That is why Yeshua rejected traditions in favor of the written word. If its not written, its not from Yehova, its from Satan

oh, good grief.....could Peter read and write....he was a fisherman and had no need to do so...besides, there were no books for him to read and nothing to write about. I'd wager that virtually none of the apostles could either read or write....it just wasn't necessary in those days except within the government and perhaps the Jewish religious community.. They had town criers in early history because they didn't have newspapers because noone could read.

various letters to this group or that group could have been dictated to a scribe, by the apostles, and read to the recipients by a scribe in their area....the average person, at that time, could neither read nor write.

Reading your posts makes me feel like taking a shower.

I'd wager that virtually none of the apostles could either read or write.

When Jesus started to WRITE on the ground, the ACCUSERS slithered away.

Why?

Could they READ what Jesus was WRITING perhaps?
