DoctorAlien: My brother some mothers do have them. The mixture of ignorance and dishonesty is a deadly one and they wield that axe so well Leave them to debate among themselves. No matter what you say they will never admit to anything. The only way i was able to get PastorAIO to admit his own yesterday was when he set a trap for me but found himself falling into the same trap he set while i stood outside the trap telling him ntoor..... That was when he was able to finally admit OK THANK YOU! But even at that he now switched the argument to something else altogether. That was also trashed. A thread that i was able to close twice when i slammed his arguments using scripture but arrogance would never let him quit. Goalpost shifting and strawmen was in full effect last night. Let these ones be. All of dem na same of same. |

DoctorAlien:I don't think you are reading any of your critics properly. Let us even grant that in Matthew's mind there were more women; that he just didn't mention them at the beginning of his narration. Then how else is his readers supposed to know that Mary Magdalene is not amongst the women that "... departed... with great... joy" when he makes no reference whatsoever to any other women? What you fail to see is that Mary here, contradicts with John's version and there is no way a reader of Matthew alone will know that Mary was not amongst the women that left with joy. 2 Likes |

alchemist13: Anybody that reads Matthew alone has no contradiction to point out. Contradictions are only pointed out when two or more accounts exist. Thank GOD we have the four accounts. And since we know, through the four accounts, that the two Mary's weren't the only ones that went, we can conclude that all the "they" which Matthew used in Matt. 28:1-9 applied not only to the two Marys. Thank you. 1 Like |

DoctorAlien: Lol. There's a sharp contrast between both colours and they are easily noticeable by the human eyes, ergo, your definition from wikipedia, I suppose, makes it inconclusive. The Evangelist were undecided about the true colour but agreed that the robe had an element of red?! Were they writing on their own accord? 1 Like |

DoctorAlien: What you fail, understandably, to admit, is that both Matthew and John explicitly mentioned Mary Magdalene; but in completely incongruent contexts! In Matthew's account, Mary Mag and the other Mary left with Joy (knowing what had happened), In John, Mary Mag came back crying and confused as to the whereabouts of Jesus' body. If this isn't a clear cut contradiction of two accounts, then we might as well believe that the earth is spherically flat. 4 Likes 1 Share |

4everGod:When someone asked a question about Saul's daughter and the state of her barreness, an answer was given and it was logically conclusive to everyone. The only reason a logical conclusion cannot be reached here is because there is a contradiction; attempting to change meaning of the word to suit your ends is disingenous at best and dishonest/pathetic at worst. This is English language, if it's non-contradictory, it would be obvious to everyone, unless those that have put blinders on. 2 Likes |

DoctorAlien: When a story mentions the names of two women, and shortly after, says "the women" nobody is in any doubt as to the identity of "the women" being referred to. So, by all means, fabricate and obfuscate all you want, but Matthew is there for the discerning mind to read! Fabricate, obfuscate, then accuse others of being dishonest. 4 Likes 1 Share |

DoctorAlien: Wow wow wow! I mean where do I even begin. No one said a Matthew-alone reader will point out contradictions. But Matthew will be mischievously putting a huge strain on his readers' comprehension skills. I mean if you ask an hypothetical Matthew-alone reader if Mary Magdalene left the tomb with joy, what do you think his answer will be? By the way Matthew-alone readers is not that hypothetical considering that John was written decades after Matthew and Matthew seemed to target a Jewish audience unlike, at least, Luke. Then there are likely those who would have read Matthew alone. Finally, you seem to think that the Gospels fit each other like jigsaws, like lovers finishing each other's sentences. Well, that is both naive and wrong. Each document were created to be self consistent (whether they achieved this is another story) and were atimes created to subvert another. |

Ranchhoddas: I suppose you have been blind to the antics of atheists here on NL and how they exhaust all the fallacies known to man in order to continue an argument. With all the english language that has been applied in a simple explanatory manner and then the very next comment would be "I think you are confused" or "rubbish" or "Why are you dodging the question" or "You must think we are foolish if you feel this is how it happened" etc Rancho i know you have a new year resolution which you are beginning to act out. Enjoy it but as far as i know only an honest soul can admit to error or ignorance in a debate but a dishonest one will simply call you dishonest even when they are the dishonest one. NL holds no value to serious minded people who see beyond its farcade. A place where i can hide and be telling someone else to leave his trust and confidence and join me when even my family do not know my real identity as an atheist. A place where anyone can open their mouths and insult people who they are yet to sniff the intellectual air those people have sniffed. A place where we have more pretenders than realists. A place where lies flow like water which has broken free from its dam and everyone is invited to come and swim in the same river of lies. A place where people call my belief imaginary yet they write epistles against my "imaginary" belief and call my God all sorts of terrible things but still insist He is "imaginary". Then indeed i wonder what serious minded person would take it seriously. |

This is what you said: alchemist13: A hypothetical Matthew-alone reader who is rational will go like this: "Other women may have accompanied the two Marys to the sepulchre, since Matthew didn't say that only the two Marys went there. Therefore, I can't really say who left and who did not leave, since the passage didn't say 'the two Marys left with great joy.'" 1 Like |

DoctorAlien: In addition, for this part of Matthew to even harmonize with John, Mary couldn't have been amongst the "they" as she would have to have fled the tomb upon realizing the stone had been moved. I and AgentOfAllah actually don't have much of a problem with other women in Matthew however inconsistent it may be. It is you that has to show that Mary was not part of the "they" that left with joy since in John the same Mary apparently fled without much joy. 2 Likes |
