thekak,
would you feel the bible to be more legitimate if there weren't 3 synoptic gospels that pulled from a similar (if not a single) source? i have a feeling we'd be debating that the gospels could never be true because they don't bear a resemblance to one another.
i love how people (not necessarily singling you out thekak though i am referencing your post) screams "CONTEXT, WE MUST HAVE CONTEXT!" when interpreting the meaning and significance of scripture (a principle i strongly agree with by the way), yet base refutations on 3 scattered verses.
