      Yes, he wasn't copying it just taking stuff from it and changing it. Goodacre saying he would have used it to fact check is odd when "Mark" wasn't trying to write a fact based history he was writing fiction, an allegorical story, he didn't care about facts.

    • @damouno

      i think Goodacre believes in a 'Historical' Jesus. This is an illogical position to take. Gospel Jesus is clearly a literary creation. There are historical figures such as 'Judas' the Galilean upon which Gospel Jesus uses as a kind of Template. But Judas Galilean was a very violent Messianic Jewish Rebel who was indeed crucified by Pilate. Check book by Daniel Unterbrinck.

      @@khsuki1 I think this ignores that in Greco-Roman antiquity, it was the default for biographies of real people to be fictionalized. It's plausible (although of course nowhere near certain) that Mark was doing the same thing. Just because a lot of Mark is clearly fictitious, it doesn't necessarily mean that he was not biographizing a real person, according to the common standard of that culture.

    I’m waiting for the day when all of these texts are placed into a database along with all the other Greek, Aramaic, and Hebrew texts from that time, and then properly analyzed for determining who borrowed from whom. I think this is how we will ultimately solve many of the questions as to the origins of certain texts, and how they were compiled.

    Thomas’s existence actually is a nice argument against the existence of Q because Thomas looks like an example of the opposite of the Q to Matthew path. Thomas looks like someone taking a lot lot lot of sayings that make no sense without extra narrative context and pulling them out of the narrative and putting them into a shorter document for who knows what purpose. A very large fraction of the sayings in Thomas just make no sense without extra context that has obviously been removed.

    If Luke had acces to Matthew Gospel, why his version has a different story about Jesus birth. This birth story is totally different in Luke with no common ground with the story told by Matthew. This is one of the reason why the common wisdom is that Luke did not know the Matthew Gospel. There are many other reasons.

  • @craigfairweather3401
    @craigfairweather3401 5 місяців тому

    Thankyou. Dr Goodacre’s presentation of what ‘Luke’ did to ‘Matthew’ (and Mark) is compatible with the idea that ‘Luke’ did similar things to ‘John’. I would add my current view that the author of Luke is writing later than John ,as Dr Paul Anderson contends, and several times has been mildly influenced by details and passages he has read in ‘’John’, or remembers from hearing in an audience, read from ‘John’. These details include also such extended narratives as John’s arrangement of the denials of Peter interspersed with the witness of Jesus, and aspects of order in the Last Supper. Yet ‘Luke’ appears to have deliberately (moderately) downgraded John’s particularly favoured personages Mary Magdalene (‘seven devils’)and Mary, Martha (why won’t Mary help me in the kitchen?’)and Lazarus (a beggar whose sores are licked by dogs’)of Bethany. This would suggest a degree of rivalry of viewpoints, or reputation, of the author of Luke against the author of John

    Great guest. But as he says, people can only speculate on how transmission actually happened. Why would he assume that a 100 AD Luke knew Josephus as opposed to a 60 AD Luke having access to some of the witnesses or documents Josephus would use decades later?

      Luke takes stuff from Josephus in a way that he is copying (like using the same phrases). Luke also leaves out details which sometimes make the reference not make sense even though it did in Josephus.

    Luke may have similarly mined/used the Nicodemus passage John 3:1-21, turning a mental and moral process for all believers he read of in John into a physical process for Jesus in Luke, to elevate Jesus in his physical conception, a divine conception that may not even been thought of by the author of John. See the wording at Luke 1:24-25 and there note the Nicodemus-like question ‘How can these things be’ and the other words shared with the Nicodemus passage: ‘power’ dunamos (dunamai ‘getting the power to do something’ is used in Nicodemus’ question), spirit, born’ and in Luke 1 verse 31 mention of a womb, v32 sitting on a throne in his kingdom, and in verse 37 ‘nothing will be impossible with God’. As if answering also the unspoken objection of Nicodemus. Multiple correspondences.

    The Farrer-Goulder-Goodacre hypothesis is a possible solution to the synoptic problem. I think 🤔 the Q theory is much more convincing! If Luke had known Mark and Matthew, why he would create a completely new native story and destroy the famous sermon on the mount?

    Order/Relationship of the Gospels according to me:
    -Mark
    -Marcion (extended Mark/Q/Sayings/Logoi)
    -Matthew (uses both Marcion/Mark)
    -Luke (Edited Marcion's Gospel, used Matthew)
    Luke and Matthew are interchangable, possible Luke was written first or Matthew. In that case, Matthew used Luke if Luke was written prior and Matthew later. In my theory it's hard to tell which because Marcion is Ur-Lukas, so it's difficult to tell if Matthew used our Luke, or Ur-Lukas, Marcion.
    I'm open to Matthean Posteriority so I don't know what to make of which Gospel was last, but I do think Mark was first, Marcion was Q. So the important thing is that Mark and Marcion were first.

    Mark is so brilliant, However, the elephant in the room seems to have been missed by every scholar whether deluded, mesmerised indoctrinated Christian or rational atheist Biblical scholar. Even if there was a Jesus, how do we know what he said? The trouble is we are indoctrinated as children (like Muslim children) to believe these are the words spoken by our Prophet/Messiah and taken down faithfully by men with telepathic powers and even if they were writing decades later they still had telepathic powers. In reality, they were a bunch of dick-heads making stuff up - copying Old Testament stories and grafting them onto the moron named Jesus (who thought stars were tiny lights in the firmament and could fall to earth), making up stories to fulfil prophecies (not prophecies at all and taken wildly out of context), borrowing themes from Homer, Josephus, Romulus and Remus etc. Tell me a conversation word for word you had with a work colleague two months ago? Page after page after page after page. Exactly. Zilch. We remember 0-20% of conversations (officially). I would put it lower to 0-4% So unless these illiterate fishermen were chasing after Jesus with a laptop and touch-typing then we can assume it is all made up bullshit. How would they know his words were important? Where did they sleep every night and who fed these weirdo's? Who financed them? Tell me where your uncles grandad was born? Who was there and what was said? What building or room it was in? Yup you don't know but you still retain this weird indoctrination from Sunday School that the Gospel writers had superior, telepathic powers to us mere mortals. Now tell me which town your own grandad was born? (Maybe not too hard) What building? What room? Who was there (how many nurses) what was said? What happened after he was born? You get my drift. The Gospels are all made up. How do we know other than the former? They describe what happened when nobody else was there. What people thought. What happened in secret. What happened behind closed doors etc. Wake up and smell the coffee!
