Hermeneutics of Mark

As he came to the mountain of Mashu, whose entrance is guarded daily by monsters… Scorpion-men guard its gate; [Gilgamesh] was not discouraged, and the Scorpion-man acceded to his urgent request and opened to him the gate of the mountain. #Gilgamesh #ScorpiusGate #Ophiuchus

Scorpion-men guard its gate;

[Gilgamesh] was not discouraged, 
and the Scorpion-man acceded to his urgent request and opened to him 
the gate of the mountain.

#Gilgamesh #ScorpiusGate #Ophiuchus

It’s best to read the Gospel of Matthew as if the writer is: Hyper/Ultra Pro-Roman (Roman evangelism) indifferent to Greeks Anti-Pauline Pro-Petrine Anti-Judea Anti-Temple Pro-Galilee “anti-Roman” sentiment during the passion/tomb account is purely pedagogical not anti


It’s best to read the Gospel of Luke as if the writer is: Pro-Judea Pro-Temple Pro-Jerusalem Anti-Galilean Pro-Petrine Quasi-Pauline Pro-Pharisee Anti-Sadducee/Hasmonean Anti-New Wine/Mysteries) Pro-Gentile/Samaria/Rome/Asiatic Greeks


Mark builds a rink for an ice-dancing competition w/obstacles Matthew-the Zamboni driver-levels all the obstacles. Most of them get set back up for Luke’s performance. (w/Zamboni still on the ice.) Luke skates a spectacular Long Routine. John—the lone judge-scores it a ZERO


It’s best to read the Gospel of Mark as if the writer is: Pro-Greek Anti-Roman Pro-Pauline Anti-Petrine Pro-Galilean Anti-Judean Anti-Temple Anti-Evangelism For his Greek, Christian initiates who get his irony, puns, paradoxes, puzzles, OT references, jokes, riddles etc.


““Pun for Five: Markan Wordplay at the House of Simon Peter”” by Andy Ombultzman Such a fun & rewarding experience writing this. Discovered some shocking details on what I thought was one of the most uneventful miracles in the synoptic tradition.
