Challenge to atheists: I find your lack of faith disturbing!

Yes, but those were added very early on. And more importantly, they aren't evidence of systematic tampering.
Quote:How is it possible? Be sure to address the theological fuck-ups of Mark that Matthew corrects and how and why Mark would have ignored these corrections in your answer.
Mark 1:2-3: As it is written in Isaiah the prophet,
“Behold, I send my messenger before your face,
who will prepare your way,
the voice of one crying in the wilderness:
‘Prepare the way of the Lord,
make his paths straight,’”

Malachi 3:1:
“Behold, I send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me.
Isaiah 40:3:
A voice cries: “In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

Do you see Matthew try to correct this "error"?
Quote:Of no consequence since a different author wrote Acts.
Why do you think a different author wrote Acts?

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
