...a small followup on the erroneous gospel...
Was the tomb open when they arrived?
Matthew: No (28:2)
Mark: Yes (16:4)
Luke: Yes (24:2)
John: Yes (20:1)
is matthew lying?
Where were these messengers situated?
Matthew: Angel sitting on the stone (28:2)
Mark: Young man sitting inside, on the right (16:5)
Luke: Two men standing inside (24:4)
John: Two angels sitting on each end of the bed (20:12)
somebody is confused...
Where did Jesus first appear to the disciples (after the resurrection)?
Matthew: On a mountain in Galilee (60-100 miles away) (28:16-17)
Mark: To two in the country, to eleven "as they sat at meat" (16:12,14)
Luke: In Emmaus (about seven miles away) at evening, to the rest in a room in Jerusalem later that night. (24:31, 36)
John: In a room, at evening (20:19)
hmm, incosistencies piling up here. if all in the bible is true, then god is absolutely flat out confused. or somebody is lying. just for sports, i'll throw in another one...
Did Jesus stay on earth for a while?
Mark: No (16:19) Compare 16:14 with John 20:19 to show that this was all done on Sunday
Luke: No (24:50-52) It all happened on Sunday
John: Yes, at least eight days (20:26, 21:1-22)
Acts: Yes, at least forty days (1:3)
had enough cottons?
infact i'll throw a challenge at you. the conditions of the challenge are simple and reasonable. in each of the four gospels, begin at easter morning and read to the end of the book: matthew 28, mark 16, luke 24, and john 20-21. also read acts 1:3-12 and paul's tiny version of the story in I corinthians 15:3-8. These 165 verses can be read in a few moments. Then, without omitting a single detail from these separate accounts, write a simple, chronological narrative of the events between the resurrection and the ascension: what happened first, second, and so on; who said what, when; and where these things happened. the important condition to the challenge, however, is that not one single biblical detail be omitted. fair enough?
by the way, many people have tried, most famous of which were Thomas Paine some 200 years ago. he is one of the most respected biblical scholars of all time. he failed.
