Sources: John MacArthur- not part of originalcontents of John’s Gospel. No comments by any church fathers discussing untilthe 12th century. Vocabulary and writing style are different thanthe rest of John’s Gospel.

How variations are counted (my own quoting and paraphrasing) “Textualvariations.” Ambiguity about inconsistencies in entire NT. They minimize theproblem. “200,000 variations in NT…representing 10,000 places in the NT…” ex. If1 word is misspelled in 3000 in different manuscripts, this is counted as 3000variants.

A sanhedrin that executes once in seven years, is called murderous. Rabbi Eliezer b. Azariah Says: once inseventy years. Rabbi Tarfon and Rabbi Akiva say: “Had we been members of a sanhedrin, no person would ever be put to death. Rabban Shimon ben Gamalielremarked: “They would also multiply murderers in Israel.” This famous piece of mishnah testifies to some of the Rabbis’ deep hesitations with regards to the death penalty. As we have seen throughout tractate Sanhedrin and tractate Makkoth, convicting a person of a capital crime is no easy matter. The person must be warned beforehand and then the crime has to be explicitly witnessed by two valid witnesses.

Study of Jewish literature and laws and the gospels (John 7- circumcision and sabbath)

Some Recent Interests (idol worship topics, internet, beginning Avodah Zarah)A little about what I have been attempting to study lately. I have been learning off and on, skipping some days. But trying to prioritize learning before entertainment on YouTube or movies. So far the experience has been more fulfilling with studying and writing and reading, compared to zoning out.
