BELIEVER: studies the scriptures and understands that the gospels are not identical but researches the supposed conflicts
TALISHI: Atheist, wants to discredit the Bible and hopes to unseat the belief of Christians here with her sarcastic threads and supposed wit. Does not want to actually discuss faith because she has none
yet, God says if your hear his voice, do not harden your heart
the book of Revelation describes a scene wherein people KNOW God exists yet they still choose to hate Him
so, again, if you hear His voice, do not harden your heart
this is no joke...literally life or death

let's get it out there
the following is from a blog post on this site by the op
1. The Bible is the inerrant Word of God
2. The Old Testament doesn’t apply anymore, except for some parts like the ones condemning homosexuals or calling for a death penalty.
3. Only the New Testament applies, except for the parts we ignore, like when Jesus forbids remarriage, because Brother Rush and Brother Newt with their third wives are godly men. Also the part when Jesus said set aside all your possessions before following him is communistic. We’ll determine which ones don’t apply anymore and get back to you.
4. Some parts of the Bible are to interpreted literally, like when the Earth was created in six days, or all human beings are traced back to just two individuals, and other parts are metaphor, like when the Bible says the heaven is a solid dome over the Earth. You just shut up and tithe, we’ll decide.
5. When parts of the Bible contradict science, or other parts of the Bible, or would be illegal to carry out like killing witches, they are definitely a metaphor for something. We’ll get back to you on those.
6. The entire Bible is divinely inspired by God, however. That’s the important thing to take away.
read that...understand why she writes as she does
do I oppose atheists' on this site? or people who are searching? no
however, this op is attempting a systematic rebuttal of the Bible for personal reasons
have any of you ever been to an Atheist site or an ex-Christian site?
you have no idea of the scorn for believers that goes on there if you haven't
well, what else could you expect someone might say...and that's right...that's so
but consider the spirit behind this type of posting

For to us {Christians} God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God,
which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.
But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.
But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no one.
For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, THAT HE WILL INSTRUCT HIM? But we have the mind of Christ. (1 Cor 2:10-16)
Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!
For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, OR WHO BECAME HIS COUNSELOR?
Or WHO HAS FIRST GIVEN TO HIM THAT IT MIGHT BE PAID BACK TO HIM AGAIN?
For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen. (Rom 11:33-36)
repent and believe the Gospel, Ruby, if peradventure God will grant it.

Talishi I encourage you to read the whole first chapter of Acts. It shows in verses one thru three that Jesus was here forty days after his resurrection and then taken back up. That is plenty of time to do all four events recorded in the Gospels. I hope this gives you faith in Lord Jesus and see His word is true.
Acts 1:1-3 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen: To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
