ya, seems like a misstatement in the pdf, obv Matt 10:10 says "take no extras," not "take none at all."One example In the attachment it says:
imo it would be interesting to take them one at a time i guess.They are not really riddles.
Mark 4
well then one unsettling conclusion to that is that if you cannot resolve the riddles, you are outside, i guessMark 4
"And He said to them, “To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables, 12 so that
‘Seeing they may see and not perceive,
And hearing they may hear and not understand;
Lest they should turn,
And their sins be forgiven them.’”
...In the world..."all things come in parables." All things.
Fortunately, there is a Way.well then one unsettling conclusion to that is that if you cannot resolve the riddles, you are outside, i guess
ok, thenFortunately, there is a Way.
What contradictions? If there are any, it is only in the telling of it, the making of four parables, but still having one object and one subject that agree one with the others.ok, then
"What is meant by the contradictions in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John concerning Yahshua casting out the moneychangers?"
The better question would be: What is the parable?ok, then
"What is meant by the contradictions in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John concerning Yahshua casting out the moneychangers?"
"In Matthew, Yahshua rode into Jerusalem on a donkey and a colt, entered into the temple, and cast out the moneychangers, all in one day (Matthew 21:1-17). In Mark, Yahshua rode into Jerusalem on a colt, entered into the temple and looked around, departed to Bethany to spend the night, returned to Jerusalem the following day, and then cast out the moneychangers (Mark 11:1- 18). In Luke Yahshua, once again in agreement with the Matthew account, rode into Jerusalem on a colt, entered the temple, and cast out the moneychangers (Luke 19:28-46). Finally, in John we find an account entirely different from the other three gospels. After performing His first miracle of turning water into wine, Yahshua next went into the temple and cast out the moneychangers! Ten chapters later, Yahshua rode into Jerusalem on a young donkey, and there is absolutely no mention of a temple cleansing (John 2:1-17 and 12:12-19). So what is the riddle that Yahweh has propounded to us in these divine contradictions?" ibidWhat contradictions? If there are any
There are no contradictions in parables (riddles), only an object and a subject. The rest is just the telling thereof, not wheat, but chaff.maybe we could save the subject change for later?

no one said there was; the point is that there are lessons in figuring them outThere are no contradictions in parables (riddles)
"Let us look at another account which is a little longer to review. All the events cited here took place immediately following Yahshua's feeding of the 5,000. We will not look at the similarities in these different gospel accounts, but rather note the differences. In Matthew the disciples were sent out onto the sea where Peter walked on water, and was saved by Yahshua. The disciples in the boat then worshipped Yahshua, saying, "You are certainly God's Son" (Matthew 14:13-36).
In Mark, we find that Yahshua "intended to pass by them" and not get into the boat; and instead of worshipping Him, to the contrary "their heart was hardened" (Mark 6:30-56). Thus once again the Mark account has an entirely, shockingly different meaning! And if these differences are not already striking enough, look at the Luke account. The disciples were never sent out onto the sea (in fact the word "sea" never appears in Luke), but instead they went to join Yahshua where He was alone! (This is an amazing contradiction, having substantial meaning!)
There He taught them the cost of following Him and promised that some of those standing there "would not taste death" until they saw the "kingdom of God" (Luke 9:12-27). In John, Yahshua withdrew to the mountain, perceiving that the multitudes were intending to "take Him by force" and make Him king. Yahshua entered the boat with the disciples and "immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going" (John 6:1-21).
So once again, what is the riddle Yahweh is presenting us in these striking contradictions? What is the meaning of the contradictions in the accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John regarding the boat journey (or the absence thereof) following the feeding of the 5,000?" ibid
good stuffjust an opinion
