You keep repeating this assertion, but haven't proven it.
A negative can't be proven. The burden of proof is upon you to prove your assertions. We're all still waiting.
No. It's the food being cleansed here, not the body. What we call "purging" is cleansing of the body (or the bowel, to be more specific), not the food
Again, one has to wonder how you're supposed to pull this off when it's going into the sewer. You never get around to explaining that part of your claim.
No. If 'katharizon' was agreeing with 'aphedrona' they would have to be in the same case, and they aren't. Care to try again?
Evidently you've already forgotten your own argument which was in reference to GENDER, not case. I never claimed they were agreeing in case, nor that they have to agree in case as that is idiotic. You're not only presenting a Strawman argument, but one that is inconsequential to boot. How about addressing the fact that I refuted your facile and erroneous observation?
Then why did you say it?
I didn't. The church was originally a Jewish sect, and clearly continued to be an observant Jewish sect until they could no longer celebrate the Jewish liturgy together. That's why the gospel narratives had to be committed to paper. The problems in interpretation emerged due to blatant ignorance on the part of a growing Gentile congregation.
But I wasn't talking about the Jewish church (even if it still was predominantly Jewish by the mid-first century when Mark was writing). I was talking about the predominantly/entirely Gentile church that developed in the second half of the first century. That's why I specified it was the Gentile church.
And that church didn't write the gospel narratives. They had no clue what they were even looking at, hence their false understanding and interpretations.
Nothing like the fact we are made in the image of God?
The body is not made in the image of God. The body is the temple that houses God's image. God's image is not corruptible like the body.
1 Corinthians 6:19 19What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
