Jesus says that no one knows which way the wind is blowing. But, of course, he was wrong about that. The direction and speed of the wind are easily measured. Or is one misinterpreting this passage?
Or maybe 3:13, which conveniently seems to forget about Enoch and Elijah. Ooops, did Jesus forget about them?

Which is nicely followed by 15:6, where Jesus follows so many other passages that just like to talk about people being burned. Maybe like Isaac thought Abraham was going to do?
Regardless, burning people either here or in an afterlife is a biblical tradition that isn't promulgated much in today's world.
Why not? After all, it's in the bible and it must be right!
