The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Matthew was just trying to repair the damage to James, very likely.

Paul: OT is gone except the parts I like

James: OT is still there even oral parts drifting around it.

A huge difference in how the religion should be practiced.

Now if you were a writer 5 decades later and needed to redeem the image of James, while still showing that he was wrong, this could be a good way to do it. It wasn't that James was super wrong, he just misunderstood something Jesus said at one point. Could happen to anyone.
