Paul Says That Mark Is Futile : No Res­ur­rec­tion In Mark’s Gospel

Ibn Anwar -
But the first of the four gospels, i.e., the Gospel accord­ing to Mark, appar­ent­ly did not receive Paul’s memo. And this is a very impor­tant point as we keep in mind that each of the gospels were ini­tial­ly divorced from each oth­er and were writ­ten in dif­fer­ent local­i­ties for dif­fer­ent audiences.

The Inva­lid­i­ty of the Cru­ci­fix­ion of Jesus as an Atone­ment of Sin

Here is a par­tial list of rea­sons for why the death of Jesus on the cross could­n’t pos­si­bly have served as a valid sac­ri­fice — any one of these would ren­der a sac­ri­fice as unac­cept­able for the pur­pose of expi­a­tion of sins. Giv­en that, at the time of Jesus’ death, the Sec­ond Tem­ple was still stand­ing in Jerusalem and the Hebrew Bible was the Scrip­ture in force, here are some of the rea­sons why the death of Jesus on the cross can­not be a valid sac­ri­fi­cial offering.

“I AM What I AM”: A Bible Commentary

We will put our expla­na­tion regard­ing the main issue (I AM) in steps so that it shall be eas­i­ly fol­lowed by those unfa­mil­iar with issues involved. The focus of the paper is to exam­ine whether the use of the word ​“I am” in John 8:58 has some­thing to do with ​“I AM” in Exo­dus 3:14. We will give the com­plete vers­es of John 8:58 and Exo­dus 3:14 lat­er on in this paper. First, we would like to intro­duce to the read­er the Sep­tu­agint, which shall be the main ref­er­ence in this dis­cus­sion oth­er than the Bible itself. Let us delve into the expla­na­tion about the Sep­tu­agint : The word ​“Sep­tu­agint” is tak­en from the Latin word sep­tu­ag­in­ta which means ​“70”. There­fore, this book is also known as ​“LXX”, which sim­ply means ​“70”.

Paul and The​‘Inspi­ra­tion’ of Scripture

In II Tim­o­thy 3:16, we read the claim of Paul :
“All Scrip­ture is God-breathed and is use­ful for teach­ing, rebuk­ing, cor­rect­ing and train­ing in right­eous­ness.” (2 Tim­o­thy 3:16)
In the above verse, we clear­ly see that the entire Bible is sup­posed to be inspired from God Almighty. How­ev­er, there are few prob­lems with the claim.

The Gospels’ Accounts Regard­ing the Call of the First Disciples

So which is the cor­rect Gospel account con­cern­ing the choice of Jesus’ first apos­tles ? The fol­low­ing Bible con­tra­dic­tion was extract­ed from an unpub­lished the­sis enti­tled Ibn Hazm On The Doc­trine of Tahrif which cites Kitab al-Fasl fi al-Milal wa al-Ahwa’ wa al-Nihal and insha’allah this will be part of an ongo­ing series to repro­duce extracts of Ibn Hazm’s crit­i­cisms of the Bible and Christianity.
