In 3 out of 4 Gospels, Jesus is alive during Passover (in fact, the Last Supper is a Passover meal). In John, Jesus is dead before Passover starts.

Re-read Apostle's original post. The premises aren't about what a random group of people would consistently report, they're about what the inerrant word of God would report. The fact that the Gospels are attributed to different writers is irrelevant if you assume, as a premise, that all the Gospels are the inerrant word of God.
You have an interesting discussion in mind, but it isn't the discussion Apostle started.

If you're allowed to make up stuff, then, yes most Biblical difficulties can be circumvented. But is there a shred of evidence that two different passovers were ever celebrated?

Re: Different Ressurection Accounts
So, whenever any number is mentioned in the Bible, we are to understand that we should always put "or more" after the number? And this is a satisfactory reconciliation for you?

Re: Copying Errors Does Not Deny Biblical Inerrency
quote:
"Thankfully we can cross reference and see where these copying errors are. The original texts did not have these errors and so the claim stands."
Perhaps I missed it, but I don't think you've established this at all, I believe you've only asserted it. How do we know the original text does not have these errors?

Re: Copying Errors Does Not Deny Biblical Inerrency
I'm sorry, but I've read and re-read CA's post, and I can't for the life of me figure out what you mean by "criticisms against my character".

Well, as far as I can tell, you haven't showed that you know the original texts were correct. We have different books with different figures. I don't mind assuming one is right, but it sure seems like we can't assume both are right in the original texts - how do we know that the two books haven't disagreed from the start? Maybe I'm not getting something.
