Where did the Jesus myth come from?

...Is this a later...new wine into old wineskins, addition to the Gospel?

As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.” At once they left their nets and followed him.
Mark 1:16-18 (NIV)


Fishers of men?
What men? Jews? Gentiles? Samaritans? Roman tax collectors?

More circular reasoning. You're quoting Jesus to prove that Jesus really said that!

...

I'm not quoting Jesus to prove Jesus said it.

Answer the question.

Is this a later...new wine into old wineskins, addition to the Gospel?
Your claim seems to be that the notion of preaching to all nations was controversial to Peter - the fisherman.

I'd guess so. I can't remember reading anything on it though. The vast majority if not all of what Jesus said in the gospels is likely made up from what I've read.

*sigh*

Why bother going to all the trouble of setting up an argument based on Robert Price about new stuff allegedly being added to Mark much later simply in order to try and justify the supposed ''controversy’’ about preaching to the Gentiles?

That was your original contention.

Now you’re saying…oh never mind…it doesn’t really matter…it’s all made up anyway..I dont care....etc.

Here’s some more stuff in Mark which shows that Peter had already been exposed to the universality of the Gospel message.

Do you think these ''controversial’’ scriptures were added later to justify preaching to non-Jews?

Mark 3:33-35
Then Jesus’ mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him. A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, “Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you.”
“Who are my mother and my brothers?” he asked.
Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.”

Mark 11:17
And as he taught them, he said, “Is it not written: “‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations?

Mark 13:9-10
You must be on your guard. You will be handed over to the local councils and flogged in the synagogues. On account of me you will stand before governors and kings as witnesses to them. And the gospel must first be preached to all nations.
