<Drivel snip>We can read that even the Baptist (in prison) had heard about Jesus drinking too much and being with very unpleasant mates. Christianity tries to hide/deny that so maybe it is true?
Read Matthew:-11.2-18
The Baptist was clearly worried about what he had heard. And in 11:3 John asks 'Are you the one?' which, by the way, smashes all that stuff about those two being related in any way.
I wrote:- We can read that Jesus lead a very violent riot in the Temple, trashing the money-bazaar, and that he had enough followers to picket the Temple courts. Christianity prefers to push that incident in to the background, so maybe it is true?
and you replied:-
Quote:Push it into the background? And here's me thinking the church promotes the money changer yarn as a vital part of the story?By the time Paul was writing his letters there was NO MENTION of the above event, and in G-John the authors just popped a minor version of that event in to (about) the third week of his mission.
The Church took that event right out of the last week, to ensure that it could not be the reason for any arrest.
Which church were you thinking of?

Quote:Excellent; now where can I find it?In the gospels........ time to get searching for answers, then you might remember them, maybe?
