Origin Of The New Testament Gospel. by Maynman: 7:30pm On Nov 04, 2022 |
With the possible exception of the non-canonical Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Mark was the earliest Gospel to be written. This indicates that the Unknown Authors of Matthew and Luke each used Mark as a source, but neither the Authors of Matthew nor Luke were aware of each other’s work. Thus, The Gospel of Mark was the first narrative Gospel to be written, and was the source of the other Gospel book. As was quite common when revising an earlier book, the later Gospel Authors elaborated some of the passages from Mark and also added new material, but removed or omitted* very little. As a result, the later gospels were all longer than Mark’s Gospel. The problem with the Gospel of Mark for the final editors of the New Testament was that it was grossly deficient. It has no account of the virgin birth of Jesus–or for that matter, any birth of Jesus at all. In fact, Joseph, husband of Mary, is never named in Mark’s Gospel at all, also, One well known change was the addition of the words “the Son of God” to verse 1:1 instead of the original that read “Son of Mary”. But even more significant is Mark’s strange ending. It has no appearances of Jesus following the visit of the women on Easter morning to the empty tomb “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.” And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had seized them, and they said nothing (Mark 16:6- 8 ). And there the Gospel simply ends! Mark gives no accounts of anyone seeing Jesus as Matthew, Luke, and John later report. This original ending of Mark was viewed by later Christians as so deficient that not only was Mark placed second in order in the New Testament, but various endings were added by editors and copyists in some manuscripts to try to remedy things. The longest concocted ending, which became Mark 16:9-19, became so treasured that it was included in the King James Version of the Bible, favored for the past 500 years by Protestants, as well as translations of the Latin Vulgate, used by Catholics. This meant that for countless millions of Christians it became “sacred scripture”–but it is patently bogus. Mark 16:9-19 ending is not found in the earliest and most reliable Greek copies of Mark, neither is it in the earliest and original New Testament codices(sinaiticus and vaticanus). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_16 3 Likes 1 Share |

Well as for me, I believe the entire new testament where written post Nicea. They where all written after the council of Nicea. I am 99% sure that it was written by Eusebius, the master forger and Mathew and Luke by his side kicks... Come to think of it, if they existed earlier why the arguements for almost 10 years prior to Nicea. Each church had their own scriptures no uniformity. And Constantine who desire to have 1 single religion in his empire summoned them to Nicea to iron out their difference. They have being holding such council through the ages, the last being the 2nd Vatican council. It was those council that introduced and defined the doctrines and dogma in Christianity. Not the Bible, it was the council of Trent in 1553 that gave power to the bible as a reaction to the reformation started by Martin Luther. NB Until the council of Ephesus the Christ was Serapis Christus 1 Like |

sonmvayina: You may be right, eusebius the master forger used alot of josephus work and often quoted his books in the church, and not to forget, Josephus was a Chrestian. The books inside New Testament was meant for Chrestians. Eusebius didn’t outrightly write everything in the New Testament, he mostly complied different books that makes up New Testament, while also forging, editing and correcting them to be suitable for his new audience called “Christians”, of course with the help of emperor Constantine. 2 Likes

Maynman: Yes, I meant the gospel bearing Mark..I believe it was written by Eusebius. It is from ancient tales about Marduk...Marduk was the son of Enki and he was also the creator of the universe according to the Enuma Elish.. The letters attributed to Paul where all written by a first century sage Apolinius of Tyna, who actually existed. They where edited for the bible by John Chrysostom. It's all forgery and bull shit. And to think that they have murdered millions just to keep the lie going.. 2 Likes |

sonmvayina:The earliest manuscript of mark called Papyrus 137, is dated to the later 2nd or early 3rd century. Eusebius didn’t flourish until 4th century. Origen was before Eusebius and he also used this books. |

sonmvayina: In A Textual Commentary on the Greek New Testament, Bruce Metzger writes: “Clement of Alexandria and Origen [early third century] show no knowledge of the existence of these verses(Mark 16:9-19 ending) ; furthermore Eusebius and Jerome attest that the passage was absent from almost all Greek copies of Mark known to them.” 1 Like |

The Gospels were written way before Eusebius was born! The oldest surviving piece of text is even older than him by about 40 years https://www.historyofinformation.com/detail.php?id=2647 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gospel

budaatum:All these years things came after Nicea. If all these existed, there won't be any argument prior to the council sitting. And come to think of it , they could either go with Mithraism or Christianity. They voted to go with Christianity.. There is really nothing divine about it. They just added it at the back of the Jewish scriptures to deceive the masses and give it some legitimacy Is there any mention of jesus, the son of Mary in it? |
Re: Origin Of The New Testament Gospel. by budaatum: 9:56am On Nov 05, 2022 |
sonmvayina: Are you suggesting there was no Gospel before Nicea? You're welcome to that belief if so. Evidence does not support it though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_in_the_ante-Nicene_period

budaatum: I mean the gospels as we have them in the Bible now. What gospel meant them was military conquest. It was after Nicea they where refashioned to mean something else as we have them now.. The delegates at Nicea had to choose between Mithraism and Christianity (worship of Serapis). They chose Christianity and over time(most likely at the council of Ephesus) Serapis became jesus. |
Re: Origin Of The New Testament Gospel. by budaatum: 11:18am On Nov 05, 2022 |
sonmvayina: This means absolutely nothing! The Gospels existed before Nicea is a fact, so could not have been written after. They may have been edited at or after Nicea, but the core of the text existed as evidence clearly shows. But if you wish to believe otherwise without providing evidence, be very welcome please. 1 Like |

Re: Origin Of The New Testament Gospel. by budaatum: 11:32am On Nov 05, 2022 |
sonmvayina: They were arguing about the interpretation they would give to the Gospels that already existed! And what came out of it was the Nicene Creed, and not a rewrite of the Gospels that already existed! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicene_Creed 1 Like |
