Quote:However, might I gently suggest that the lack of references indicates the Synoptic writers were being careful to avoid reading back into their accounts the Christology they were developing?
Or, they were writing before that "christology" developed? Recall that there were many "gospels" which were rejected by the church for one reason or another and the final canon of the bible was not fixed until the late 4th century in the West and even later in the East. Even then, we have evidence that individual books were edited.
But thanks for a reasoned discussion on the issue. So different than what we normally get from the fundies.
