Embellishments in the Gospel of Mark.

[Fake Messiah]

You say that you accept the opinions of "professional scholars"; what NT texts do you feel are misdated?

 Probably all of them, again i'm going to ask you to answer my first post to you in this thread, you seem to be afraid to. If you can't this ends our conversation, you did this to me the last time we had a discussion and I stopped even coming to the forum for few weeks, I get tired of your games.

What you mean this?

The Gospel of Matthew was written before the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the temple. Matthew's Gospel was heavy on prophecy it is an important part of the Gospel, so if the Gospel was written after the fall of Jerusalem and the foretelling of the temples destruction it would have been mentioned in Matthew's Gospel.

Oh no Jehanne! Why didn't you look at wikipedia when GC is obviously not capable himself?

Indeed, scholars agree that Matthew has the Jewish war with Rome and the destruction of the Temple in sight in verses like Matthew 22:7. But unlike Mark, Matthew doesn’t seem to be overwhelmed by the catastrophe; it seems to be further away in time and space. Instead, Matthew appears to be intensely concerned with troubling new developments in Judaism in the generation after the war, possibly including Christians being targeted by the Birkath ha-Minim (“Curse against Heretics”) that began with the post-war rabbinic court at Jamnia in the 80s.
