Absolutely. I read the Bible enough to know of its errors and conflicts. When professional Christians use “ Context” what they realty mean is Don’t read that— look over here at this and reject that because it does’t line up with what I want to sell you. Let me give you a blatant example and you can accept one or the other. The only reference in the new testament even close to tithing is the “widows mite” Every tithing Sunday you will hear about the “widows mite” to get your money. What you wont hear is Matthew 17 when Jesus and two of his disciples go to Capernium to have Jesus speak at the Temple. They are confronted with a gate keeper collecting the Tithe ( “Temple Tax”). Jesus says to his disciples the a “King doesn’t tax his children” . We are all the children of God . He refuses to pay the tithe with their money ( which they had) and has the Disciple go get a miracle coin out of a fishes mouth. This is never taught. If Jesus didn’t want to pay the tax, I don’t. BTW Jesus was crucified in Jerusalem after he overturned the money tables in the Temple for the same reason. That really threatened the cash flow of the Sanhedrin. Yes, I read the Bible to answer questions. Jesus died for your sins and mine or Jesus meant nothing.

Interesting.

And are you still holding that Aramaic is found only in some Jesus quotes?

Your Bible knowledge is, um, fascinating.
