Totally NOT a debate about the veracity of the gospels

[Angrboda]

This is so ad hoc as to not be worth taking seriously. It's one of those "it could have happened" stories that apologists are so fond of. And Jesus "could have been" a man eating dinosaur. Out of nothing you dredge up that the color of soldiers robes, under certain conditions which are nowhere specified in the text, might have looked such that it could equally well be described as two different colors. And nowhere do you justify that all three ancient shades were used in royal or imperial cloaks. While we're at it, why don't we just "insert into the text" that Noah was the owner of a galactic hyper-ship building company he won in a poker game from a space-faring alien. It coulda happened.

Certain shades of certain colors look similar to if not identical to other shades of other colors, and this is irrespective of varying lighting conditions.

Does God mistake one color for another?
