Guest,

My remarks about JN's "good Jewishness" are not something I made up, but are attested to in the New Testament. The Pharisees and other leaders of the Jews were "down" on him, constantly questioning him and his followers, about eating with sinners, prostitutes, tax collectors, and other low life. JN himself stated that "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath." And JN roundly criticized those who kept the letter of the (Jewish) law but not the spirit. As for the rest of it -- the Resurrection and all -- well, that falls into "matters of faith" and I won't get into that aspect of it.   And as Brucie wrote, I bid you all good day.
