Except for the fact the entire Bible meshes together to become the greatest story ever told. Its all true and the Books themselves are deeper then any rabbit hole with more truth and mystery then 10 million scribes with unlimited imaginations could ever hope to write.

Our lord Jesus Christ did not give us books filled with lies and errors. He gave us his word which is he himself.
I am sorry that you do not see or hear the Word but I pray that you do someday soon

That’s because the Gospels were specifically written with an awareness of the prophecies, in order to make them conform to those prophecies. They were put together by human writers who were propagandizing on behalf of the new religion.

The Gospels and the rest of the Bible are specifically intended to influence people, and to do so, they made the story consistent.

Scribes making deliberate changes (not scribal errors, the equivalent of transcribing a small h as a small n) would deliberately make the story consistent. That is why scholars believe that those elements that are the most different are probably close to the originals.

That's suspect. You don't think the writers (whoever they were) knew of the prophecies and framed the story accordingly?
