While Luke, Matthew and John have dubious connections to the gospels that bear their names, Mark is a distinct possibility for being the author of the gospel that bears his name.
But that's not the real issue. Do you think that whoever wrote the gospel according to Mark was not a Christian? What was he? |

Logically this claim may be true or it may be false. I for one reject the notion that this claim is necessarily true. Let the assessment and investigation of this claim continue .... εὐδαιμονία | eudaimonia |

A Hellenistic Proselyte of Judaism. In this time they are often reffered to as Jewish Christians. I like proto-christians more so, because many of these people were probably Proselytes to Judaism |

There is absolutely no corroborative evidence whatsoever from antiquity that the author of the story in the short-ending gMark was a member of a Jesus cult, intended to start a new religion, or wanted people of antiquity to start a new religion.
The Gospel in the story by the author of the short ending gMark was that the Kingdom of God was at Hand. In gMark, Jesus did NOT preach he was Christ, the Lamb of God, who would be sacrificied for the Sins of all mankind. In gMark Jesus merely preached the Gospel--the Good News--the Kingdom of God is at hand. The very same thing is found in the book of Daniel. Daniel 7 Quote:

It was the very opposite. The author appears to have believed the world was coming to an end. The author appears to believe that Jesus would come for the ELECT. Mark 13 Quote:
