The Anonymous Gospel Manuscripts

[drfuzzy]

Correct.  I mis- . . . typed.  I was WAY off my game in this post, too - only the Gospel of Mark does not include the Resurrection.  But even at AD 50, the letters of Paul predate it.  Since Paul was writing during James and Peter's lifetimes.  Push past AD 70 and you have lost that window of time.   I also claimed that the Codex Sinaiticus was the oldest complete text, but other sources have the Codex Vaticanus as the earliest - - - not by much, and certainly close in the same century, (400's) but older.

I contend that while Mark does not mention the resurrection events in the expanded versions that are seen in other gospels, Mark does proclaim it. When the women arrive at the tomb on Sunday morning, Mark places the following words into the mouth of an angel: "He is risen."

That's what the resurrection is all about. Jesus is risen from the dead.

Yes, that's the myth.  A lot of people still believe it, as you do.  I do not.  I examine the history and contradictions of the book because when I was little I was told that it was infallible.  I like collecting information.  I don't particularly care what anyone thinks of the book -- unless they are rude enough to insist that I should believe the stories in it.
