THE CONTRADICTIONS OF THE GOSPELS -- BAPTISM OF JESUS

It's wellknown that the Gospel of John differs profusely from the synoptics (Matt, Mark. Luke) in the telling of the baptism by John the Baptist.

It's only in the musty, crusty, imaginations of medieval tomes that we read of anything from the... Sign in to see full entry.
