Bible Note: Greetings Roddy! More excellent comments my friend! :-) So many of the so called problems in Scripture could be resolved by simply using a little common sense. For instance, narratives are by their very narrative selective. No narrative could possibly provide every possible detail of an event covering hours. So, authors must 'edit' their material. For instance, I could write the following: "I woke up last night and went to work. After more than nine hours, I returned home." This is a factual statement, but it is not a very detailed statement. Suppose I were to later say that, while driving home, I stopped at the gas station. Does this make my first statement false? No! As you have correctly pointed out, many of the narratives in Scripture vary in detail, but do not contradict one another. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
