People get so excited when I tell them I'm reading the bible.
(Had to do something after catching up on JoJo's...)
They also lose that excitement as soon as I start asking questions.
It's the strangest damned thing.

How on Earth does someone know the perspective of the Pharisees after the death of Jesus in Matthew?
Matthew 28:11-15, specifically.
Did the Holy Spirit reveal this to the writer?
If yes, why was that part not mentioned?
If no, where does this narrative come from?

Here's another question:
Even if he was shouting at the top of his lungs...
How could 5,000 people HEAR Jesus?
(Bread and Fish aside.)

Furthermore!
Matthew 15:21-28, & Mark 7:24-30
How they describe her and where the scene took place aside:
Did someone follow her back to to her house to see that the daughter was healed?
Matthew simply says it happened.
Mark tells of her going home and finding the child in bed.

"The Yahweh of my Adonai..."
The LORD of my Lord...
Is in reality:
God said to David.
Because Psalm 110 is in third person...
About David.
But in the New Testament, it becomes:
"Jesus is the Lord beneath The LORD..."
Somehow.

Aight, so...
I'm having trouble finding something.
Jesus went off to pray with Peter, James, and John, but he left them somewhere and went on his own. While he was gone, they fell asleep. This happened three times.
At what point did Jesus tell them what he prayed?

I've made it to Luke and outside the repetition, I'm left wondering...
Where did the stories of what Jesus did before he picked up the apostles come from?
Sure, Jesus could have claimed that he did it, but I thought the power of the apostles came from their being WITNESS?

Still working through Luke.
Not sure why the others felt the 72 weren't worthy of mention.
That and the likely many, maaaany conversations they had with him.
One would think that, with the time spent with Jesus, there would be more to say, instead of NLP style repetition.

Skeptical and open.
Butterflies eventually return, as per The Norm.
Ain't that right, @farfalleus?
Luke 15:11-32 is relatable.
Mine was never found.
I'm always held to the higher standard.
Wondering about where I'd be if I'd had the sense to fall.
How much easier is corruption?

Further:
There's something to be said about being thankful that "at least somebody worries about you."
And it's a lonesome position to be one no one has to worry about.
That's what makes it nice when you do.

Couple things:
Between Mark, Matthew, and Luke... first it's a Donkey and a Colt, then for the other two it's just the Colt. What happened?
Story of Lazarus... doesn't Jesus raise Lazarus later? Where did all the embellishment come from?

Something else that's bothering me...
"By whose authority do you do these things?"
"Well, by whose did John do anything?"
The Pharisees would have said "John is just doing the Essene stuff, which is man made", but they were afraid of getting their asses kicked by his followers.

It's a weird "don't anger the mob" sorta thing, because they had been convinced that John was Holy.
Compare that to the Democrats not admitting that George Floyd killed George Floyd via a fentanyl overdose.
They are afraid of the mob, so they must act accordingly.

Uh... Luke?
Where's the "Father! Why have you forsaken me?!"
Why was it replaced with: "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!"???
You'd think the last words of the Christ would be ALL written down, right?
What's going on?

And then... WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GUARDS FROM MATTHEW?!
Mark and Luke's timeline has the women arriving after the boulder was already moved and there's no mention of guards.
Was there one being or two?
Sitting on the boulder, in the tomb on the right, or beside them?
Hmmmm?

How.... hooooow did none of the stuff at the end make the cut for Mark and Matthew?
Good Ol' Best Buddy Cleopas went and told THE ELEVEN, and then he hung out with the eleven "while they were still talking" and then went and ascended.
Not worthy?

Just started John and already I'm scratching my head.
Simon Cephas Peter and Andrew were followers of John the Baptist who were just hanging out and heard someone passing by say something about Jesus and they followed him.
WHAT HAPPENED TO ZEBEDEE AND THE BOATS?!

The story about the Samaritan woman at the well, with Jesus and only Jesus... again, if the others were there after, why did they not mention it?
What's more, something was added in John.
The ability to tell time.
How were they telling time?
"It was 4pm."
"It was exactly 1pm."

John 6:21
How is it that the other three didn't think BEING TELEPORTED TO THEIR DESTINATION (the opposite shore) was worth writing down?
Did it just sorta slip their minds?
Walking on water is cool and all but WHY DOES NO ONE TALK ABOUT JESUS'S ABILITY TO TELEPORT FOLKS?!

This one's a classic question: John 12:6
"Judas blah blah blah moneybag, which he would help himself to."
Mmmmm... how would anyone know this?
What was he spending that money on?
Who was looking into the money bag?
WHY were they?
Or was just added for flavor?
Makes no sense.

Why is it that, in John 17, Jesus no longer went off by himself to pray, but instead prayed aloud for everyone, and it's wildly different than when he was asking for God to save everyone through a different means?
WHY IS JOHN SO TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHERS?

WHERE DID THE KISS GO IN JOHN 18?!
That's an entirely different set of events. -_-
Now, Jesus wasn't pointed out to the Romans with their secret "common greeting" code... oh no!
He went to the Romans to tell them HE is who they were looking for!
I... just... WHAT?!

I'm just gonna pause right here.
If I keep reading this and find out that Jesus had magical powers because of Midi-Chlorians, I'm gonna lose it.
Why is John such a retcon?
Were the first three books not convincing enough?
Something I didn't notice by reading them out of order.

John 18:38.
"What is truth?"
(John's) Pilate should have waited for an answer.
Imagine if Truth had been capitalized.
How about you pray for some gnosis on the matter?

And then afterwards, Jesus pops in on the 12-Thomas (this time)... after appearing to Mary Magdalene at the tomb, in this version.
And then the "too many fish" from Luke (closer to the beginning), except this time he'd already been crucified.
How is there so little consistency?

And the end of John conveniently ends with "and Jesus did a bunch more stuff but that'd be a whole lot of reading and would fill too many tomes, so don't worry about it."
Cuz, y'know, people don't need more convincing and "who'd even be interested in reading all that?"
Obviously.

Acts 5:1-11 straight sounds like a mafia shake down.
"You've sold all that you worked for! Great! Gibbz the money!"
"What's this?! You got more than this for your land! We demand ALL OF IT, or you will die!"
And Ananias am die.
Followed by his waifu.
So scary!
Must gibbz.

Acts... why tell the story of the "No Lord, I will not defile myself by eating unclean animals!" multiple times outside of NLP?
Secondly, did Simon Peter forget that Jesus said that nothing that goes into the mouth defiles the body, but only what comes out?
Dafuq, Pete?

Why does Acts randomly switch to "we"?
Who was the writer of Acts (and Luke)?
Was it Saul/Paul? Silas? Timothy joined the group, too... so was it his perspective?
Where did the first person come from?
Why does it stop after Acts 16?
Does it randomly happen again later?

Romans:
Paul says that only God's elect will receive Da Wae, but the rest will have their hearts hardened and will not accept the Word...
Thus completely negating the point of giving anyone Free Will in the first place, since it doesn't matter what you choose.
Darned calvinists.

But on the flip side:
OF COURSE A PHARISEE WOULD SAY THAT!

"Here's what we're gonna do: We're gonna take the reader to a cliffhanger, and then we're going to insert a bunch of flavor so that they really get attached to Paul, then behead him."

Does Luke/Lucius ever start writing again?
Was Lucius mentioned in Matthew, Mark and/or John and I spaced on it?
Seems like Lucius wasn't there for anything Jesus did, let alone even met the guy... and everything he got he got from Paul, who also wasn't involved, and Matt/Mark.

Then, even after Christ Jesus said to keep the Law, Paul tries to talk down to Peter for teaching so.

Pause to stress:
For all the warnings and rebukes from Paul about people teaching gospel that is not in line with THE Gospel... he's the one doing it.
Can we change the title from "The Epistles" to "The Pauline Projection"?

Anyway, onto Ephesians!
"Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God..."
SON OF A BITCH!!!

Beginning of Ephesians:
OH LOOK! CALVIN'S BACK!
OH LOOK! CALVIN'S BACK!
FINALLY!
Got to a good part.
One of Q's favorites:
Ephesians 6:10-18
Why just those?
Because Paul then proceeds to make it about himself again.
Anyway, onto Philippians!
"Greetings from Paul and the one whom some call Tim!"
They really did leave a cliffhanger regarding Caesar.

Philippians ends talking about money.
Always seems to get around to money at some point.
What really stuck out was the "fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God."
Why didn't Paul rebuke them?
Why would any sacrifice after Christ be "pleasing"?

Anyway onto Colossians aaaaaand it's Paul.
WITH TIM!
I find it odd that Paul seems to not know that Jesus resurrected people as a hobby...
He wasn't the first one to "wake up".
But oh wait... it's Paul.
This is all based on revelation, to him, personally.
I'll shut up and read.

There he goes again.
Stressing himself and how he's only staying alive for the sake of others, suffering as he goes because he just refuses to leave because he could be with Christ whenever he wants but he chooses to stay!
Why did he appeal to Caesar, again?
Beheaded by choice?

First Thessalonians done.
Onto Second.
Now with Silvanius!
Let's see what Paul pulls out of thin air, this time!
What else does he claim is pleasing to the Lord???

Straight up, where'd the intro to 2 Thessalonians come from? Was it more revelation from Paul? I don't remember Jesus saying those things.
Where'd the whole "man of lawlessness" come from, Paul?
Were you pulling from your language as a Pharisee?
Or just making things up again while you write to people in "an authoritative manner", even though everyone knows you have nothing to say in person, written by your hands?

Next is Timothy!
A letter written from Paul to one of his cohorts.
LET'S SEE HOW THIS ONE GOES!

1 Tim 2
Paul hands people over to Satan?
Women aren't supposed to braid their hair?
"I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain silent"???
WHEN DID JESUS PROCLAIM ANY OF THAT?!

1 Tim 5
All this stuff about widows...
Paul hated women, huh?
But whatever happened to it being better to NOT wed?
Now he's saying to get married?
And this part about not bringing charge against an "eleder".. Something something catholic priests something altar boy something...

And the letter to Tim ends with Paul protesting too much, as usual, about people who teach differently than Jesus.
Y'know... If I were to listen to Paul, then I'd completely ignore Paul.
Onto the next letter to Dear Ol' Tim!

2 Tim 1
"You are aware that all who are in Asia turned away from me..."
A. Shocker!
B. It's not about YOU Paul!
C. Where'd they turn? Back to Jesus and HIS teachings?

2 Tim 3:10-11
"You, howver, have followed:
MY teaching,
MY conduct,
MY aim in life,
MY faith,
MY patience,
MY love,
MY steadfastness,
MY persecutions and sufferings..."
Paul Christ, everybody!
Don't worry about the other guy!

End of 2 Tim:
If Paul were truly an apostle, why did he have sick people among him that he would leave behind?
Surely he could have simply rebuked the demons in the name of Christ Jesus and they would be able to continue on, if his claims are legitimate, right?

Titus 1:14
"... not devoting themselves to Jewish myths..."
You mean the ones Christ was based on and fulfilled?
Paul's Roman side is coming out in this one!
You'd think a Pharisee who whimsically dictates that Christians follow arbitrary points of The Law would be more reverent!

Titus 2:9
This isn't the only place, but Paul sure is all about slaves not only remaining slaves, but being good little slaves.
Quick question:
How is a slave hearing about this stuff?
Especially if they never leave their master's house?
Is this supposed to be a Master's tool?

Just finished Philemon!
And I think that means I'm done with these dreadful, petty letters.
"I'll totally pay you even though you owe ME!"
Moooney money money.
But now the question is... who wrote Hebrews?
Was it Paul or a follower of HIS?
Can't seem to find a clear cut answer.

Hebrews 2:6
Hebrews 3:1-2
"...consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession, who was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses was also faithful..."
That... that's not the story at all!
Is Paul trying to knock Jesus down a peg to HIS (supposed) level?
Conceited much?

"When Christ said..."
That's Psalms.
Melchizedek was a title.
Can't find that Jesus was from that lineage.
Reeks of Paul.
ONTO JAMES!
Finally. 😑

Am I supposed to poo-poo works like Paul says or perform them like James says?
Onto Peter.
Onto Peter.
Finished both Peters.
Surely, if Paul were an Apostle, Peter would have addressed him as such.
Onto 1 John!

1 John 2:26-27
It's like he's calling someone out but... gosh golly... I just can't put my finger on it...

Just finished the rest of # John and Jude.
Deeeeefinitely seemed to be calling someone out.

HA!
Revelations 2:2
Paul gets called out AGAIN!
"...but have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and found them to be false."
Dude reaped what he sowed.

Rev 14:3-4
"...the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth... they are virgins."
I'm sorry, what? How had I missed that part?
God's Elect, the 12(12 * 10^3)
ALL VIRGINS?!
Kinda throws a bit of a wrench into Calvinism.
Do you risk it & multiply?
What if your seed is Elect?

Aight, New Testament cover-to-cover read-a-thon is complete.
I'm not sure what #QAnon was hoping I'd get out of this, but I now have a newfound disdain for Paul, Luke, and the rest of their cohorts.
Why they got the majority of the focus, I have no idea outside of perversion.
