go by what scholarship says instead of what the Book says.

The Priesthood, Scribes and Pharisees all felt threatened by a Jesus who did not conform to their expectations and taught the people Jesus could not have been the Messiah because He did not come as a conqueror. He disappointed them and they had been teaching the people what to expect when He came.

Christians today will believe their Elders, Preachers and Priests even when they teach contrary to what the Bible plainly says. People, respecting their scholarship, follow without questioning.

There can be no higher authority than the Word of God. If it is taken as the Word of God then it must believed over the teaching of man.

Never take what I write as gospel. Check it out against the Word.
