exegesis, I presume you mean. Since I am arguing to take Matthew at his word, just as the Catholic Church did for 1400 years, instead of hunting high and low to try to unsay the self-cursing of the jews for jesus's death that Matthew reports, that's pretty amusing.

2 - They are not after-dinner testimonials, so your characterization is wrong.
Are they testimonials, or are they not? Testimonials are not a proper answer to specific forensic charges backed up by documents in the accused's own hand.

Oh, indeed. How twisted is the "We Remember" document issued by the catholic church? How twisted is Matthew? How twisted is the doctrine of salvation through the crucifixion and resurrection? How twisted is my recitation of the contents of the Accords between Hitler and the Catholic church?
