It's Good Friday. So it's an appropriate time to ask the question: what is your favorite Gospel?

>> No.20226209

>>20226179
The violently anti-Jewish Gospel of John.

>> No.20226242

>>20226179
the Gospels are nice but my favorite book is Judges

>> No.20226250

>>20226179
Only the Orthodox calendar matters and Mark

>> No.20226351

Mark
Cuts out all the gay Christmas shit
Ending is kinda ambiguous

>> No.20226359

>>20226179
Matthew because of the sermon on the Mount

Captcha: TRADR

>>20226179
Mark and John, they are drastically different accounts and it's interesting to compare the two of them. The book of Daniel is probably my favourite of the OT

I am not Christian. But it doesn’t get better than John.

>no love for Luke

I get that some of it retreads the same ground as Mark and Matthew, but I like it still. I love the parts that probably have Mary as their primary source, like the Annunciation.

John is the most interesting and historically accurate

Mani of course. As for christian ones Marcion whom Luke copies.
Best historical probably Thomas.
The canonical ones are pretty much without merit.

Luke is comfy

>> No.20226747

Mark. It is subtle, immediate, deceptively simple while being highly organized and symbolic.

>> No.20226754

>>20226179
Matthew. It's got all the relevant part of Mark but isn't pants-on-head retarded wankery like John or the "I'm adding historical details to give myself credibility but I forgot to check my sources so I actually get it all wrong" of Luke.

>> No.20226804

>>20226754
I always thought it was smart to put Matthew first since it's the least shitty one. So anyone who decides to pick up a bible and try to read it will start with it.

"Mark was written first" is nothing but Protestant and Orthodox cope.

I like judges where phineas kills the hebrew man and the midinite woman for race mixing and god gives phineas and his descendants preisthood for the rest of time. Thats a good lesson here
