I’m not much for making major assumptions. Being that all of Jesus’ teachings that we find in the Bible are written accounts by people other than him, and they were all based on his verbal teachings, and the fact that there is no extant proof of his existence at all – it would be a wise thing to consider we know very little about the man and his life overall. You know what they say about assumptions…
