Quote:This is referring to the theory that Marcion forged some of Paul's letters and the fact that Justin Martyr never mentioned Paul by name in his own works. Minimalist and I have been talking about it elsewhere in this topic.

2 "Corinthians" 11:32
Quote:32 In Damascus the governor under King Aretas had the city of the Damascenes guarded in order to arrest me.
This quite correctly describes a situation c 84 BC where the Nabatean king, Aretas III had conquered Damascus. Aretas III was also deeply involved in the palace intrigues of the crumbling Hasmonean dynasty in Jerusalem and the idea that he may have provided political sanctuary - or withdrawn sanctuary - to one side or another in that internecine squabble is not at all far-fetched.
Of course, xtians would rather slam their balls in a car door than admit that fucking "paul" is talking about a first century BC event. Can't say I blame them. Such an admission and their whole bible blows up in their fucking faces.
