Again no one person was privy to everything.
Quote:2. The Gospels tell plenty of tales that the supposed authors weren't privy to. Jesus' ordeals in the trials were related in great detail despite the fact that Peter was elsewhere, with the servants, at that time.Where was Mary/Mother Mary Magdline? Those who could write were rare. It was not possiable to have an actual writer pen down everything himself.
Quote:3. The problem is not just that events are inconsistent but that the order of events is different for each account.Jews did not prize Chronology in their accounts as we do, unless it was mandated/at a trial for example. So why would those writers write in a style not consistant with how they typically wrote?
Where/when does a little cross cultural accountability in to your argument? when do you take the time to study the people, the culture and the time frame what you are trying to tear down? Or were you truly under the assumption that everyone who has ever written anything down would record it the same way this generation, in this culture that speaks English would record their message in the same way?
