That fool wouldn't have even been born to say that had not a greater Matthew, Mattithias of the Maccabee clan had not vanquished the Greek Syrians through force of ARMS hundreds of years earlier.

Are you trying to say that Jesus' statements have no meaning because they were quoted by Matthew? Please tell me that I misunderstood you. Or are you trying to say that Mattithias' actions were more significant that Jesus'? I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you are not trying to insult Jesus.

Mattithias and his clan came and restored the temple.

Jesus came and the temple was destroyed, and people scattered to the winds.

If you think that an objective view of history is insulting to Jesus, don't blame me.
