Greetings.This will be my maiden post after spending a long time reading your forum with great interest.Please bear with me as regards any posting errors I commit as this is my maiden post to anyone about anything and I,m fumbling about trying to learn how to handle this whole computer trick.I have become interested in the bible stuff only recently and have been on a steep learning curve.Only a few years ago I had never heard of the Synoptic Problem,assumed a bloke called Mark wrote gMark,presumed that there was some sort of kernel to the whole Jesus story,vaguely supposed that some Jews escaped Egypt although not by parting the Red Sea...and so on.I believe I have come a long way since then but am conscious of a long way to gostill.At this stage I would like to ask you to comment on the dating of the gospel of "Mark".Basically what i have read seems to date it either pre or post 70c.e..I reckon the "not one stone on top of another"[Mark 13.7] is conclusive in dating it post 70c.e..I consider that Mark,s Parable of the Vineyard[Mark 1-11]is supporting evidence for that later dating in that it refers allegorically to god [ "a man'] planting a vineyard ["Israel"] ,letting it out to tenants ["the Jews"] who abuse his servants ["the prophets"] ,murder his beloved son ["Jesus"-an echo of Mark 1.11] then DESTROYS them [Jewish-Roman War] and replaces them with others [Christians].I welcome comment.Thank you.
