the sound truth of the following my quote addressed to you:

Neo-Targum and Ur-Evangelium (all bullshit by you) are precisely what I mean by using the generic name of "Gospel of Hebrews". So you can't say that ur-John is first when for you a Jewish bullshit as your Neo-Targum would come before Ur-John.

That is a stupid fool astrotheology worthy of the worse Acharya. :tombstone:
You are a mere fool astrotheologist as Robert Tulip, as Pier Tulip, as Acharya.

Not only an astrotheologist, but even a Buddhist. Again: GO DISTANT.

And don't dirty my thread with your continue bullshits worthy of a troll.

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 Jews who have interest to judaize a gentile deity (because, de facto, the Marcion's Christ is a gentile deity).
  • The Jews are banal Jews who have no interest to judaize something that is not Jewish.

Can you even read? You are totally unable to understand me. You are a total idiot. GO DISTANT.

Then they weren't Judiazers. Call them what they are, proto-Catholics.

And just like the Marcionites, they dependent wholeheartedly on Jewish texts, meaning that they were only haters of the Jews as a people, but not as a religion, as, again, Justin Martyr gives testament to when he says that Christians are perfected Israelites.

No, he wasn't. Haven't you spent page after page going on about how Paul believed a celestial crucifixion? Or, in your own language, "outer space"? And what is Paul if not Marcion's favourite Apostle? Then if it's true for Paul, it's true for Marcion. And Marcion accepted that Paul was the Paraclete, and that Chrestus COULD NEVER descend into the material realm.
