You're missing the point, ronedee. The whole point of this thread.
What? "straining on a gnat, and swallowing a camel"? Look I didn't read every post in this thread... only the OP....but:
There is more reason to believe the Gospel, just because of its small discrepancies!
If every account therein were exact, what meaning would it have on a personal level? We all see things differently, depending on our state of being at that time! That's the purpose of garnering as many witnesses as possible to get a complete account!
I can't believe I'm needing to explain all this!! Is this a slow news day?
The message "IS" the POINT! Period
If every account therein were exact, then we could say it was inerrant and infer that it was thus "the word of God" rather than reports by fallible men of remarkable events.
If they're not, we can't.
That's a big Bastard of a gnat. God doesn't / wouldn't make mistakes.
And yes people, I know there are bigger and more significant contradictions, but none so clear.
"Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken."
