How come the Gospels were written from different, conflicting perspectives if they were inspired by the Holy Spirit?
Shouldn't they be told from the Holy Spirit's prespective since the Holy Spirit was inside of them?
Shouldn't the Gospels have no conflicting reports if they were inspired by the Holy Spirit?
How come the other Gospels didn't record the I am's attributed to Jesus(pbuh)? John was the latest writer out of all of them.
If the Holy Spirit is God then is God responsible for telling conflicting geneologies of Jesus in Matthew 1:6-16 and in Luke 3:21-31?

What does it take to get people to read your entire question? My question wasn't even that long.

The holy spirit didn't hold their hand to record what they experienced... it merely helped them to remember.... God wanted us to have different perspectives....... Why would he want four books with exactly the same info... that wouldn't make sense... he wanted us to see things from different angles apparently.

Friend I did answer your last question, But evidently it was not the answer you wanted, I only answer a question in the correct way, If it don't fit what you want me to say, then you are not wanting any truth. The Holy Ghost did not & will not ever go against The 4 gospels, Paul said If our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost, & also Apotle Paul said if we or an ANGEL FROM HEAVEN preached unto you any other gospel or doctrine than what we have preached,, let him Be accursed, So therefore Even thou the 4 gosepels use different words, their end results was the same revelation on the subject, We don't have to quote word for word of what Jesus said, that will be a copycat, But we can as a different indivisdual, use our own words, In a different setting, just as long as when we are done we all have the same revelation. It may take me 20 minutes to say something & someone else 10 minutes, but the end results will be the same revelation.

Different people wrote these books based on their experiences at that time. Yes they were inspired by the Holy Spirit, but what are some of the conflicting perspectives you are talking about?

4 complimentary sources. Each complimenting the other. 4 guys describing the events they saw in their own words.
Conflicting geneologies aren't really conflicting. One goes through one side weaving through the generations in one way focusing on the fact that Jesus was of the tribe of Judah fulfilling prophecy....the other wove through focusing on the fact that Mary was His mother. With such a long geneology, you can expect that down through the lines, that the geneologies dissected each other and overlapped in that my own geneology could be described the same way. One family might split off into another family and reinter when a few generations later a distant relation married the brother of another distant relation. Both legal and perfectly good geneologies.

Just like when a crime happens you take all of the witnesses accounts of the scene. You need the different perspectives to realize the entire situation and how it effect each one differently. Not everyone remembers the scene the same and some may leave out items or interpreted them in their own way.
The Holy Spirit is in all of us, but we are just human - thus the conflict.

I heard the conflicting geneologies where mary's line and joseph's line. (thus two separate geneologies). Mary and Joseph were cousins (so I was told), which is why they're so similar.
And the different gospels were meant for different audiences (I forgot who was talking to the Jews and who to the Greeks). So they emphasized different things.
I haven't read the originals though, just translations.
what's pbuh mean?

The bible was put together at the time of emperor constintine and paul. The goal was to control the masses. Was the bible written with the bias of the men writting it, of course. Were their many valid books left out, yes!. The bible was put together with the bias of the government in power at the time.
The bible is no different than any other mythology. A little truth in all of it.

They do not conflict one another. Get the harmony of the gospels and it will put everything you ask for in order. If you want to learn then research it.

If you want to know about geneology then why not ask a Jew? Here is a site where you can get that information.
