How do we verify any early church claims since the gospels and the epistles along with "Church history" all point towards being propaganda? Why didn't Jesus stone Mary Magdalene?  I know Jesus calls out the stone throwers (John 8:7 ), but wouldn't Jesus be without sin and therefore be able to throw the first stone? Would it be a sin in His fatherâ??s eyes not to follow the laws of the OT? I was wondering what did Judas betray in the first place? Jesus was a local celebrity, his views were pretty much out there, known to anyone who wanted to be familiar with them. What kind of inside info did Judas have? Concerning the age of Jesus at the start of his mission: Why thirty? I think the Bible has its own internal logic so Jesus's age had to be thirty for some reason right? Mt 28:19 has an explicitly trinitarian formula for baptism, which contradicts the Jesus-name formula from Acts 2:38 . Might the Matthean text be an interpolation? In whose name did John the Baptist baptize? Cannot one can believe in God, and see the Bible as moot? Some say that "He cuts off every branch that does not produce fruit" in John 15:2 could be translated as "He lifts-up every branch that does not produce fruit." Is that true? Are biblical scholars really so entrenched or fearful for their jobs that they really wonâ??t even consider the idea of Jesus as a myth? What does that say about New Testament scholarship? Theme music provided by: Peter Benjamin - composer for media www.peterbenjaminmusic.org [email protected]
