@divegeester saidHow odd it is that you should ask.
So what and whom are your referring to when you say people don’t recognise the real Jesus?
@pettytalk saidTo my knowledge the scriptures don't teach that Jesus "received" a better education than his human contemporaries.
But where in Scripture does it suggest that Jesus received a better education? And does Scripture also mention, directly or indirectly, anything related to Jesus' education in linguistics? Keep in mind that we are focusing on Jesus, the man, and must set aside the 'speaking in tongues' for this discussion.
@pettytalk saidWithout debating the issue, I agree with the scholarly consensus.
The question of whether Jesus spoke Greek has been debated among scholars.
Are there any scholars here which can shed light on what the debate was all about?

The above affirmation begs questioning.

@pettytalk said"You cannot fathom biblical logic because scripture is anything but logical, literally."
If I haven't impressed you, then I offer my warmest apology. However, I cannot say the same for you, because you do impress me. Likewise, with all due respect, you impress me as being a logical idiot. You cannot fathom biblical logic because scripture is anything but logical, literally.
@kellyjay saidGreat post kellyjay. Best I've read in a long time. I'm surprised it received so little attention. If it were about hate I think it would have gotten more responses. 😕
A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, 'What does love mean?' The answers they got were broader, deeper, and more profound than anyone could have ever imagined!
