In my opinion, the Bible is the definitive source for the life and times of Jesus. Why would John, who was there, and Mark, who tediously and
carefully reconstructed the Biblical accounts of the Gospel (Mark, btw was a doctor. He would know a thing or two about dead bodies,) say that he did
not drink the gall? Even the quote mentioned above says nothing about the gall in question
What?
I provided you with the scripture, I thought....here it is again:
<< Matthew 27:34 >>
New International Version (©1984)
There they offered Jesus wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, he refused to drink it.
New Living Translation (©2007)
The soldiers gave him wine mixed with bitter gall, but when he had tasted it, he refused to drink it.
English Standard Version (©2001)
they offered him wine to drink, mixed with gall, but when he tasted it, he would not drink it.
New American Standard Bible (©1995)
they gave Him wine to drink mixed with gall; and after tasting it, He was unwilling to drink.
King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.)
They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.
International Standard Version (©2008)
they offered him a drink of wine mixed with gall. But when he tasted it, he refused to drink it.
Aramaic Bible in Plain English (©2010)
And they gave him vinegar to drink that was mixed with gall, and he tasted and he did not want to drink it.
GOD'S WORD® Translation (©1995)
They gave him a drink of wine mixed with a drug called gall. When he tasted it, he refused to drink it.
King James 2000 Bible (©2003)
They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.
The Bible does not contain the Gospels that were discovered at Nag Hamadi, nor others that have been more recently exposed, nor has it been released
in the modern languages with those updates.....
because they don't want you to know!!!
But whatever. Clearly you are too lazy to look into these things, or too gullible to doubt them, or too afraid of the consequences if you
do.
Jesus himself wanted people to think outside the box, to refute the "priests", to be kind to others, and avoid the wealthy wolves who would decieve.
He was an Essene master. Those things are indisputable.
If you want it sprinkled with sawdust and poo, that's your business, I guess.
You'll understand one day, in the "future" as we know it. Until then, I encourage you to continue your personal development by listening to your
Higher Spirit alone, and not some poser who
says he knows more than you do and you
don't need to know.
Seriously, this material, and many many sources from dozens of credible theologists, historians, linguists, archaeologists, etc have been posted here
on ATS very recently. I'm able to see a pattern, though, among all you holier-thans....you won't even
look at the material, let alone accept it
as plausible.
You're stuck in the Middle Ages, in superstition based on lies and ignorance of natural laws, and a dusty old tome that leaves out more than it
provides, mixes it all up, and keeps you in the dark.
Wake up, please! Use your brain!
