Revealed Truth from God? Why then do the descriptions of the discovery of Jesus' empty tomb, as provided in the four gospels, disagree? Each of the four gospels describes the event differently, with a different cast of characters in each one. If God is making sure the writers get it right, why then do they disagree?
Eye witness accounts? Who witnessed the temptation of Jesus in the desert, when Satan offered him the world? Are we to believe Jesus later re-told the story, bragging about how he resisted Satan?
Who witnessed the prayers in Gethsemane? According to the account, the disciples were sleeping while Jesus prayed to God. Are we to believe Jesus whined to the disciples about how he prayed to God to be delivered and was refused?
So which is it: God-inspired truth (in which case God couldn't tell the story of the empty tomb the same way twice) or eye-witness (in which case whomever wrote the stories of the Temptation and Gethsemane invented these stories)?
