Is there any official explanation that Christians have for this? Or, do they just write it off as one of the "patented replies" people use when they don't understand how someone can be told two (or three...) contradictory things and believe that both are literally true?

 

I'm honestly curious to hear from the devout how they resolve this conflict. It seems clear to me that the three accounts in the four Gospels cannot all be true, so I'd like to know what kind of thinking goes into accepting that the works are literal and infallible.

 

If anyone can enlighten me, I'd be pleased to listen.

With regard to the Gospels, I've been in meetings where five people heard six different things.  This is only a problem if you believe the Bible is to be taken as literal.  99% of all Christians are looking for the important messages in the Bible.  The fundamentalist wackos who believe the Bible should be taken literally tend to miss the point entirely.  Instead of a spiritual blueprint, they see a blueprint for everything, including the fact that the sun and the universe revolve around the earth, that the universe is only 6k years old, and that man was made out of dirt by magic.  Don't let the radicals and their distortions divert your attention.
