Most importantly they are different because they can be. The writers know the audience both present and in the future dont know anything about Jesus so they are free to make stuff up or change what they wish.
i think that in our various discussions about life after the wt, we many times forget about the cornerstone of christian life - the resurrection.
the implications of the existence a man who holds the power of life and death is manifold.
it makes discussions about the existence of god obsolete.. for all of scientists' accomplishments they have never been able to make even one amobea come alive from non-life.

Rose:
How did the gospel writers know what happened at the trial if they werent there ?
How come Lazarus is never mentioned again int he BIble ? Why didnt he become an apostle, why didnt Paul visit him ?
according to al jazeera.
why is this?.
Perry:
More kids bought Harry Potter books in hte past 10 years, than Bibles.
What does that tell you ?
I bet more kids on earth today can tell you all the characters in HP than name the 12 apostles. I bet you less than 10% of JW kids can name the 12 apostles. I bet you cant name the 12 apostles, without cheating.
according to al jazeera.
why is this?.
Perry"
Agreed. But, I wasn't talking about Catholics or Protestants, or evangelicals...just simple people who heard about Jesus and believed on him.
MP:
if so many epople followed and believed in jesus, why is it nobody knows when he was born and we arent even sure how many years he preached ?
WHy did it take 40+years for someone to write the earliest gospels ? Why the delay ?
Perry:
Millions of these kinds of Christians have always existed over the last two millenia.
mP:
YOu do realise that most xians in history only becamse xian under pain of death ? Read up how Jesus came to the Americas, or Sweden, Norway, Lithuania, Africa, Asia . If you dont become a xian and our slaves we will kill you.
according to al jazeera.
why is this?.
Perry:
Why do you read and believe a book prepared by the Catholic Church ?
so i was watching this on netflix today and had only really heard about the comparisons between jc and horus in religulous.
it amazed me how incredibly credulous i was as a witness- i would never have watched a video so full of "lies" had i still been in.. or maybe i'm willing to believe anything now..... for those that have seen it- how convinced were you with the comparisons between jesus and the zodiac?.
Sammy:
So why did the xians take a pagan festival so easily ? Shouldnt they have rebelled against it ? Why are all the jewish festivals basically at the same key moements in the calendar like hte pagans ?

Zeitgeist SHOULD serve as a warning to all persons who THINK of themselves as rational and logical that the messages we MOST should scrutinize are the ones we most WANT to be true. Your wants and wishes have NOTHING to do with whether something is TRUE or not, eg I want to win the lottery, but random chance doesn't care what we WANT.
mP:
The jewish religion is nothing but astrotheology like all other religions. Josephus tells us that the twelve tribes are the same as the Greek Zodiac. He also tells us there was a zodiac in the temple in Jerusalem. This same temple is built to point to the east like all other sun worshipping temples, and is filled with creatures that are copies of other pagan creatures. I could go on if you really want.
Why dont you believe Josephus ?

Phizzy:
Its amazing just how few so called witness tehre are for the resurrection.
Theres no resurrection in Mark. Given that Mat and Lk copied Mark one has to wonder why Mk originally had no resurrection. How could he forget to include that in his account ?
Anyway lets assume all accounts are true, why should we believe basically the writings of 2 men. Do we believe that Mohammad flew on a unicorn to jerusalem from arabia because some other men wrote it down, because thats what the koran says ?
17: 1 Glorified be He Who carried His servant by night from the Inviolable Place of Worship to the Far distant place of worship the neighbourhood whereof We have blessed , that We might show him of Our tokens! Lo! He, only He, is the Hearer, the Seer.
i'm still determined not to vote - just to write something unpleasant about pollies on the ballot paper.
if i lived in victoria, i just may, as an act of sheer bastardry, vote for julian assange (of wikileaks fame), but i don't live in vic, so i cant.. my objection to voting is that the political choice offers two self-perpetuating oligarchies (who are something like the governing body).
they make up a slate of candidates and election advertising consists of attempting to persuade swinging voters to vote for their slate of candidates.. anyway, i noted that k.rudd has made a video in chinese, aimed apparently at mainland china.

Are you on welfare, do you recieve money from the gov in some form ?
