Background:

Resurrection Chronological Table: http://wp.patheos.com.s3.amazonaws.com/blogs/crossexamined/files/2013/03/Resurrection_-Chronology.pdf

Matthew 28: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2028

Mark 16: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark%2016

Luke 24: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2024

John 20: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2020

Questions:

I have some questions for the Christians that frequent this board.

1) How many women came to the tomb? One (John)? Two (Matthew)? Three (Mark)? More (Luke)?

2) What were the last words of Jesus? Three gospels have three different accounts of his last words.

3) Was the tomb already open when they got there (Matthew indicates the tomb was open, the other three claim it was closed)?

***Please do not respond in defense of the Bible or Christianity in this thread without directly answering questions 1 through 3 first. Thank you.***

Those are my three questions concerning the resurrection story, which is arguably the Bible's most important story because one of the central themes of Christianity is Jesus' crucifixion (died for sins) and subsequent resurrection.

Potential follow up questions only for those who answer questions 1 through 3 in numbered format: Do you acknowledge these accounts in the gospel as contradictions? If not, how? Do you believe the Bible was divinely inspired by God? If you do acknowledge the gospel accounts contain contradictions, do you still believe the Bible was divinely inspired by God?


...my question - why are you so angry with God and Christianity in particular ?

Do you interpret me asking legitimate and hard questions for you to answer as being angry? If so, that explains a lot.

Edit: Also, please read:

...deceptively changing tactics midstream does not alter you previous expressions of open hostility toward Christianity . You might want to think about this the next time you have the opportunity to make a good , first impression .

Deceptive? The requests of this thread were made abundantly clear, and you can at least acknowledge these three legitimate questions unless you want to derail this thread for the sake of attacking me instead of addressing an actual topic asking 3 legitimate biblical questions.

Now, please either answer these 3 questions directly, or post somewhere else:

1) How many women came to the tomb? One (John)? Two (Matthew)? Three (Mark)? More (Luke)?

2) What were the last words of Jesus? Three gospels have three different accounts of his last words.

3) Was the tomb already open when they got there (Matthew indicates the tomb was open, the other three claim it was closed)?

Thank you.

The titles of the Gospels are "the Gospel according to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John." As previously noted, people have different perspectives, and that does not mean that they are mutually exclusive.

But they speak the divinely inspired word of God. So either they were divinely inspired to lie, three different things happened at the same time or they weren't divinely inspired at all and are just talking shit.

For the sake of not being a hypocrite in my own thread:

1) Alex

2) Learn more about Biblical discrepancies and see if any users have any different ideas/explanations than what I've read on the internet to try and explain why there are different accounts of the story of Jesus' resurrection in the Holy and Divinely inspired Bible

3) Blue
