For that you will have to get hold of some of our Greek experts on FRDB. I'm only dealing with the results of the discussion...

Perhaps have a look through the whole thread on 1 Cor.15.

I can understand why some people might call aa5874 a “one-trick-pony.” But his trick (his arguments for the non-existence of Paul) are so compelling that it’s hard to understand why people like Doherty ignore them.

The best explanation that I can think of is that Doherty is ‘locked in’ to his earlier publications and can’t backtrack.
Please, I do NOT present tricks just Evidence, Evidence, Evidence...........Sources, Sources, Sources of antiquity.

Now, As you have observed Doherty has ALREADY written books based on an Early Paul. Quite logically, Doherty cannot ever accept or agree that Paul was a LATE writer, AFTER the Short-Ending gMark, After the Long-Ending gMark, After gMatthew and AFTER the Fall of the Jewish Temple unless he recants or discredits his own writings.

Now, if Jesus was crucified in the Sub-Lunar it is clear that the author of gMark did NOT use or did NOT KNOW of the Pauline letters since he placed Jesus in Galilee and Judea who was crucified under Pilate and buried in a tomb belonging to Joseph.


Mark 15
Quote:
43Joseph of Arimathaea...... went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.

44And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead : and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead .

45And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.

46 And he bought fine linen, and took him down , and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre....
How is it even logical that gMark could be Canonised with and used the Pauline writings if Jesus was crucified in the Sub-Lunar?

I have seen tricksters and clowns do things that I thought could not have ever happened. And to this day I don't know how they pulled it off.

Does any anyone here know how to make things appear from nowhere???

Has this method of finding two voices been applied elsewhere in the epistles?

You need Greek for that - and I don't have it. So I have to rely on those who have Greek. And, no, I'm unaware of any attempt to take this two voice idea any further on FRDB. Elsewhere - with scholars running with the NT historical 'Paul' idea - I would imagine they are comfortable with their own conclusions.

You mean "Presumptions"!!! There is no corroborative source from non-apologetic sources to conclude there was an early voice of Paul.

It was gMark that had the EARLIEST voice and it was heard AFTER the Fall of the Temple c 70 CE by all the authors of the NT Canon.

The very Church claimed Paul "heard" the Voice of gLuke and we know the author of gLuke used gMark.

.....Concerning the four Gospels which alone are uncontroverted in the Church of God under heaven, I have learned by tradition that the Gospel according to Matthew......was written first........ The second written was that according to Mark....... And third, was that according to Luke, the Gospel commended by Paul, which he composed for the converts from the Gentiles. Last of all, that according to John....

Bull-shit on all of that Greeksky Hellenization horse-shit.
It is the Hebrew language and its ancient tropes and traditions that people remain so damn ignorant of that they fall all over themselves in falling for all of that high-sounding fabricated Greek linguistic jingoistic horse-shit.

"There are two kinds of people - Greeks, and everyone else who wish they was Greek.
.....Give me a word, any word and I show you how the root is Greek."

Get a clue. The ancient world actually held ancient cultures that were NOT based on Greek language, were decidedly NOT Greek, and held words and concepts that Greek speakers and language actually had little grasp of, or any linguistic ability to convey.

For what -you need to know-, you don't need to know even -one single word- of the Greek language.

No. The Pauline letters do not contain much in the way of narrative or other attributes of fiction. If you wanted to flesh out a character, you would write something very different from the letters.

Additionally, the character of Paul in the letters does not flesh out the character in Acts, but contradicts it.

This is not to say that that letters are what they appear to be. The best guess I have seen is that they were theological essays written in the form of letters (just as CS Lewis wrote The Screwtape Letters.)

Sorry but I don’t understand this because I’m confused by the phrase ‘from the gospels’.

What do you mean ‘from the gospels’?

Could you rephrase it?
Sorry - I meant from the epistles. A slip of the keyboard.

'Yes and no' in, that it is the analytic form of 'wholistic expression' that makes wisdom portable but requires insight first to comprehend. I took Greek but forgot the alphabet.
