To me, the fact that I was in an “uninformed” state is a problem.

I'm still not convinced my "uninformed" state was so horribly bad. I'm thinking about all those misguided children of God who lived in blissful ignorance for 19.5 centuries. I could ask a thousand Chrisians about this "synoptic problem" and prolly nare a one would glow with excitement. Imagine that matthew was not the first book of the new testament.

I guess i still need more time to be convinced that "contemporary" scholarship, especially that which originated from the German high critics, is just what the church has always missed out on. Until then methinks brother Tomes should invest his valuable research assets on more pertinent topics.
