Subject: Was it complete? |
Bible Note: Thank Tim, for your reply. You said: "There is not a requirement that every book in the NT must list it!" Okay, but my point was/is that if there was a definitive requirement, then it would seem, appropriately and commonsensically, that Mark would have listed it. To role play, if I had been the author of this Book, I certainly would have wanted to list it. And the same for Matthew. It is difficult for my thinking to believe that they knew and did not convey it. In trying to approach this absense in a reasonable and prudent manner, I am left with doubts as to whether or not they were privy to the information. I may, indeed, be incorrect, but feel it is a legitimate observation that something so central, so critical, would not be overlooked. Luke? Not sure what he does, but I'm sure, when the mood strikes, I'll try to find out. I hope he mentions something about it. Two not mentioning it is problem enough--hope it isn't three. :) Treadway |
