In New Testament studies there are often comments made about the geographic or political titles accuracy advanced in support of the accuracy of a given text. Also advanced, depending on the assigned dating, claims that the original writers were far closer in time, perhaps eyewitnesses to events, than we are and thus likely accurate preservers of the events. A point that is not often addressed in the knowledge that the ancients had is that Rome won the 1st Jewish War and in so doing gained censorship over any writings they deemed associated with this event. It would also have been known that Rome could be very intolerant of dissent with Roman citizens being exiled, on relatively rare occasion even being executed, while noncitizens received far harsher punishments for perceived violations. I often see this issue sidestepped by claiming that the Early Christians did not get along with the Jews and did not care about the Jerusalem temple, but in the aftermath of the war, would it not also have been beneficial to Christians to claim "bad, Rome-hating Jews, good Rome-loving Christians". Is it possible to examine this possibility and peal back the propaganda to find the actual truth?
