But as the saying goes, one has to take off their own shoes before they can take a walk in someone else's moccasins, and similarly, when it comes to cases of The Bible vs. Tradition, one has to be willing to let go of the traditions of men in order to see the truth that is hidden in plain sight in the text of scripture.<br /> <br />TheFourthGospel.com has a free eBook that just compares scripture with scripture in order to highlight the facts in the plain text of scripture that are usually overlooked about the “other disciple, whom Jesus loved”. You may want to weigh the testimony of scripture that the study cites regarding the one whom “Jesus loved” and may find it to be helpful as it encourages bible students to take seriously the admonition “prove all things”.<br /><br />But one thing is for certain, and that is that there is not a single verse of scripture that would justify promoting the idea that the unnamed author of the fourth gospel was John -- not John the apostle or any other John.Johnhttp://TheFourthGospel.comnoreply@blogger.com
