Do you have a list of the verses in Mark which you can connect with texts from the Hebrew scriptures? What fraction of the verses in Mark have you found such links for?

Malachi151

Here is one post I started on it:

I haven't done much more than that lately as I haven't had time.

Well, that's only one chapter of Mark. And even in that chapter you haven't linked every verse, or nearly every verse, to the Hebrew Scriptures. (I suppose you might say that you have linked every 'passage', but in that case we need some discussion of what constitutes a 'passage'.)

This doesn't mean you're wrong. You may be right for anything I know. But there's a long way to go to establish your case.

What's more, I can't help wondering how you got the idea that nearly every passage of Mark is based on the Hebrew Scriptures if it wasn't from an examination of every passage in Mark. It's an interesting suggestion, and I don't say it can't be true, but what gave you the idea?

Malachi151

Well, there is also this:

Still doesn't cover the bulk of Mark.

I'm not saying that you couldn't do it. I haven't read closely all your examples, so I'm not judging them, but purely quantitatively you haven't yet dealt with the bulk of Mark.

Malachi151

I agree. But from what I have looked at I think that it is the case.

Damn! I thought this was a thread about a catholic priest!
