- It's good to see someone embracing the law of noncontradiction. I am curious
- what contradictions in the "sayings" of Jesus do you know as contradictory?
- There are contradictions between the synoptics, but what precise sayings are
- in your opinion?
-
- Also, if there are sayings of Jesus that are contradictory then why does that
- mean there is not one true God? I don't see the connection. Perhaps you
- mean, "follow Jesus and only Jesus and you will inherit eternal life" becomes
- difficult to accept?

- Yes. Is it not possible that the humanity of Jesus really believed that the
- world would end in his generation?
-
- Repost the Mark 9:40 with verse 39 and 41 and your tranlated version. There
- are some interesting diffences in the synoptics and I can't remember if this
- one really is.
