"Gospel Quest" (or The Jesus Timeline)

[Undeceived]

This thread is devoted to discrepancies between the gospels and descrepencies between the gospels and history. It doesn't matter if those descrepncies were because the writers were liars or because they just copied down faulty oral history. The point is that they are really really wrong. That means that they don't prove Jesus.

At this point they are only apparent discrepancies. Any so-called "discrepancy" you find has a Bible scholar's explanation why it is not a discrepancy, but merely a misunderstanding of culture/literature/person ect. The difference between you and I is I believe the scholars. And more importantly, I believe the evidence (scriptural context, historical context, archaeology, ect) that the scholars cite.

If you want to believe god is good, fine, but recognize you'll have to ignore a lot of scripture to do it.

Do you believe that God judges people because he hates them, his own creation? Are there not other possible explanations? Why do you adhere to your explanation over the others?
