The Gospels and the war in Ukraine.

[Rev. Rye]

… And looking a bit further into it, I think we might actually both be off base. Apparently, it was more the Gospel of Mark which was written for the Romans. And given how two of the other three Gospels were obviously based on that one, it creates some obvious issues. That said, the part about the census was from Luke (whose intended audience was apparently the Greeks). This is probably what happens when you type the post on the toilet.

Matthew's Gospel was Jewish, yet, it blamed the Jews for Jesus' death ("his blood be on us and our children"), laying the foundation for the "crime" of deicide.

And took as its source something meant for Romans that helps absolve them of any guilt.
