Document Summary
Parting of the ways: the christianity theological, faith-based model. Within the large israel, there"s a true israel (idea od the holly people): orthodoxy: right believe. Christianity claim to be the true one but didn"t have enough power, that is why it is called proto-orthodoxy. -mark: jesus was the messiah, but not fully revealed as such until the time of his passion. Messianic secret is mark"s creation and perhaps jesus himself didn"t identify himself as the messiah. At that time, people didn"t very admit that jesus is the messiah. The idea that christianity were replacing the jew in god"s covenant; christianity are superior to judaism. Ebionites: jesus was a man who was adopted by god, as his son sometime between his baptism and resurrection. Panarion: mattew and jesus as exalted moses messiah type.
