"Mark" was first and all the other 'Jesus on earth' shit was derived from it. Mark was originally written between 70 and 135 or so. No one really knows when it was last edited, either.

The celestial Jesus stuff in the collection now known as "Paul" probably pre-dates all of the later shit since he knows nothing about any of the horseshit.

The footnote ascribes the comment to Pheme Perkins - a professor of....guess what?...."theology."

As noted elsewhere, theologians have a driving wish to push this horseshit into the first century when the plain fact of the matter is that we have no evidence at all for first century dates.

That is "0," in the first century.

As in Not Fucking One!  And precious few in the second.

Keyword "theologian."  Give me an actual historian as opposed to some shithead with a vested interest for accepting bullshit.

You want someone who has a vested interest in denying the truth.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

She doesn't have to be.  But her rice bowl is filled by pretending this happy horseshit is real.  Do you know that there are religiously-affiliated schools which require their faculty to profess belief in whatever their particular bullshit happens to be?  It is necessary to keep morons like G-C up there happy in their ignorance.

Instances of scholarly integrity among xtians are rare but they do happen.  I posted this several years ago.

Boston College is not one of those institutions. I know that there are some open atheist faculty there.
