How Jewish can Matthew be?
On the other hand - how Jewish could Jesus be? Way more Jewish than me - and I have 2 Jewish parents.
Matthew cleaned up a lot of the mistakes that Mark made regarding Jewish law and Jewish theology. For example, Jesus in Mark says divorce is never allowed. Matt taps Mark on the shoulder and says, "actually, we allow divorce if the woman isn't chaste on her wedding night."
Mark was a gentile and obviously clueless regarding Jewish theology.
Matthew also went to great lengths to write OT prophecy into the story to try to prove JC was the messiah, shamelessly lying his ass off about what the OT says to make that happen.
Matthew also has Jesus talking about who is most or the least in Heaven based on who has kept the law.
