The Christmas nativity plays ...<i>nativity narratives</i><br /><br />The Christmas nativity plays and movies patch together the disparate pieces as well as add a few historical errors and anachronisms. At least the original authors couldn't be accused of plagiarizing each other.<br /><br />The story in John 8 is a different matter. Although the story can be traced to late in the first century, it was missing from all early manuscripts and was considered an insertion by a copyist centuries later. <br /><br />The story itself is generally misunderstood, and I heard GTA cite it in a sermon to warn his own accusers. The account says it was an attempt to trap Jesus, and it wasn't about mercy. The accusers were not following Torah due process, and Jesus essentially claimed it was a mistrial. "He who is without sin..." was in effect asking if there were any actual first-hand witnesses. None came forward, so case dismissed. It didn't mean the woman wasn't guilty, it just meant there was insufficient evidence for an execution.<br /><br />Hosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13285219921252563944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-20746371924283908602016-12-05T23:11:06.816-08:002016-12-05T23:11:06.816-08:008.14 AM I had some JWs come knocking on my front d...8.14 AM I had some JWs come knocking on my front door not long ago.

It's obvious that someone or several people of greater maturity 'PhotoShoped' and edited out many of his silly comments for later editions.<br />He's got the equivalent of Hollywood script writers, hidden away someplace, thinking up all these 'new revelations' together with supposed supporting scriptures.
