Research Summary
Many problems, serious objections, and provocative theories, from only two texts from the Gospel of Mark! Problems that clearly demonstrate that this book was definitely not written by inspiration of God. The author of the Gospel of Mark distorted quotations he took from the Old Testament, and was unable to attribute these quotations to their correct sources. In addition, we find textual problems that clarify the intentional distortion of the text of the Gospel of Mark. Perhaps the most famous of these textual problems is the problem of ” the prophets ” or ” the prophet Isaiah .” Contrary to what we find in the Van Dyke translation, and according to the rules of textual criticism, the older form of the text of Mark 1:2 is: ” As it is written in Isaiah the prophet ,” not: ” As it is written in the prophets .” The research will reveal, God willing, the shortcomings of the author of the Gospel of Mark in expressing the correct source of his quotation, in addition to the deliberate distortion of the word ” the prophet Isaiah ” and its transformation into ” the prophets ,” because the quotation written immediately after this phrase is not found in the Book of the Prophet Isaiah! From here, we will shed light on the specific inspiration of the Gospel of Mark , and how scholars deal with this problem. Didn’t the author of this Gospel know that the quoted text wasn’t found in the Book of Isaiah? How could the author commit such an error when he was inspired by the Holy Spirit? In the end, we find two texts that reveal the human nature and corruption of the oldest Gospels in the New Testament.
