I'm with you on this one, RR.  Your jesus was so fucking stupid he didn't know where he was going.

See?  We can agree.

Nope.... I think it went over your head.

Nah.... because even whatever asshole wrote "matthew" recognized that mark was a shithead and tried to correct his error.

Matthew recognized Mark's blunder and tried to correct Gerasa to Gadara (the Matthew story also contains two demoniacs instead of one so Matthew's version of the story contains two contradictions with Mark) but Gadara was still six miles from the lake. Luke retains Gerasa in his version indicating that Luke didn't know much about Palestinian geography either.

That is a pretty bad one too. Would you like to discuss it, or abruptly change topics again.

Keep bending and twisting, GC.  Virtually all Biblical and classical scholars, even believers, believe that the Bible is not without error.

Then they are wrong, no error nor contradiction has ever been established or successfully argued. What I did was look up the maps and roads available to me last night and it made sense for Jesus to take the route He did. I see you failed to make a claim of your own that contradicts what I said. Brilliant argument.

In 1st century Palestine, there were Roman roads and people did use them.  It's like someone saying that they sailed to Europe from the United States by going to the West.

Yes there were, but the road from Damascus to the southeastern side of the Sea of Galilee was there before the Romans. Rome wasn't interested in building roads everywhere like we have today, they built roads to move the military quickly to different areas. There were trade route roads established in the Middle East long before there was a Roman empire.

GC,

I am not a classical scholar, I admit that, but I doubt that you or anyone else is so "brilliant" as to get a PhD in any subject, and by that very fact, be the cause of some major paradigm shift in academic studies in any academic discipline.

The fact that there are so few scholars who are Biblical inerrantists should tell you something, shouldn't it?

I don’t believe that was what GC was arguing. I for one, wouldn’t expect scholars (even Christian ones) to let the doctrine of inerrancy interfere with the historical work.

I don’t think one’s needs a PHD to know that if you can get to Y from X and you can get to Z from X, then one could travel from X to Y to Z. Possibly with other places that where not mentioned in between. This isn’t rocket science that we need to appeal to authority.

Ken Ham does exactly that. "It's right because it's in the Bible."
