What you need to do is sit down with someone who knows the Bible and have them help you. It's not a matter of "interpretation". The original language is Hebrew (Old Testament) and Greek (New Testament). THe truth is revealed through the original language.
I get the impression that you don't want to understand anything. You are looking to bolster your disbelief via me - LOL!
I could sit here and tell you what to believe but with you that will not work. You NEED to start looking at the Hebrew and Greek and start answering some of your own questions.
You mention accounts by 3 different people, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. WHY is it so odd that 3 different people would have slightly different accounts? Yet, you will willingly beleive evolutionary theory when there are more than three diametrically opposed theories without question. These accounts in the Bible complement each other. That's more than I can say about evolutionary theory.
You need to do som soul searching.
Best Regards,
If so, why all the fights and interpretations between the different Christian sects?

Do you really believe I would need to do such a thing? My other question to you is where have I stated what my "beliefs" are? Remember, accepting the evidence for the theory of evolution does not require a "belief". For example; do you "believe" in the element called gadolinium? Or do you know that such an element exists without the need for a belief structure.

Been there done that. Bet I would surprise you with just how much I do know.

Slightly different? Good grief.

Describe those three diametrically opposed theories please.
Best regards back
