   After the jw vatican's blunder on the construction of the "pole" on which   
   Christ died and the failure of the theory it was changed in the 4th century   
   flopped miserably:   
      
   >>>>Here we give friend james another chance to show the jw vatican has crack   
   >>>>scholors of biblical languages and 1st century history of bible   
   >>>>cultural and social matters in which the NT was embedded..  One must have a   
   >>>>good grasp of all of it to understand NT writings.   
   >>>>   
   >>>>Was Christ a Carpenter given NT greek?   
   >>>   
   >>Friend james doesn't answer; spin ensues:

   >>>What Scripture are you referring to?

   No, Matt. and Mark have different mentions.  The first said "Carpenter's   
   son"; Mark said "Carpenter" alone with reference to Christ's occupation in   
   the kjv/nwt   
      
   The answer is not yet complete; uing the crack jw vatican "scholarship" of   
   1st century palistine tells us what the direct translation of the above   
   "Carpenter" is?  Then have another go; was Christ a Carpenter based on that   
   crack language/culture/historical info over which the jw vatican has a   
   reliable fulll grasp?
