Sunday night gave us an interesting topic of discussion "Does the Bible contradict itself?" The evening started off with discussing a story of a high school girl asking another girl why she didn't believe in God. This led to the girl searching through the Bible looking for contradictions in some of the Bible stories. She landed on the resurrection story in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Each version is different from the other in the details of who and what exactly happened. Here is a quick overview:
| Women who came to the tomb... The tomb's entrance stone... Angelic appearance... The women felt... | Matthew Mary Magdalene and the other Mary Angel appeared and rolled it away Dressed in white - like lightening Afraid but with great joy | Mark Mary Magdalene and the other Mary Stone already had been moved Young man dressed in white Astonished and afraid; run away | Luke Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, & Joanna Stone already had been moved Two men like "lightning" Frightened | John Only Mary Magdalene Stone already had been moved Two angels in white Mary doesn't seem afraid |
