The Matthew's Gospel scares me, not his name. Matthew wrote a very stern Gospel, its full of fiery furnaces and the like. Lukes has the most miracles theres a lot more of Jesus forgiving people and lot less of Jesus talking about lakes of fire.
I also like Peter (the saint) because hes one of the most human saints, having fallen of the wagon so to speak. Paul and Matthew are converts and theyre a bit much with the zealotry.
"Paul and Matthew are converts and theyre a bit much with the zealotry."
So was Peter, if you think about it. Indeed, probably all the apostles.
I consider it passion, not zealotry.
I think we might all be a little passionate if Jesus asked us personally to follow him, too.
Matthews message was primarily to the jews. He used language they would be familiar with.
I'm surprised you didn't say you liked John's gospel the best, because his is the one that talks the most about love.
Oh, well. Enough of that. Back to the babies!
