>>You throw out all of what Matthew, Mark, Luke and John wrote except when quoting Jesus.<<

Here’s my quote: “Only the apostles were in a position to be promised that they would “remember” what they heard and saw. No other people on earth could have been given that promise. If we don’t have it recorded in writing from them it can not be relied on.”

Did the apostles write Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John? If so then didn’t I say I would rely on what they wrote? Why would you then attempt to twist my words by saying I would “throw out all of what Matthew, Mark, Luke and John wrote except when quoting Jesus”? Did they not write other things besides what Jesus said?

Please don’t attempt to twist my words to mean something you would like. And don’t attempt to tell me “what I do”.

That wasn’t the discussion I was referring to.

You throw them out when they say Mary is the mother of Jesus.

Yeah two problems with this thought:

1) Luke was not an Apostle, for that matter niether was Matthew.

2) Luke 2:19And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart.

So half of the Gospels were not written by Apostles and one of the accounts was based on the reflections of a woman you juast shrug off.
