Different emphases are not contradictions. There is no problem with an inerrant Bible including variations in the details of events. All of them are true, they just occurred at different times and the different reporters remembered different aspects of them.
Have you thought about a career in law or politics?

I refer to an objective reality,
If that was actually true, we'd all believe the same thing wouldn't we? You'd be able to say - 'here it is, see, I told you'. Just like you you can say 'here's my chair, I told you I had one, now do you believe me?' That's what the words 'objective' and 'reality' mean.
Long past time I realized the hatred of God here is so dug in there's just no point in continuing to try to get across the truth.
No-one here hates God. You can't hate someting that doesn't exist. What we hate is your idea of what you think your god is. And more importantly we hate what often happens when people believe in such dangerous fantasies.

Oh you'll rant and deny it of course, but on what grounds? Nothing but YOUR subjective need to disbelieve what I'm saying.
The existence or otherwise of your chair can be objectively proven, it is real. I do not have to believe you. The existence of your god can not be objectively proven; it's a subjective judgement whether I believe you or not.
By using the word 'belief', you prove that what you are talking about is both subjective and unreal.
It's been fascinating watching you try to make opposite words mean the same; objective=subjective and real=unreal. But I'm done with this sillyness now.
