			gMark is the perfect HJ argument killer. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	HJers claim that their HJ of Nazareth was LIED upon and Embellished by his own disciples but when gMark is EXAMINED it was the Complete opposite. The claims by HJers are unsubstantiated. On the day Jesus died in gMark his disciples had ALREADY abandoned him and Peter, who INITIALLY claimed Jesus was Christ, DENIED IN PUBLIC and MULTIPLE TIMES that he ever knew Jesus. In gMark, Jesus, even if assumed to be human, did many MARVELOUS miracles, FED thousands, walked on water, and TRANSFIGURED but on the day he was arrested his disciples FLED and Peter denied him. There is ZERO evidence in gMark that the disciples of Jesus embellished him AFTER he was ARRESTED and died. There is written evidence of DENIAL and ABANDONMENT in gMark. There is ZERO evidence in gMark that the visitors to the tomb embellished Jesus AFTER his body was MISSING from the tomb. There is written evidence that the visitors FLED DUMBSTRUCK and did NOT say anything to anyone. The Jesus story in Sinaiticus gMark, even if assumed to be history, ENDED in ABANDONMENT, DENIALS, and REJECTION. gMark is the PERFECT HJ argument killer.  |

 I’m not sure how that changes anything. My point was that those verses do not demand that the GOSPEL have a resurrection motif.  |

 (And I am not claiming that anyone actually ever taught anything at all; as this appears to be complete fiction.)  |

 You must certainly care about what the others reading this forum must think of you. The real issue is what should a neutral observer conclude about you, when they can see that the assurances you proffer are no better than that of a lowly internet clown. Right?  |

 Now if Matthew was comfortable with Mark’s depiction then why did he change it? And why should John or Matthew even count at all when we are considering Mark 16:4?  |
