It is encouraging to me because sometimes our faith is shaky and we doubt God but really HE has given us plenty of evidence to believe in Him and we have proof of His birth, death and resurrection. on page 147 it talks about the early christians who had to “live between the times”. i think it is interesting to think about the christians who had to live before the birth of Christ. they heard of a coming savior but yet they didn’t see it in their time. they had to have so much faith!

I know that most of the things that don't match up are tiny things that don't really matter, but I still don't understand why they wouldn't be the same if the bible is inspired by the Lord. i don’t understand how we are supposed to accept the entire Bible as being true and reliable if somethings in the Gospels aren’t the same.

Isn't it just something to know, that doesn't have anything to do with culture? Just like "salvation" is a term and we don't need to translate it into culture.

Also, on page 132, I got a little confused about what was handed down orally and what was written from a firsthand account. All the gospels were written by people with firsthand accounts, right? And the reason they were written down was like what we did for our study guide, so the news about Jesus could be spread farther?
