Bible Note: Greetings MJH! Thanks for clearing that up about Dr. Bivin! I thought maybe you had heard something that I hadn't! :-) How do I deal with the differences in the Synoptics? I haven't really seen many that need dealing with at all. There is the famous placement of the cleansing of the temple. However, I would argue that it took place twice, not just once rather than try to say that John was simply wrong. If you have any examples in mind, it might be fun to discuss! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
