Like the rest of the New Testament, the four gospels were written in Greek. The Gospel of Mark probably dates from c. AD 66–70, Matthew and Luke around AD 85–90, and John AD 90–110. Despite the traditional ascriptions, all four are anonymous and most scholars agree that none were written by eyewitnesses.

scent marking > anything else

i-

i...don't have a valid argument. you win. 🏳️

NSFW beyond this point. MDNI or zl's dick will shrivel up bc you're too young for him. possessive!zhongli. scent marking.

but being with zhongli at some type of event or party. and he's watching another dude chatting you up from across the room, but his mouth is just a little too close to your ear. so zhongli makes his way over to you and nonchalantly asks to have a word with you.

down the hall, he pulls you into a nearby storage closet and next thing you know your back is dragging up and down the wall as he fucks his fat, glowing erection into you. his mouth is right up against your ear, commanding you to tell him who you fucking belong to.

so with your ankles digging into the musculature of his flexing ass, you answer him in broken whimpers, "y-you, zhong- hhhah- zhongli! only you, baby!"

he smirks. "that's right. now to fill you up with my musk so they know that as well-" his breathy words are cut off by the choked grunt that forces its way out of his throat when his large cock starts to jerk inside you. "hnhh fuck, that's it-" he growls, "take it all."

with little regard for your own satisfaction, he buries himself to the hilt and empties the warm, creamy contents of his heavy balls inside your weeping cunt as they spasm against your taint.

minutes later, you're walking arm in arm with him as a fat glob of his thick dragon seed oozes from your still-needy hole, past your inner thigh, allllll the way down to your ankle. if another man gets close enough now he'll need only breathe and he will instantly be put off with the knowledge that you've been claimed and mated by a far more powerful male.

I love when academics are clearly having fun. I also like when they dedicate an entire chapter to roasting the opinions of the guy whose lecture series I just listened to.

very real very canon information about Peter strahm that was revealed to me through psychic visions->

Peter loves collecting vinyl, especially divorced dad rock bands and is an absolute asshole about people's music tastes. Like the kind of guy who only asks you who you listen to so he can immediately insult the band. Unironally asks the "name five of their albums" question to fans. Gets extremely snarky about the digital v vinyl debate.

Mark creates a new hobby where he'll wait for a lull in conversation before saying he thinks one direction has had a bigger cultural impact than pink Floyd so he can watch Peter try and drive the car directly into a tree

#hes insufferable he's twice divorced he's my babygirl #peter strahm #at this point ive just completely made up like 90% of strahms backstory bc saw couldnt be fucked to and i believe my assumptions about #him like gospel #like for example his fav movie is Heat. Hes a cat person. His dad was in the navy. He cannot cook to save his life. He's trans and has endo #he likes to read old pulp fiction scifi novels. he says his favourite band is pink floyd but its joy division. he loves mark deeply #mark hoffman #doing a backflip off the top of cringe tower and landing in whatever the fuck this is #hoffstrahm #mark asks peter if fleetwood mac is a rapper and peter threatens to call the FBI

Jesus Makes Us Into His Followers

34 And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 35 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s will save it. 36 For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? 37 For what can a man give in return for his soul? 38 For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” — Mark 8:34-38 | English Standard Version (ESV) The Holy Bible, English Standard Version.

Maybe this is the Protestant in me (and this Protestant has had two glasses of wine this evening)

But I’m reading Veritas by Ariel Sabar (great book so far) and the professor at the center of the story is quoted as saying (I’m paraphrasing) “people are out there thinking, if Mary Magdalene wasn’t a prostitute then what else is the truth?”

And I would just suggest that they. Read the gospels?

Not even in a theological way! But the fact that Mary Magdalene wasn’t a sex worker is in fact pretty obvious from the gospels on account of it is…never mentioned?

(The gospels also aren’t even that long, all things considered.)

I just, coming from a prima scriptura background this befuddlement is puzzling to me.

#this is first and foremost a post about engaging with primary sources #aka a good thing to do! #also endlessly puzzled by people who are like VOILA I HAVE UNCOVERED A SECRET ABOUT CHRISTIANITY and literally ten times out of ten #I’m like oh I already knew that #the gospel of Mark doesn’t even include the resurrection!!!! yeah dude I know #Mark’s gospel was the reading for Easter this year #like. that’s not a fact we hide from #actually I should say Mark’s gospel does have the resurrection it’s just the empty tomb #zero Jesuses appear #none Jesus with left grave clothes? #is that anything? #mg says stuff

IF JESUS HAD DIED IN 2000

Paul would be writing his various letters* in the 2020's *the letters that most scholars consider genuine; Galatians, 1 Thessalonians, 1-2 Corinthians, Romans, Philipians & Philemon - a generation later and having never known Jesus in person

Gospel of Mark won't be written until around the 2030's - with no claims of Jesus' virgin birth, ascension and divinity

Gospel of Matthew won't be written until around the 2040's - with the first record of virgin birth, Bethlehem origin, guards & angel at tomb

Gospel of Luke won't be written until around the 2050's - with the first record of a post-resurrection Jesus eating, appearing & disappearing and ascension to heaven

Gospel of John won't be written until around the 2060's - with the first record of the incarnation of Jesus (god-man), divinity claims of Jesus, the seven "I am" sayings of Jesus and Jesus' lengthy discourse with Pilate

This sure sounds like something that people just made up.

[gayleviticus]

some things i'd never realised abt the story of the syrophoenician woman (the gentile woman who asks Jesus to heal her daughter, Jesus is like it's not fair to throw the children's food to the dogs, she says but even dogs get scraps) from mainly hearing it as like, it's own little episode divorced from the ongoing context of mark, is that

Jesus deliberately goes to Tyre, which is Gentile territory (although with Jews living there too). This was not some random Gentile woman bothering him out of the blue; Jesus is kinda asking for it.

There is a consistent theme of Jesus hiding from people and being cryptic in Mark, and so I think his seeming reluctance here fits into that pattern. Jesus quite often tries to hide from the crowds asking for a miracle or swears people to secrecy about his powers; I think him playing word games with the Syrophoenician woman is another iteration on this theme. This woman knows in her heart that Jesus will help her if she asks, but just as his identity as Son of God and Messiah, this is a truth reached by faith, not because he's going around preaching it to people.

I'd often imagined this story as kind of a random interlude where Jesus is preaching to Jews but helps this one Gentile lady as if throwing a bone to the audience; yes Jesus lived in Judea but he cares about Gentiles. But in the flow of Mark this isn't a one-off; it initiates a mini 'Jesus ministers to the Gentiles' story arc, followed by the healing of the blind man and the feeding of 4000. The crumbs that fell from the table for dogs become abundant loaves of bread with plenty left over.

There's a certain progressive interpretation that likes to read this story as Jesus learning to not be racist (or at least, 'the Syrophoenician woman teaches Jesus to be more inclusive' without insinuation of sin).

There are theological reasons I don't think this is great (although I think there's fascinating potential to locate her in the grand tradition of Old Testament figures 'changing God's mind', e.g. Abraham pleading for Sodom, Moses defending the Israelites against God's wrath), but also I feel like in the context of Mark, it feels like a modern imposition into the text; it's obvious here that Jesus entered Gentile territory of his own intent, and fits into themes of him being secretive and reluctant.

I want to believe that the Secret Gospel of Mark is legit so so bad you guys. Can you imagine.

#op #secret gospel of mark #for today's lucky 10000 it's referenced in a letter from Clement and supposedly contains a scene where Jesus resurrects a young man #and the young man falls in love with him and they conduct intricate rituals all night #however that letter was probably forged in the 1950s #but like. imagine.
