Question 5: January 30, 2010
'Some advocates of the Prosperity Gospel argue, in order to support the idea that Jesus was materially wealthy, that the one-piece robe that Jesus wore was extremely valuable. Have you ever seen any evidence to support this? And, if so, would you say that lends any credence to the Prosperity Gospel?

In a quick search I found nothing directly related, in fact this post was the first result on Goggle.

Eric Lyons states:
'After being flogged with a dreadful Roman scourge, Jesus was taken by Pilate’s soldiers into the governor’s headquarters where the whole garrison gathered around Him. It was here that the soldiers placed a crown of thorns on His head, a reed in His hand, and a robe on His body. Skeptics maintain that a contradiction exists between the Gospel accounts because they describe the color of the robe differently. Whereas Matthew says that the soldiers “put a scarlet robe” on Jesus (27:27-28), Mark says that “they clothed Him with purple ” (15:16-17), and John states that the soldiers put “a purple robe” on Him (19:1-2). These differences have lead some to believe and advocate that the Gospel writers wrote under their own power with no help from a Higher Being, and thus they contradicted one another in their narratives. Because increasingly more people are swallowing such allegations blindly and rejecting the inerrancy of the Scriptures, logical answers are required. The question is, do such valid answers exist for the differences in the Gospel narratives concerning the robe placed upon Jesus after His scourging?
All would agree that we oftentimes see colors a little differently. What one person calls blue, someone else may be more specific and call navy blue. A die-hard football fan may refer to his team’s color as dark red, whereas someone else who sees the team’s faded uniforms for the first time at the end of a grueling season may conclude that the team’s color is more maroon. While coloring pictures for their parents, one child may color an orange-yellow Sun, while the other draws a Sun that is bright yellow. Surely no one would accuse these individuals of lying or being deceitful because one was more specific than another. Likewise, skeptics have no solid ground on which to stand when they disregard common sense and create biblical contradictions that do not exist. The simple fact is, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John wrote from different perspectives; they did not participate in collusion. The same way that individuals today look at colors and see different tones, shades, and tints, the Gospel writers saw the activities surrounding the life of Jesus from different angles.'

Question 10: February 4, 2010
Son of God/Son of Man via Jeff

Answer
I think written will suffice for this one.
The term Son of Man is a controversial one, but from my reading I reason largely was used by Jesus Christ in the context of establishing himself in the mind of the follower and reader as the eventual ruler of humanity, the King of the Kingdom of God. So, the term Son of God has to do mainly with his deity and relationship with the Father, whereas the term Son of Man, primarily has to do with his humanity as Messiah and his position as King of the Kingdom of God.
