The Easter "Spell"

[precepts]

Re: The Easter Spell, lyiing Preachers

The world is under a spell!

Imagine there are four different resurrection day accounts. Which one did you hear this Easter? What does it mean when each Pastor/Preacher uses one of the four, and nobody notices the difference? Four different accounts, all four told at Easter, and no one takes notice or offense. Matthew's account:



Mark's account:



Luke's account:



John's account:

Jhn 20:1 The first [day] of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
Jhn 20:2 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.
Jhn 20:3 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.
Jhn 20:4 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.
Jhn 20:5 And he stooping down, [and looking in], saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.
Jhn 20:6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,
Jhn 20:7 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
Jhn 20:8 Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.
Jhn 20:9 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.
Jhn 20:10 Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.
Jhn 20:11 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, [and looked] into the sepulchre,
Jhn 20:12 And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
Jhn 20:13 And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.
Jhn 20:14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
Jhn 20:15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
Jhn 20:16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
Jhn 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and [to] my God, and your God.
Jhn 20:18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and [that] he had spoken these things unto her.

I wouldn't even get into the details, but which version or versions did you hear this Easter?

... Oh i get it you never got an Easter basket when you were a kid did you? This the greatest day of the year for a Christian and here you are all mad about some petty differences in the Gospels....so what? i never claimed the bible was infallible. The bible was written by men...good men....but still men capable of mistakes.

That does little for the arguement of four conflicting Easter stories. And yes, I would rather a stick upside my head rather than a basket from the Easter bunny which probably subliminally is Freddy Krueger.

Re: The Easter Spell, lyiing Preachers

Maybe it would help if you understood

Whose to say I don't? I've studied several calendars a couple quarters ago in my multi-disciplinary studies class that included calendars and concepts from a wide variety of cultures across a broad span of history. The class was called, "EthnoMathmatics" and covered all sorts of things including Fractals and African design. But that didn't answer the question - do you have two sites that are considered "beyond reproach" and agree? I've seen many that try already.

Not to put too fine a point on it but I did openly debate with the instructor and still achieved a solid "A".

Logic dictates you don't or you wouldn't be taking around the bush! lol

So you would 'rather a stick upside my head....' is that a typo or a cryptic message?lol

Re: The Easter Spell, lyiing Preachers

what part in confusing ? the stone rolled away or he aint there?

I don't think that's the issue here.

what is ?each of the 4 writers was writing to a different group of folks .each one saw something different. you can,t come in saying lying spell bound preachers .. do you believe in the death burial resurrection? and are you saved?

The point is you don't quote them as the gospel truth.

whats your point? the bible is full of contradictions? no man sees the details exactly the same. that means the gospel account wasnt a collusion. in law enforecment if the cop hears the same exact story from the witness. he will often doubt the witness account as it was rehearsed.

There are NO contradictions in the bible.

Maybe someone with enough time and patiences could help you out with this one. I can't.

To quote one of four different accounts and not explain that there are four different accounts is lying! The fact that the world hasn't realized this as yet is to be bewitched or under a spell!

Until I read the bible for myself, I can't tell you how much preachers I've heard say the bible was unfallible and without contradictions , which is ironic, because Moslems say it all the time but none take the time to point out the contradictions!

Joh 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

God gave us what we needed, not everything that ever happened. It is probably not important to know whether one His disciples belched after the feeding of the 5000.

2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

But as for Ishtar, you may be onto something there.

You do know that the first three are called synoptic Gospels for a reason don't you? And you do know that they were written at about the same time, don't you? And you do know the Gospel of John was written much later, don't you? And you do know that he omitted some information that was covered by the other three, don't you? And you do know that he filled in details the other three did not write, don't you? And You are aware of these two other scriptures aren't you?
