I love when progressives point out something like Jesus talking about the law in a way different from ancient Jewish Mosaic law and acting like it's some great secret that traditionalists try to hide. All that shows is that there is a difference between Mosaic law and the law that Jesus was talking about. Jesus addresses this in other places as does Paul.

I have been wondering about this question for a while now and I cant find the answer!!! So if you know the answers tell me. The names Matthew, Mark, Luke and John...why are they such simple names! Why do they all have only four letters in their names except for Mathew! I would think they would have a complicated name that would be hard to pronounce and unique like Jesus... So why such simple names and why are they only 4 letters
