FRiend, Kevmo, in no gospel account — zero, zip, nada — does Pilate question Jesus about his theological status as “Son of God”, “Son of Man” “Messiah”, etc.
***Heretic BroJoke, you are showing your selective reading skills. Pilate asked Jesus if he was king of the jews and Jesus said his kingdom was not of this world. Of course, such selective reading of the gospels as you have demonstrated is what we can expect of a heretic.

Instead, Pilate is only concerned about Jesus’ political status as “King of the Jews”.
***Got any sources for that? It is JUST A CONJECTURE. And a crappy one at that. But at least it doesn’t fall to the point of heresy, like most of what else you write.

And that is the sign which all agree was posted on Jesus’ cross.
***Yup. The gospels are really good reliable sources of information, right? That is, until they don’t support your pet theory about Pilate and they directly contradict it, saying that Jesus was found innocent of rebellion by Pilate. But since you’re a troll and a heretic, I expect you to keep repeating your assertion for quite some time. It’s the nature of the beast.

Of course, Pilate’s seeming reluctance to crucify Jesus is entirely possible,
***Dude, here you are arguing against your own pet theory.

especially since, as Luke 23:12 reports: “That day Herod and Pilate became friends—before this they had been enemies.”
***It seems like you read one book about Pontius Pilate and can’t get off this subject. I suppose I shouldn’t expect more from a heretic.

For Pilate, it was a win-win situation.

Kevmo: "Pilate asked Jesus if he was king of the jews and Jesus said his kingdom was not of this world."

So you confirm what I said: Pilate never asked about Jesus' theological status, i.e., "Son of God".
Pilate's only concerns were political: King of the Jews.

These are not controversial ideas, and are well within the bounds of civilized conversation, but you seem well beyond all reach of reason.

Kevmo: "***Dude, here you are arguing against your own pet theory."

FRiend, you've been so inflamed with passion against my supposed "heresy" that you really have no grasp of what I've argued.
Instead, you are utterly confused and flailing wildly with accusations, none of which make sense.
