Doing Romans 10:9a & 10:10b, due to believing 1 Corinthians 15:1-8, results in Romans 10:9b & 10:10a. …or is that not what you meant by “gospel”…..
…………….. No wonder there’s confusion about the most basic part of Christianity. Now, concerning Matthew, Mark, Luke and John: There’s no problem. There aren’t any differences that make out anyone to be a liar… and that’s the whole point about that. The Bible has several seeming contradictions, but when you read more closely and take it more at face value, then the problems disappear. You see, the Bible is very densely written in the modern ear. It says what it actually means, and not what we take it for. No one is lying in it. If you found a record of someone’s lie, my previous statement would still be true.. We have to understand *it* and not be so arrogantly and nievely petulant in our demands for exactitudinous super-logical philosophizings of the type which are actually widely off the mark, yo! -
By realising that the early church saw these texts as inspired, not inerrant – it’s okay to have the occasional error here and there. It’s really not as big a deal as most Christians say it is. Matthew totally misquoted Zechariah *twice* – he wasn’t perfect. That’s okay!
It’s a Holy Book, not a Magic Book.
