All you have are assumptions. You show no interest in truth, and you lack omnipotence to make reality conform to your will.

Lets dig into this then. If we're taking these things as historical accounts, a temple cleansing at the beginning of a Jesus ministry horrendously contradicts it happening before the end of a Jesus ministry.

No it doesn't.

Next you're going to tell me Jesus' lineages can't possibly be harmonized and there must be a horrible mistake.

If you'd humble yourself before the Most High, you'd at least have a chance of learning something. Without that? All bets are off.

The possibility that anything exists beyond your own ability eludes you.

I'm not sure anyone has come up with something stupider, ever.

You do nothing but assume anyway.

"John the theologian, John the beloved, John the revelator"

When in doubt - go with John. You have much to learn before you can understand all 4 Gospels, start with one. This one.

Or just be honest - you really have no interest in understanding any of it and are just a troll.

No.

You can't possibly be so ignorant as to be unable to look for yourself, considering all the reading you must have done to come up with all these totally original observations you've made that just can't be you quoting from IhateGod.com.

I'm assuming from that you mean it went that the Jews were too Jewish to understand Jesus.

Assume and you make an ass out of both you and me.

I did not say what you only assume, nor would I ever be that stupid.

Try actually reading what's written, without assuming anything. You'll never gain any understanding of the Bible without that skill.

Because you demand it and I bow down to worship you?

Fuck off.

Sabbath has nothing to do with it.

Before 40 AD the Church observed what we know as Sunday as "the Lord's day." When was Constantine born?

You're a fool, and won't learn anything until you humble yourself before the Lord. And you can't possibly do that while being such a jerk to His people.

There are many others who were both more important and better.

You have no idea about any of this. It also sounds like you have absolutely 0 common sense.

Origen (185-254 CE) was the most prominent Christian theologian in his time.

GIGO.

The Roman empire became Christian through forced conversion

Absolutely false. You got that idea from The DaVinci Code, not history.

Here's a thought. The Gentiles were too pagan to understand who and what Jesus was

You have this exactly backwards. You fail at theology, too.

No it doesn't.

Thanks for playing though.

Congratulations on failing at reading comprehension. The Gospel of John indeed contrasts with the others, which are meant to be taken together.

When in doubt, go with John; more learning is required, but in the meantime ...

You get your information from bad science fiction, which is arguably worse than Wikipedia. Even a cursory reading of the Bible is enough to prove your central idea wrong:

Constantine declared Sunday the day of rest

Until you can prove your Church's claims

Not how this works.

Try kindergarten.

it is disappointing to find its scholarship rather weak and misguided

That only means you haven't found their scholarship.

Case in point:

While we can agree that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth (Jn. 16:13), the Orthodox believe that He works only in their lives

This is ignorance, plain and simple. You have learned exactly nothing, and have no business forming an opinion on the topic. Nothing else you might have to say is worth reading.
