As a Buddhist it always perplexed me why Christians would willingly acquiesce to jewish scholars regarding their faith & the study of their Bible. Prager comes to mind as an example.

Well, for one, Prager is ethnically Jewish. Does that influence what he says? I don’t know, but it’s worth being aware of.

For two, it’s because they were practicing the faith Christianity came out of.

I’ve been deeply interested in resolving the gaps, where I don’t believe any faction, as a group, has the answers right (nor do I believe I know it all, as I most certainly do not). They do have information about contexts that Christians do miss, though. That’s fine. Christians have corrections in understanding that they missed, too.

Jesus said who he was here for. He said what the apostles were trained for. He said what would happen. He said what his purpose was, and what his purpose was not.

Funny thing was how nobody truly humbled themselves and listened.

“It’s this or that.”

“But what if it’s not?”

“No, it’s this or that.”

Hegelian dialectic isn’t new, only the name for it. “These are the sides, neither side is right, now pick a side” is just human nature.
