Post #218 on page 22. Drich has ignored me, what have you?
Regarding the "sons of thunder" is it possible that Jesus was merely borrowing a cute nickname from the Hellenistic culture around him? I read that Galilee was somewhat more Hellenized than the rest of Israel. For example, Jesus might have simply meant that they were like twins and used the name of the famous twins from mythology.

You probably agree that Christianity copied elements from some sect of Judaism. We need a clearer and narrower definition of what we are trying to demonstrate about Christianity IMO.
