Totally NOT a debate about the veracity of the gospels

If they're not, we can't.

That's a big Bastard of a gnat. God doesn't / wouldn't make mistakes.

And yes people, I know there are bigger and more significant contradictions, but none so clear.

Look Jake... I see your point! But, its not a good one in the grand picture. Its not a deal-breaker. At least for the believer. And even maybe the agnostic.

When "humans" are involved? EVERYTHING is suspect.

The bible is a guide book... for me anyway! The Holy Spirit has filled in the blanks.

As the bible says: "Faith is needed before true understanding is given."

So there is your paradox! You don't have Faith. So, true understanding escapes you, as well as all in that state of being.
