- 2) I think you exagerate a bit. Yes, the passages are similar but
- I don't think a "diff" of the synoptic gospels will be very kind
- as you seem to imply.
-
- On the contrary, it supports what I say _very_ well --that is the point.
-
- Do this: get your self a good (Greek!) Synopsis of the first three
- Gospels and spend some time comparing them. Then report back to us on
- what you find.
-
- [...] As I said, IMO it is more accurate to think
- of them based off of a common source or working document.
-
- And it is my point that your "opinion" does not coincide at all well
- with the facts.

- Did I ever say they were? Please reread my texts again...
-
- Fair enough. "Random" was probably a bad choice on my part. But it
- seems that the description "independent" is the very core of your argument.
