Comments on: Was Jesus Not Crucified? http://www.rethinkmonthly.com/2010/07/was-jesus-not-crucified/ rethinking God in today's culture Wed, 14 Dec 2011 04:49:37 +0000 hourly 1 By: Bob Chapman http://www.rethinkmonthly.com/2010/07/was-jesus-not-crucified/comment-page-1/#comment-1303 Bob Chapman Tue, 06 Jul 2010 18:46:54 +0000 http://www.rethinkmonthly.com/?p=2751#comment-1303 This highlights one of the many problems of a "Sola Scriptura" approach.
