Maybe it is you who should cut the CRAPPY RHETORIC?

Why you ask? You think Christianity will be destroyed once the WRITTEN EVIDENCE of antiquity is PRESENTED?

It is Matthew 1.18-20, Matthew 4.1-11, Mark 6.49, Mark 9.2, Luke 1.26-35, Mark 16.6, Luke 24, Acts 1.9, and Galatians 1.1-12 that have ALREADY destroyed Christianity.

CHRISTIANS REJECT THEIR OWN BIBLE. CHRISTIANS REJECT THE WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THEIR JESUS.

CHRISTIANITY HAS DESTROYED ITSELF WITH ITS OWN WRITTEN EVIDENCE.

I wish you the best of luck.

Maybe what??? You don't know what you are talking about.

Matthew 1.18-20 and Luke 1.26-35 is written evidence that the Gospels are Ghost stories.

And Sinaiticus MARK shows that the books of the ENTIRE CANON were WRITTEN AFTER the Fall of the Temple.

I am referring to your bombastic style and - well - odd choice of points to quibble about, which make you unpleasant to deal with. Very frequently, they are so off the wall that most of us have to scratch our heads trying to figure out your point.

Now I'll give you your due that you do put quite a bit of research into your posts, but that is overshadowed by your need to shout down whoever disagrees with you, or posts something you disagree with, in CAPS or bizzarre fonts, as if it is a matter of life and death.

And what's this preoccupation you have with "ghosts". Maybe you have got too close with the local "Hoo-doo"? (said while looking anxiously around and doing my best imitation of the Skipper in this one episode of Gilligan's Island)

Why do you have to EXPOSE your CONTRADICTIONS?

You know that I do A LOT of HOMEWORK before I post. I just PRESENT the WRITTEN EVIDENCE from antiquity.

This is MY POSITION as of now: The BOOKS of the ENTIRE NT CANON are AFTER the writing of the SINAITICUS type MARK, AFTER the fall of the Temple c70 CE and that gLuke, Acts of the Apostles and the Pauline writings are AFTER the writing of the 2000 word argument in "Against Heresies" 2.22, AFTER 180 CE.

I DO QUITE A BIT OF RESEARCH BEFORE I POST.

I AM preoccupied with RESEARCHING the WRITTEN EVIDENCE of antiquity, you seem to be preoccupied with Chinese Whispers and your imagination.

The codex sinaiticus is one of the most important books in the world and it well deserves your loving attention, I agree.

Imagine, this is a page from a book written well over 1600 years ago!!





PS- I like your style and the quality of your research.

PS- The Codex Vaticanus Mark ALSO ends at Mark 16.8. It is INTERNALLY corroborated that there was NO GOOD NEWS of the resurrection AFTER the Fall of the Temple.

The history of the Church, the Pauline writings, Acts of the Apostles, the very Gospels are Historically Bogus based on SINAITICUS and VATICANUS "bad news" Mark.

SINAITICUS and VATICANUS Mark ARE NOT GOSPELS they are BAD NEWS.

Takes my breath away. Thanks for that URL.

Yes, Mark ends as you say, but it is of no importance. Professor Dale martin has an interesting explanation in his Yale lectures on the Greek Testament.
I don’t speak ‘gospelian’, for me it is only a sound or letters without any emotional undertone.

Pagan Rome was not nice, and being a shudra in Brahmanism is not nice and Chinese coolies did not much enjoy the wisdom of Confucius....

New Testament scholars have a great advantage over classical scholars in the number of manuscripts available to them; I suppose that is good news even for you.

PS. Irenaeus had been privileged to begin his Christian training under Polycarp, a disciple of the apostles.

He was the first to state four Gospels as canon. In addition to the Gospels, Irenaeus made reference to Acts, 1 Peter, 1 John, all the letters of Paul except Philemon, and the book of Revelation. For Irenaeus, the authority of “the faith” was established through the direct line of elders in the church back to the apostles.

Thank you.
