Then IF the Jesus of GMark was not the davidic messiah (or atoning savior) to the author of GMark, then just WHO was this Jesus character who is featured so big in an entire gospel and what is his actual role as far as the original author of GMark is concerned??!

Maurice Casey argues that the phrase could be self-referential circumlocution in Aramaic idiom to indicate embarrassment, maybe something akin to "yours truly." (whoops, the son of man just let one go), which (Casey contends) has led to confusion about how Jesus sometimes uses it, but it was never titular or Messianic. It just means "person," or maybe sometimes "this guy."
In the short gMark story Jesus looked LIKE an ordinary person to the OUTSIDERS but in the Night he was WALKING on water in the presence of the Insiders.

Mark 6:48 KJV
Quote:
.... and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea...
In the short gMark story Jesus looked LIKE an ordinary Guy to the Outsiders but up in the mountain with the Insiders he was TRANSFIGURING with the resurrected Moses and Elijah.

Mark 9
Quote:
2And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them..............And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.

Please, read the story in the short gMark.

In the short gMark Jesus story, Jesus PUBLICLY declared for the first time he was the Son of the Blessed and the Christ at the trial with the Sanhedrin and was Rejected and KILLED hours later.

Who was the short gMark Jesus???

Mark 3:11 KJV
Quote:
And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried , saying , Thou art the Son of God.
Mark 5:7 KJV
Quote:
... What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God?...
Mark 15:39 KJV
Quote:
.... the centurion.....said , Truly this man was the Son of God.
The short gMark Jesus story had NOTHING to do with Salvation by the Crucifixion.

So how would people be SAVED based on the short gMark???

Run away (from the more general position that there was nothing in Jewish writings about a suffering/humiliated King)! That killer Rabbi is dynamite.

A suffering/humiliated King appealing to God to be vindicated in front of his enemies is all over the Psalms like Bain on a bad Company with a good over funded Pension.

Crucifixion was the context of Paul's time, not the Jewish Bible's, so why is not finding this expression of Passion there ReMarkable?

The crucifixion was gJohn's time but the Resurrection was the Context of Paul's time.

The Pauline theology is LATER than gJohn which is later than gMark..

The Pauline theology is Past the crucifixion and based on the Resurrection.

Examine gMark 8.31, gJohn 3.16 and Romans 10.9.

Mark 8:31
Quote:
And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed , and after three days rise again .
John 3:16
Quote:
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish , but have everlasting life.
Romans 10:9
Quote:
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved .
We can see the Evolution of the Jesus story from gMark to gJohn to Paul.

gMark--Rejection by the crucifixion.

gJohn-Salvation by the crucifixion.

Paul--Salvation by the Resurrection.

1 Corinthians 15:17
Quote:
And if Christ be not raised , your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.

The short gMark story is the MOST significant Jesus story and we can see that is was the MOST influential Jesus story in the Canon.

We have THREE Jesus stories that are virtually 100% identical and was copied almost word-for-word.

The long gMark is virtually the same as the short gMark from beginning to end except for the last 12 verses.

The long gMark author did NOT use a single sentence from any other source from Jesus leaving Nazareth to the Empty tomb.

The long gMark is evidence AGAINST Early Pauline writings.

The author of the long gMark does NOT appear to have attended a Pauline church or have read or heard Paul.

Nothing in the long gMark emulates the Pauline writings.

The author of long gMark appears to ONLY knew of the short gMark or another later source with 12 additional verses.

The short gMark has NOTHING whatsoever to do with Salvation by Sacrifice as stated in gJohn or Remission of Sins by the resurrection as stated in the Pauline letter.

The short gMark is a story about the REJECTION and KILLING of Jesus the Son of God.

Sinaiticus gMark 8
Quote:
31 And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be put to death, and rise after three days

If the author of GMark didn't believe in the need for a davidic Messiah then that would mean he interpreted the relevant verses differently.
But then why does he affirm that Elijah came before Jesus which is only relevant to the davidic messiah? Apparently the author of Mark considered the Son of Man the messiah although he is rather ambiguous about it in those verses. The Son of Man, whoever he is, must suffer, AND "they " are allowed to do whatever they wish to Elijah, whatever that means.
It is only these three verses that even connect the Son of Man to the Messiah, and only to Jesus ambiguously.

Please read short gMark.

Sinaiticus gMark
Quote:
....29 And he asked them: But you, who say you that I am? Peter answering said to him: Thou art the Christ...

Sinaiticus gMark 14
Quote:
....Again the chief priest asked him and said to him: Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?

62 And Jesus said: I am...
There is NO ambiguity. The author of the short gMark story did write that his Jesus was the Christ.

The INSIDERS knew Jesus was the Christ but NOT the OUTSIDERS.

The author of short gMark wrote for the first time about INSIDE information that the OUTSIDERS did NOT know some time after the Fall of the Temple.
