Regarding all the different New Testament accounts . . . I remind you guys of the points I made about the Amityville Horror, which is a story that spawned over 45 movies, many, many books, a bunch of news interviews.
There were hundreds of mediums, necromancers, Tarot readers, and so forth who claimed supernatural occurrences when they did their divinations.
Lots of writings, supposed eyewitness accounts, etc. should always be suspect.
In fairness, there is independent, very strong historical evidence that Pontious Pilate and Herod both existed.
Also, Caesar is mentioned by name when Christ was teaching, and we know that Caesar existed.
This does not mean that we must accept the rest of the N.T. without skepticism . . . especially because of all the damage done in the name of Christ.
The Amityville Horror is an example of a legend that’s a mix of fact and fiction . . . a mix of the supernatural and human chicanery, and a great exploration of human gullibility.
The Amityville Horror is proof that a bullshit story can take on its own life and grow until everyone believes it, so what of the events in the N.T. that occurred about 2,000 years ago in a time and place where people were often illiterate and had very little in the way of technology?
