Jesus lives. These differences in fact effectively refute any agnostic claims that the biblical story was faked since if it was, the stories would match up. The important fact matches that Jesus rose. Trivial matters such as at what time/who was there, etc. are irrellavant to God and salvation.

The story would still have spread and evolved through the retellings, I would think that if it was true God would somehow use his power to make sure it wasn't corrupted and misleading to future listeners. Secondly how can you possibly put any faith in the bible if not everything is true. Who's to decide what is correct and what isn't? And in any case how could god stand these inaccuracies in "His Word"? how would the story not matching prove one way or the other if it was made up or not?

If i was belieiving in this stuff, i'd want my holy book to be watertight. The more i study the bible, the more ridiculous it gets. .. have you checked out something called.. ADULTERAE PERICOPE? ..This is a core teaching in the bible .. yet there is no mention of it until about 500 years after Jesus's death. iwugrad, .. how can you possibly say that these matters are irrelevant?.

The little brat keeps making shallow and decietful 'critiques' of your work, DP, and uses misleading icons and titles to camoflage his garbage as the original article.

The Bible is clear that we don't think like God does (Not many non Christians should theorize that we do), so to say that God has to root out every single irrelevent issue is incorrect. Perhaps He's satisfied that people who don't want to believe in him can find excuses (but I don't think like God, so I can only guess if that's why.)

It was someone who had their icon as a picture of someone throwing religious symbols in the garbage, so it was at least slanted towards the atheist side.) Even in that video, the examples were underwhelming. The poster himself said that none of the differences change the core beliefs of Christianity. It's remarkably similar after many centuries.

What? You think Matthew, Mark Luke and John were all inspired by the almighty, but inspired differently as to matters of fact? Sure! THAT makes sense! @iwugrad Actually, if the bible were as advertised, divinely inspired and free of error, you would expect the stories to match up. What?

Some people invent a God in their mind that would intervene from allowing someone to write that there were differing people at the resurrection site, then think there's no God at all if the living God doesn't behave like they want Him to. It's proof then that the God they invented in their mind doesn't exist, but the fact remains that God as shown through Jesus exists. @Largo64 It’s a sin to lie, steal, kill, etc., but an important one to remember is not to create a god in your own image.
