...you sound like a little boy who puts his fingers in his ears , closes his eyes and makes loud noises when he doesn't want to hear something that conflicts with his adolescent opinions .

There are contradictions because of scribal error and embellishment. They each made their own gospels to send out a different message. There is enough proof that Q exists within the literary analyses of the gospels.  Just like how a gospel like the Gospel of Thomas was not supposed to exist.

If you were familiar with the scholarship on the synoptic gospels, you would know that

1) It's impossible for all of the gospel writers to be eyewitnesses
2) the gospels copied off of mark wtihout regard for historical precedent

Quote (Santara @ Aug 11 2012 06:29am)

No, there is reason to induce that Q exists. There is no proof.

Quote (AEtheric @ Aug 11 2012 08:32am)

Yes. Just as there was no proof of the Gospel of Thomas except for in the writings of Irenaeus.

...there is still no proof the Gospel of Thomas existed !

...just stop . You are an embarrassment to the word scholarship itself . You never try to educate yourself about the Bible even though you have had countless opportunuties and many proddings and tips from me on how to do so . I doubt you even bothered to read what I copy/pasted for you .

wat.

We have found it and translated it, and I have read it many times.

...and you don't even see what you're doing here . I am again embarrassed for you and any claims you make to Biblical scholarship !

Well I had already factually stated that the Gospel of Thomas had proof of its existence in the writings of Irenaeus, all you said was, "Nuh-uh", didn't explain yourself, and now you're trying to say I am dumb because I didn't know what you're talking about.
