That's what I meant about the accounts not matching up. It's not just telling the same story from different perspectives. It's telling stories with important details being different from each other.
Accounts may not match up. That does not mean they contradict each other. A contradiction would be:
Matthew saying Jesus was crucified by Himself and Luke saying Jesus was crucified with two thieves.
That would be a contradiction.
Matthew could say Jesus was crucified with two other thieves and Luke could say that Jesus was crucified.
That is not a contradiction. Luke not mentioning the two thieves is him not mentioning the two thieves. That is it.
Of course I used those as examples.
Documenting the most earth shattering, history defining, humanity changing moment in earth's existence?
They leave out a few things do they? Cut some corners? Get a bit fuzzy with the details?
Bloody hell.
