Ask a Christian who inspired the authors of the Bible, he or she would immediately say the Holy Ghost. Now ask them how many Holy Ghost are there, again he or she would say one. let’s move on, now ask how many lives did Jesus live on earth, one of several? Without delay he or she would say once. Which means everything mentioned in the Gospels happened within same life time of Jesus right?. Again, he or she would say yes, so what are you trying to get at, what’s your point. This where you tell them, if everything mentioned in the Gospels happened within the same lifetime of Jesus, why then did the Holy Ghost give different accounts of the same event? For example, if we were to use koredes criteria in finding a problem with what was said and when. Then we have a serious problem when it comes to the sayings and even of Jesus as found in the Gospels which were supposed to be revealed or inspired by the Holy Ghost. Let’s see how our Christians friends deal with such problems.
And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? "Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good--except God alone. (Mark 10:17-18)
Just then a man came up to Jesus and asked, "Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?" "Why do you ask me about what is good?" Jesus replied. "There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments." (Matthew 19:16-17)
Did you catch the joke? Using koredes approach to the text, we have a serious problem once we compare both authors narration. Note if the Holy Ghost is inspiring the authors with the same event, why then is there a major change in wordings? In Mark a Jew comes running to Jesus, kneeled to him and asked him, GOOD MASTER WHAT SHALL I DO THAT I MAY INHERIT ETERNAL LIFE? Jesus replied WHY DO YOU CALL ME GOOD?.
This isn’t rocket science or a parable that needs deciphering. A young Jewish lad comes to Jesus call him good, Jesus on the other hand responds to him why do you me good. In other words, letting him know he is not God and only the True God should be followed. Is the same found in the Gospel of Matthew, and the answer is No! Mathew on the other hand seems to have changed the wordings. Here the Jewish lad came up to Jesus and didn’t kneel, and rather than saying Good master he says TEACHER WHAT THING MUST I DO TO GET ETERNAL LIFE? Jesus replied WHY DO YOU ASK ME ABOUT WHAT IS GOOD?
Two Gospels Inspired by one Holy Ghost, has completely different narrations of wordings how come? What did the Jewish lad read say? Did he say GOOD MASTER or TEACHER WHAT GOOD?. Did Jesus reply WHY DO YU CALL ME GOOD or WHY DO YOU ASK ME ABOUT EHAT IS GOOD?. WHICH IS CORRECT?
Did the Holy ghost not know what was said? I’ll add more textual problem later. Lets first get an answer from korede and co. like they say there’s more where they came from lol
