Gospel Contradictions: Sermon on the ?

[Drich]

You guys ever hear of a plateau? It's a plain on a mount.

And you see the mind of a fundie at work.... more or less.

A simple google search at work

Its this thing on the internets where you can search for stuff like this.

Matthew: 5 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain:

So, what you're saying is that "matty" doesn't know a mountain from a mole hill? For once we agree.

If we did agree this would have been our third agreement. The first had to do with priests being held to account for sex crimes against young boys, about a week before the pope resigned for harboring those monsters, the next time was on the seven sins not being a biblical precept but the work of some monk 1500 years ago.

If you look at the pics on the link I provided it shows half a dozen possible plateaus. Which means Christ literally stood on a mountain an a 'flat' spot.

I don't keep that careful a count.

As my father-in-law used to say, "even a blind pig is bound to pick up an acorn now and then." You can't always be wrong.

Anyway, it's all bullshit anyway.

the writers of Matthew and Luke were compelled to invent a setting for the delivery of the sermon that would be consistent with their story. Each did so within the purview of his own theology. In Matthew 5:1 Jesus goes up the mountain to deliver the sermon in the tradition of Moses on Mt. Sinai. The writer of Luke, on the other hand, has Jesus come down the mountain (6:17) to show him to be a true proletarian - a man of the people.

Blessed are the cheesemakers.

The reason I have to keep careful count of the times we are in agreement is every time it comes up I have to do a lot of research to ensure I am not blaspheming God some How. Because my first reaction is if you and I are on the same side then I have over stepped the line of scrimmage at some point and I am currently offsides... But I guess your pappy was right even a blind squirrel will find a nut every now and again.

As if it fucking matters.
