clarified question
Apr 17, 2021 at 4:06 comment added Hold To The Rod @Dottard, good thoughts. My (very frank) view on why the herculean efforts have come up short is found at 8:56 here =)
Apr 17, 2021 at 3:44 comment added Dottard @HoldToTheRod - I agree that the two do not conflict. However, the fact that so far herculean efforts have not resolved these to most people's satisfaction, strongly suggests that there is much more involved. Luke freely admitted he used other's sources but "adjusted" them as the Holy Spirit inspired him to.
Apr 17, 2021 at 1:11 comment added Hold To The Rod @Dottard I don't find that source criticism & inspiration are necessarily mutually exclusive.
Apr 17, 2021 at 1:09 comment added Hold To The Rod @NigelJ I personally believe in Matthean priority--my work here--you may particularly like segment 2 on the patristic testimony. I also remain curious about the thoughts of those who hold different views.
Apr 16, 2021 at 9:55 comment added Dottard As this summary shows, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synoptic_Gospels#The_synoptic_problem there has been no viable solution to the "synoptic problem" for 2000 years. However, I believe it simply shows that each was independently inspired by the Holy Spirit.
Apr 16, 2021 at 8:30 comment added Nigel J It is hardly likely that Luke, not a chosen apostle, would presume to be so forward as to break the ground, as it were, before the apostles, themselves, had published. Peter, Matthew and Jude were the first, according to all the circumstancial evidence available. Peter, quite rightly, the absolute first, who was given the keys by Christ himself and who 'unlocked' the Greek scriptures. These things were not doubted until a latter generation of self-appointed 'scholars' appeared on the scene.
