Sure you could reconcile them but it does take some major swings and roundabouts with people visiting, revisiting and being met by different groups of men and angels each time all the while with the authors choosing to document completely different things!<br /><br />I find it far more likely that upon seeing the ending of Mark at 16:8 (forgetting the later verse additions), the authors of Luke and Matthew decided to flesh out the tale a bit and the conflicting accounts are what emerged. There are other issues as well, such as where Jesus agreed to meet the Disciples.<br /><br />One question to ask - if you were an all powerful being, why would you - as your sole tangible communication to your creations - provide a text that could only be understood through logical and linguistic gymnastics?<br /><br />This is all academic however - there is still no evidence outside the bible to support what is written about the resurrection.JCDClarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01427655725499458583noreply@blogger.com
