re: #635 Sharmuta

Lately I’ve been wondering which of the 4 versions of the Passion should I take to be literally true. There’s discrepancies among them. How do literalists reconcile that?

Good grief, now there’s a subject! Suffice it to say they can’t, and remain literalists. According to the Synoptic Gospels, the Passion occurred on a different Day than the story of John relates.

Of course oceans of ink have been spilled trying to reconcile the irreconcilable, but it hasn’t advanced Jesus’ message one bit.
