Best Answer
A:As long ago as the second century, the author of John's Gospel saw a problem in understanding Jesus as divine, yet seeking to be baptised by John the Baptist. He simply omitted the baptism of Jesus from his account of John the Baptist, although anyone familiar with the synoptic gospels would assume that Jesus was baptised. The same problem that the evangelist saw is now a problem for some Christians today.

Why could the Transfiguration cause problems for Christians today?

The Transfiguration of Jesus is an event in the gospels, in which Jesus took Peter, John and James up a mountain, where they saw his appearance change and he spoke to Moses and Elijah. They heard the voice of God from heaven. It is reported that over 90 per cent of scholars now believe that the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt never took place. Without an Exodus, you have no Moses. And without Moses, how could the story of the Transfiguration be true? And if the story of the Transfiguration is not true, then how much more of the gospel stories is not true. This is why the Transfiguration may cause problems for Christians today.
