[FONT=TimesNewRoman,Bold]Features of the Stone Covering Jesus’ Tomb[/FONT]
The stone isn't even rolled away in several versions of the story. The 4 gospels get SO MANY details wrong regarding the "empty tomb". I challenge you to read them horizontally (first read the account of a particular event in Mark, then skip to the same event in Luke, Matthew, John, etc). In regards to the empty tomb, ask yourself..
Who made it to the tomb first? It depends which gospel you read.
Did Mary go by herself, or with other people? It depends which gospel you read.
How many people were there altogether? 2? 3? 4? 5? It depends which gospel you read.
Where was the stone? Was it in place or was it already rolled away? It depends which gospel you read.
Who was waiting for them at the tomb? One man? Two men? Or one angel descended from heaven?? It depends which gospel you read.
What are they told?..to meet Jesus in Galilee or that they should stay and meet him in Jerusalem? It depends which gospel you read.
Do they tell the disciples, or do they run away and say nothing because they were afraid? It depends which gospel you read.
If they told the disciples, what do the disciples do..go to Galilee or stay in Jerusalem? It depends which gospel you read.
The answers to the above questions are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT depending on which account you happen to be reading. Remember, this is supposedly the MOST IMPORTANT STORY in the MOST IMPORTANT BOOK in the history of the universe. These words were inspired by the creator of the universe, yet the stories are in fundamental conflict with each other in many ways. God couldn't even get the story of his son's death straight..the most important event in human history according to Christianity, so why the hell should we believe any of the other magical bullshit in your favorite book?
