Here's the difference, I did not ever say the Christian Thinktank is an authority only that they gave plausible explanations for the "discrepancies" you seem to believe are in the Bible.

Here's the problem with that statement. They admitted that they didn't have any.

That you do not accept their conclusions, only proves you must have an agenda in holding to your false claim that the Bible has errors.

They don't have conclusions - they have possibilities and speculations. Did you not read my quoting their conclusions? If they cannot explain it and you can find nobody who can, why do you call my posts (not beliefs) false?

You often say that the Church "harmonized" the Scriptures, implying that somebody "monkeyed" with the actual writings.

I never said 'monkey'.

If that was true, then how do YOU explain the different titles above the head of Jesus?

Ladies first.

Why didn't they "correct" the errors? I have no problem with trusting the infallible word of God, nor do I see a need for an infallible teaching authority to convince me of such.

You consist of an individual interpreting Scripture. How do you call four different accounts, all in contradiction of the other infallible? Do you hold four different views of any event in your real life and consider yourself to have infallible interpretation of it?

You have made it quite obvious that you worship the magesterium in your own mirror every time you split off from what they have decided is doctrine of the Catholic faith. You must know very well that they have made declarations of the infallible, God-inspired, error free Holy Scriptures and assert exactly that in the Catechism you "say" you uphold. You apparently are stuck on the problem you think you see in differing accounts of the resurrection morning and, in truth, it is no more mysterious than voicing the viewpoints of the different people who gave their own accounts to the writer. No retelling of a real event is ever in perfect sync between various people and, if they were, it would prove a prior conspiracy between them to all tell the exact same thing. This, by the way, is a good way police investigating a crime can judge the truthfulness of the witnesses. No one person sees everything it exactly the same was as another especially not when they happen upon a scene at different times.

Your own Magesterium holds that the Holy Spirit "breathed" the very words to the hearts of the writers of Scripture, yet you state time after time that you STILL cannot come to terms with what you say are "discrepancies", which is only a slightly nicer way to say errors or contradictions.

On this point I am closer to the doctrine of Scriptural integrity of your Magesterium than you are. How did THAT happen?
