No evangelist describes the resurrection -

no one present - like The Creation - Job 38:4-7

individuals, to two, to eleven, to above 500 at once!

"Cold discrepancy mongers, do you not see

that the evangelists do not count the angels? There were

not only two angels, there were millions. They appeared

not always one & the same, not always the same two,

sometimes this one appeared, sometimes that; sometimes

on this place, sometimes that; sometimes alone, sometimes

in company; sometimes they said this, sometimes that!

v. 5 - Too good to be true? Paul to Agrippa - "Why

eternal life.
