The Tale Wagging The Dogma. Which "Mark" Wrote "Mark"? A Dear John Letter Part II
The Marks Brothers (of the Lord)
JW: I've decided to resurrect my Legendary Thread from the archives: The Tale Wagging The Dogma. Which "Mark" Wrote "Mark"? A Dear John Letter for two reasons: 1) The list of identified (by Christianity) "Marks" who wrote "Mark" continues to expand.The list of Markan candidates for "Mark" so far (in attempted chronological order): http://www.freeratio.org/thearchives...5&postcount=35 First "Mark" Source: Irenaeus Date: c. 180 Description: Follower and interpreter of Peter Author Source: Memory Authority: None Location: Unknown Second "Mark" Source: Eusebius referring to Clement Date: Eusebius c. 324, Clement c. 200 Description: Follower of Peter but not the Cephas (Peter) that Paul knew. Timing: Wrote while Peter was still alive. Author Source: Memory Authority: Request of Romans Location: Rome Third "Mark" (Glaucias) Source: Clement referring to Basilides Date: Eusebius c. 324, Clement c. 200 Author or at least source of information: Glaucias Description of "Mark": Interpreter of Peter Timing: Contemporary to orthodox claim of "Mark" as interpreter of Peter Author Source: Peter Authority: ? Fourth "Mark" Source: Eusebius referring to Clement Date: Eusebius c. 324, Clement c. 200 Description: Follower of Peter Timing: Wrote while Peter was still alive. Author Source: Memory Authority: Request of Romans Location: Rome Fifth "Mark" Source: Eusebius referring to Origen Date: Eusebius c. 324, Origen c. 230 Description: Follower of Peter Timing: Wrote while Peter was still alive. Author Source: Peter Authority: Peter Location: Rome Sixth "Mark" Source: Jerome Date: c. 400 Author: Peter Description of "Mark": Scribe Timing: Wrote while Peter was still alive. Author Source: Peter Authority: Peter Location: Rome Seventh "Mark" Source: Augustine Date: c. 400 Author: Mark Description of "Mark": Follower of Peter Timing: Wrote after "Matthew" and before "Luke" Author Source: "Matthew" Authority: ? Location: ? Eighth "Mark" Source: Hippolytus/Fake Hippolytus Date: c. 202 - c. 19th century (We'll see how the Assertian fits the timelieon at the end) Author: Mark Description of "Mark": Disciple of Jesus Timing: Wrote while Peter was still alive. Author Source: Jesus Authority: Peter Location: Rome So many "Marks" and "Peters". How do you decide which is the source, Rock, Papals, Caesars? And we now have a new Markan candidate for "Mark" thanks to the recent Thread here: Acts of Mark Quote:
Ninth "Mark" Source: Acts of Mark Date: ? Author: ? Description of "Mark": Disciple of Jesus Timing: ? Author Source: ? Authority: ? Location: ? Note that based on description, "Disciple of Jesus", the dating placement would be after Augustine, c. 400. Joseph Church Tradition, n. A mysterious entity that unlike Jesus who was only able to incarnate once, can be magically incarnated at an Apologist's whim to support Christian assertian as reliable and undisputed evidence and than disincarnate just as quickly as only the word of men and not Scripture when it goes against Christian assertian.

You forgot Eusebius referring to Papias.
Eusebius quotes from Papias on the Gospel of Mark in Hist. Eccl. iii. 39 as follows: Quote:
PS I voted whatever spin says wrote gMark. |

Again. A poll that lacks "NONE OF THE ABOVE".
The name 'Mark' only got stuck on this Gospel much latter by people that barely knew their rectums from a hole in the ground. (But your point is well made Joe.  )
