How can you prove that the gospel of Mark is not the "word of god"?
August 27, 2016 at 8:43 am
So this has been bothering me for a while. I am 100% sure that Matthew, Luke and John's gospels were not "divinely inspired" and they are not the "word of god" because of some of the errors I found in them. However, I can't find any errors in Mark's gospel. No historical errors, no theological errors, nothing. In addition to that, I don't see how it contradicts the old testament in any way.
How can you prove that Mark's gospel is not the word of god? Is there anything in this gospel that scholars don't agree with? Is there anything in the gospel that proves that this book was not divinely inspired?

Magic. Ultimately you have to believe in a magical supreme being. And existence of supernatural still wasn't proven.

Why do I have to prove something that I make no assertions about? Christians have not proven that anything (including the gospel of Mark) is the word of their god. I'll wait for them to do the work before I believe anything.
I don't believe you. Get over it.

Being that Jesus is a mythological character the entire New Testament is an historical inaccuracy.

I need a proof that is specifically directed towards Mark's gospel. I believe that every book in the New Testament is faulty, except for gospel of Mark. So I need proof against the gospel of Mark.

No need to prove that. I can't prove the writing on a toilet wall isn't the "word of God" either. It's an impossible thing to disprove.
People making claims need to provide the proof.
The gospel of Mark is a story. That's about the best thing you can say about it. It's loosely based on facts, in places, at best.
What do you mean by "faulty"?

This is your claim. You provide the proof.

Let me rephrase the question: If a person said, "The gospel of Mark is the only book in the new testament that was divinely inspired. No other books in the NT are words of god", then how would you prove him/her wrong?
