Barker's Easter Challenge... anyone seen this rebuttal?
http://jcsm.org/biblelessons/Barker17.htm
No time right now to pick it apart. Anyone else seen it? by the same fellow that claimed to correct the skeptic's annotated bible. |

Yes, this is Jason Gastrich's attempt. The biggest and most obvious problem (despite whatever exegtical approaches he used) is the conflict between event #9 and #13. Why does Mary cry over the missing body at #13 if she's already met the risen Jesus at #9?
I wasn't able to do much better than Jason, though. I tried harmonizing the accounts, and I still was forced to have Mary crying after seeing Jesus. You can see my harmonization here. |

I notice he (Gastrich) omits Mark 16:3:
3 and they asked each other, "Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?" This is should be part of #4, which takes place AFTER Mary M had seen the stone rolled away in #3. So why were they asking this if Mary M had already SEEN the stone rolled away and has told Peter about it? |
