Priorities

I watched a video on youtube yesterday of a debate on the accuracy of the gospels between Prof. Bart Ehrman and Dr. Craig Evans. The jist of the debate was the numerous inaccuracies that occurred in the gospels. I completely agree that there are indeed numerous inaccuracies, BUT and this is a big BUT, to paraphrase a well known British comedy team. Surely the MESSAGE that Jesus brought to us remains EXACTLY the same despite the differences between the gospels.
I sometimes think that it is the differences in the gospels that make them so interesting to read, and I include the non-canonical books as well. It is the diversity of the christian writings that make it such an absorbing religion.
I write this as a sort of prodigal son returning to his home, although I have not yet managed to choose what branch of the christian tree I will return to. I may never decide and just be a solitary practitioner. Only time will tell.
