History of the Trinity Doctrine

[outhouse]

Q is patently Galilean and predates Mark by 30 years. Yes, Luke is Gentile. Matthew is Jewish, writing to an expatriate Jewish community.

I think Q is Galilean, because the outlying, more rural areas were far more suspicious of the Roman "Big Brother" than the urbanites were. Q is so suspicious. The remaining L and M material are not.

ill need sources for a Galilean connection, i dont even know whwere got that, being that most scholars view it as redacted from a greek source

because paul was before the gospels does not mean they were influenced by them.

its obvious they were not, and follwoing other developing traditions

Not even John?

Well Paul was a Pharisee according to some scripture and he had a big Christian community following him according to Historians so the scriptures could easily be influenced by him maybe not personally but by hes teachings. You can't just jump from Matthew/Luke to John there has to be a development there.

 

[sojourner]

Well you forget the notion that Pauline scriptures date back earlier then that of Mark what is considered to be the oldest gospel, we also know that Matthew and Luke used Mark's work so therefore i can conclude that all work have been influenced by Paul in a way.

Also there is no historical evidence that the gospels were written by Mark, Matthew, Luke or John since the writers used a 3rd person view on the stories and the titles clearly say ''According to'' and not ''By''.

None of that matters. Matthew and Luke both used an earlier source, probably oral, and probably from less than 10 years following the crucifixion. That's even earlier than Paul's letter to Thessalonica.

Gjohn was by a different sect, a johannine community that had their own influences.

paul wrote letters not a gospel, it took a while before they were is wide circulation
