Makes no difference.

The synoptic gospels are not. John was written about 90 years after the crucifixion supposedly took place and seeks to establish a radicalization of the stories in the synoptic gospels.

The entire NT is a theological dogma document. It exists because it was needed to differentiate those who followed the Christ from the Jewish people.

The OT is not history. It is mythology.

As for who is a Christian and who isn’t? I don’t care. Their words mean nothing in comparison to their actions.

As for Trump voters? Their votes show more about fear of changing demographics as well as misogyny than anything else.
