Do lots of people lying together make something true?
It could be a conspiracy to make it look like Luther existed so the Catholic church would have someone to blame it on when it started coming apart at the seams. You know, like how the NY was written?
First I never said anyone deliberately lied. People write what they believe and if their beliefs are false, it is not a deliberate lie.
Second, what is "lots" of people? Eight or nine?
Third, in the NT case, they are all from the same community, the same religious party. You think the records of MSNBC can be trusted to tell the truth without comparing them to what Fox News has to say for at least some degree of balance? I don't think so. And in the New Testament case, there is no other source to compare it to, so it's a biased account, by all standards because it represents a one-sided view.
As for cooridnating their sotries, yes there was that too. Look at the so-called Synoptic Gospels, where not only verses but whole paragraphs are copied verbatim, especially in Mark's and Matthews' versions, and also between Matthews's and Luke's. The PC term for that is "harmonziing."
But when you have sources from opposing communities writing about the same event or the same person, there's a pretty good chance they didn't sit down to coordinate what they will say.
It's difficult to believe you don't that. So, why are you twisting and spinning?
