  • There are phrases using Trinitarian words, but the doctrine was not established until later, which is why so many early Christians didn’t believe it and it was the Church’s first major schism.

    I’ll take your word on Joseph and legal lineage passing through dead first husbands.

    And thank you for the correction on birth place, I’ve poked about and it seems quite clear.

    I hope and biblical scholarship continues and we get more accurate translated off of ever older texts I, and everyone else, can keep up with where scholarship is at.


  • Edit: this original part is all about Trinitarianism:

    Hmm, I was sure they were not.

    Could I hassle you for passage numbers (and language and edition) to educate myself on the matter?

    Edit p2.: Matthew and Luke disagree on things like Joseph’s family and whether Jesus was born in or on the way to Bethlehem. As just two of the many discrepancies between the 4 Evangelist gospels.


  • Isn’t the fact that those accounts disagree with each other, and are in fact sometimes contradictory (and that important stuff such as trinity, holy ghost, all came much later) cause to suspect that a lot of core modern Christian tenets are not based in historical truth?

    Certainly there was a historical Jesus who did some stuff and inspired a religion. That much I think is indisputable.
