Talk:Mystery: Was John a Samaritan (view source)
Revision as of 22:39, October 11, 2025
, 22:39, October 11, 2025The weight of evidence strongly favors the view that the Apostle John was Jewish. Also, why the position that John was a Samaritan is an exceedingly weak position
"No, Apostle John was not a Samaritan. He was a Galilean fisherman who became one of Jesus's twelve apostles. While John and his brother James are depicted as reacting with fiery zeal when Samaritans rejected Jesus, this was corrected by Jesus himself. Apostle John's actions later in his life, particularly regarding the early church and the conversion of St. Paul, demonstrate a shift towards more compassionate and loving leadership." - Google AI Overview.[https://www.google.com/search?q=apostle+john+was+a+samaritan&oq=apostle+john+was+a+samaritan&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIGCAEQLhhA0gEJMTcyMjNqMGoxqAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8] [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 22:20, April 17, 2025 (EDT)
