🤔Question of the day: When Mike explained compositional devices in the Gospels, which one did you find most helpful? Why? Let me know in the comments. ⬇ ⬇ ⬇
I hear that a lot from atheists about contradictions.I tell them there is a wide variety of evidence to confirm the Bible if you apply yourself.They give a bogus answer about reading the Bible but I know they haven't done their due diligence.This interview with Mike helps a lot.
To expect 3 or 4 people who talk about the most important set of events in history, to tell simple actual facts - the truth in fact - is not snobbery at all. It is not forcing 21st century methods on a 1st century culture. Utter nonsense.
Even the most critical of scholars from the 19th century didn't say that the Gospels were devoid or "simple actual facts." Of course the Gospels "tell simple actual facts" like the crucifixion of Jesus. But understanding ancient literary conventions can be helpful as the Gospel writers seem to also utilize the literary devices of their contemporaries in places. This shows that difference doesn't always have to mean contradiction.
