Third, in my perspective the portrait of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew is a teaching savior whereas to in the Gospel of Mark just does things. To sum it up,…

John chapter 8:6- 11 is part of the story of the adulteress woman. Where we all know was just a women brought by the Pharisees to try and trap Jesus. By using the law to trick him in a dilemma; as they thought that they had tricked him he had written in the sand. He said he without any sin cast the first stone.

I have always wanted to be Obi-Wan Kenobi. Not Luke or Anakin, despite always having an interest in the villain. Just Obi-Wan. When I was younger, my friends and I would often recreate our favorite scenes from Star Wars. Of course, ninety-nine percent of the time that meant reenacting the fight between Anakin and Kenobi from Revenge of the Sith (but I mean come on, two Jedis in a duel to the death while balancing over a lava pit, nothing is cooler than that). I know, I know, it may not be…
