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. Source: Phillip Schaft compared Gk vs English version of NTfinding 400 of the 150,000 variants caused doubt about the textual meanings.And 50 were of great significance. What are these 50?22:08 Source: Leviticus 20:10; Deuteronomy22:22). Law about adultery. 23.33 Source: Talmud- talks about when tobe put to death. “Bloody court” within 70 year period there was an execution itwas called a bloody court.

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. Therefore, the first opinion in our mishnah, concludes that acourt that executes once every seven years is a murderous ......

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. I have not found the internet to be very interesting or fulfilling lately.

Psychic experience story time (story starts at 41min, mortality, current mindset topics). Late night rambling. I had some experiences lately in my personal life, they possibly help account for some of my recent changes in interests. I have developed a brief interest in some New Age topics. I recruited a couple friends to try and explore some books at psychic shops together with me. It takes me about 41 mins to start the actual story.

Picking and choosing, Hypocrisy, Responsibility, Conviction, and Prejudice (Ego in Religion). Maybe I was a bit too annoyed, passionate and/ or irritable while recording this one guys! Sorry for the tone BUT I hope the ideas don't get turned off because of it. This is one of my favorite topics. People WILL disagree. Every spiritual or religious perspective varies. But why? (Maybe another time we can talk about how biology, life experience, and circumstances can attribute to opinions, convictions, and practices). I am not here to say that I know for certain that some people are wrong while others are correct. But I like to challenge various sides just in case. I DID get one of the Muslim comments I used incorrect and took it out of context, as they were talking about "stay at home dads" and not about "single parent dads" when it comes to spouses, marriage, and/ or raising kids. Let us see if I completely missed the mark on this one.
