Really? let me tell you a story about baptism. But, I don't think you will agree with the ending. You know that Jesus had a teacher, his teacher was John the Baptist. And John the Baptist was what we call an apocalyptic preacher, meaning he preached about the end times, about the apocalypse, about the day when God would return to earth and establish his kingdom. Pretty much as many Christian groups preach today. John's message was essentially this. I will reveal the future to you. And the future is that God is coming and God will destroy the evil people in the world. So right now is your opportunity to redeem yourself from your sins, to start a new life, to repent and be baptized because God is coming and we must prepare for the return of God. That was John the Baptist's message and Jesus was one of his students, one of his disciples.
But, shortly after the baptism of Jesus, this is when things started to go awfully wrong with John's movement. So, his student stopped believing in his teachings and broke away. This student, Jesus started to create his own following, which suggests that Jesus was preaching a message that was different from John the Baptist. He wasn't repeating what his teacher said. He was developing his own interpretation, his own vision, his own understanding of what was coming and what people needed to do to prepare. His message was different and people paid attention to it. And we know this from historical and archaeological findings. It is one of the things we found confirming the historical Jesus.
I have many times and also I have looked at different translations. Even the Aramaic Peshitta New Testament original before being translated into Greek.

Read Revelation. This "conflict theory" is false. It's not one vs the other, it's one AND the other.
I have many times and also I have looked at different translations. Even the Aramaic Peshitta New Testament original before being translated into Greek.
Then you would know your conflict theory isn't correct.
You're making no sense. Do you just want to waste time?
