Embellishments in the Gospel of Mark.

[Drich]

it tells you in verse 24, so again what is the first word of verse 24. You are not getting away from verse 24 so answer my question what is the first word of verse 24?

After this his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion. (Luke 1:24, NIV)

Now, your point?

Erv says later and 15 other version say after these days Elizabeth became pregnant. 

Later, after, after these days... means verse 1-23 while Herod was alive was one time period. then Later, after, after these days... set up a new time period.. how much time? so much time Quintius is now regent/governor at the birth of Christ.

So lets review.. luke chapter 1 verse 5 used herod the great to identify the time period. so that means everthing written luke 1:1-23 happened durning the time of herod.
The verse 24
Later, after, after these days... meaning a large amount of time separates verse 23 and 24. Verse 24 begins a new time and it is marked with the borth of John which was fortold some time ago in verses 1-23.

Again how much time? the exact time was not know but enough time to have Christ being born under quintius rather than herod.

do you get it now?

Or maybe that's something you should have researched for yourself before imagining that you were battling atheist scholars and their positions?

-All- of the different ways that scholars have approached the construction and content of the texts have been done in the majority believing field of new testament studies.  You want to bicker with me, which sucks for you..since I'm informing you that you are only bickering with them.  Christians bickering with christians and then blaming it on "atheists", that train is never late.

what is there to research sport? the passage resolves itself. only pretend scholars or pretend theist who say the bible is full of errors or youtubers pretending to be both who clearly never read the bible before make the assertions you have. I am not pretending nor lying that i spent the time I have in study, and that time was not spent in a vacuum. I have had much guidance from people in the faith to jews in the faith to jews out of the faith i have studied with imams and even clerics with josephwitnesses and even Mormons. NO ONE who has ever read the bible and has a basic grasp of it thinks as you do.

Clearly you are convinced how about sharing your atheist buddy blog so I can see what you are on about.
