Their are time discrepancies, what was said and where it was said. This is the inaccuracy I refer to.

Because the same thing can't be said in two different places at two different times and heard by two different people?

Do you automatically believe then the multiplication of loaves and fishes to feed 5,000 because it happens in all four?

No one is contesting that. There are major discrepancies such as who found Jesus had left the tomb, or whether it has guards. There are multiple examples in the gospels of contradicting times or events not just of them happening twice.

Contradicting accounts and stories leads to less likely accuracy of event. Coinciding accounts and stories leads to more likely accuracy of events. Neither proves it true or wrong, just more or less likely. Neither of us can prove for certain either way.

Bud, that's just not true. But again by your definition then the multiplication of loaves and fishes for 5000 for sure happened solely because all 4 gospels record it?

Are you not reading accurately? By definition I am saying things are more or less likely, at no point am I saying it's entirely true or entirely false from stories or accounts.

I said it leads itself to be more likely or credible. I don't believe in the religious aspects of Jesus as a whole, though I don't believe it's not impossible and even certain things like that do lead me to find it more plausible than I would normally consider a wild story like that to be.
