Yes you are correct. Sure anyone can edit Wiki BUT you had better abide by the rules...meaning you can only post credible and verifiable information. The medical and science topics have even more strict rules such as you can't post original research.


Here you go Snowball you can read all about it.

Was Jesus an apocalyptic Preacher?

Then most New Testament scholars are wrong.

A relatively minor difference in my opinion.
It is a major difference to me.

No, there is Yahweh and then there is David's Lord:
Psa 110:1 A Davidic Psalm The averring of Yahweh to my Lord: Sit at My right Until I should set Your enemies as a stool for Your feet.

Yahweh is Jesus' God. And Jesus was David's Lord. Therefore Jesus was existent when David was alive.

Wikipedia is misleading, biased trash on the deeper subjects.

No thank you, I don't perouse sites like "Quora", "Patheos", "Huffington Post",
"Politico", "Daily Beast" or any other commie fish wraps.

Fundies must maintain their ignorance at all costs.

LOL... I've told you before, Patheos is for ALL views. There are channels on all sorts of religious perspectives.

Evangelical:
Evangelical Christianity: Religion, Theology, History, Churches | Patheos

Mormon:
Mormonism: Religion, Theology, History, Churches | Patheos

Catholic:
Catholicism: Religion, Theology, History, Churches | Patheos

Progressive Christian:
Progressive Christian: Religion, Theology, History, Churches | Patheos

And more. Snowball, open your eyes and see. You make presumptions and assumptions which do not bear out, like this one. Topics in the Evangelical channel are right up your alley:

At The Intersection Of Time & Eternity: Pentecost

3 Reasons Contemporary Worship IS Declining, and What We Can Do to Help the Church Move On

A Pentecost Sermon: The Holy Spirit…


Oh, and my favorite for evangelicals:
The Art of Whining

Now go educate your prejudice away.

Sorry Euse this is just more evidence that you can't handle reality. Your mind goes to the "they are wrong" mode whenever you are presented with facts that fly in the face of your personal narrative.

No most modern day scholars are not wrong. It's you who is wrong...fact it.

Do you realize that the writer used direct quotes from the bible that were used in this response?

On that note then yes I agree the bible is a commie fish wrap...since that is a term you are familiar with. Never heard of it but since you use it I will agree on that note.

The writer on Quora who nicely put together the clear cut case that most modern day scholars also agree with is an atheist who has studied the scholarship on the historical Jesus, his Jewish socio-religious context and the origins of Christianity for over 25 years.

Was Jesus an apocalyptic Preacher?

Try again, he used direct bible quotes to make his case...now how are you going to ignore that? Scroll down and click the (more) link to find the biblical quotes.
