The 2P2P literalists and experts and biblicists and imams tell us that if it didn't happen in the bible then it is not real and it is a sin to think about it, like lusting after a woman.
so then we come to the problem of the census in Lk 2. Now, as you can see, it didn't happen "in" the Bible. It happened off-stage. We never 'meet' a real census taker or hear any details, so it can't be for real. It is sin. We can't say that it is a real event like John Baptising Jesus, because it is a sin.
So then in Acts 5 some guy who is not a Christian or an apostle is talking and mentions the census. Not only does he mention the census, he mentions a major revolt in Israel starting from the Galileans, and all the mess, also during the days of the census. But it's sin to think about it according the 2P2P experts. Because it is not really "in" the Bible. It's "in" history, and history is sin.
Holding up the whole christian world about 2 goats and a bull or about the great marvel that one of them departed for the wildernness is not sin, but the zealots fighting Rome--knowing anything about that--is like seriously gawking at a woman in a bathing pool across from the Bethlehem market.
Gosh, now the US is a sin because it happened "outside" the Bible and that turns everyone into a woman gazer. And Abraham Lincoln. and the Pope's hiring Ribera to redefine antichrist so the Protestants would have to stop being so mean, etc.
Thinking about the destruction of Jerusalem is therefore a sin and so all the people here at TOL who have ever thought about it are like porn-users of the days of old Judea, and must stop. Because even though it was mentioned off-stage in the Bible its not "in" it, so it has to be considered sin, and especially those who mention it. So is the guy who resembled Paul in Acts 21, but turned out to be an Egyptian in collusion with zealot forces or with the Idumeans who also wanted to bust the Roman hold on the Big Imperial Lake.
