Which is the most /lit/ Gospel?

[Anonymous No.12512170]

John

[Anonymous No.12512171]

Luke and Mark are my favorites.

That wasn't the question mate

Tough choice.
I'd say Luke is the most /lit/ and Mark is the darkest and most accurate of the Gospels.

[Anonymous No.12512194]

>>12512182
Do you think Mark is the most accurate because it is the earliest?

[Anonymous No.12512207]

>>12512194
It focuses on the message instead of the miracles, where they are told by Jesus not to tell a soul. In other words, it is the steak, and not the sizzle.

[Anonymous No.12512224]

>>12512166
Luke has the largest vocabulary

Matthew is the most accessible

Mark is the oldest

John is the most esoteric

[Anonymous No.12512280]

>>12512166
Bad question. They are all equally necessary. To raise one above the others is the antithesis of /lit/.

I've always been partial to John. I came to Christ while reading that gospel. It just has so many mind-blowing concepts. Starting off with a concise theological statement that the Word of God, through which God the Father created everything, and Who is Himself God, was made into a flesh and blood man by God the Father to redeem humanity is a concept on which you could spend decades meditating on.

Following that we get the wedding at Cana, the Samaritan woman at the well, and the bread of life discourse. John is a gospel that continues to shock me at how genius it is when I read it.

John is the most lit. I haven’t read any of them.

[Anonymous No.12514127]

John, no doubt.

[Anonymous No.12514366]

John. poetic and pleasurable
Matthew conversational, Luke is historical, Mark is wildly brief.

Would anyone here recommend reading the Bible in other languages? I’m doing French at Uni and am looking for literature to practice on.

look buddy im a massive atheist, and i want you to know youre incredibly fucking wrong. its incredibly widely read, throughout history. any of the art or literature you digest is probably only about 2 degrees of separation max from the bible.

I've been told that John uses the most refined language. So, John. At least in the Vulgate and the translations that are most loyal to it.

What a fucking stupid way to think about things. Just because John uses refined language doesn't make it better. What about details and prose and spiritual content? Fucking cunt. You are a bleating foal, a curdled staggering mutant dwarf smeared richly with the effluvia and offal accompanying your alleged birth into this world. An insensate, blinking calf, meaningful to nobody, abandoned by the puke-drooling, giggling beasts who sired you and then killed themselves in recognition of what they had done.

Nobody cares, you humongous pseuds. Your jewish parables aren't qualitatively any better than any pagan folklore and their AIDS-like spread for political reasons is no more than a historical curiosity, not some feat of innate intellectual depth, worthy of adulation and masturbatory study. Phenomenology and Critique both had a thousandfold larger impact on humanity. You've only to stop being mindless tradlarpers falling for stale aesthetics and tales of decrepit glory.
