Exodus 12:21-27: Moses sets up the passover, when the Israelites smear the blood of the lamb on their doorposts and the destroying angel passes over their houses when it kills the first born of Egypt..... Always seems like the plagues against the Egyptians were over kill. Your average Egyptian was no better off than the Israelites. Seems like if Israelites were tired of the slavery, they could have snuck off a few at a time during the night.
John 12: 45-57: Jesus had just raised Lazarus from the dead, and the Pharisees were at their wits end and planned to kill Jesus because the people liked him too much. So Jesus disappeared for awhile. This whole thing doesn't make sense. Seems like Pharisees could have had spies watching Jesus all the time and knocked him off anytime....... The Jesus I think about was a poor but civic-minded carpenter in Nazareth who couldn't afford traipsing around the countryside. I'm sure there was some divine guy that the religion is based on, but the whole thing is overblown for me.
