Another lie from "God's ineffable, inerrant word":
This lie occurs in regards to the calling of the apostles Andrew and Peter into Jesus' discipleship.
Matthew 4:18- 20 recounts their calling this way: "And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him."
Mark 1:16- 20 records the event exactly as Matthew 4; while Luke 5:1- 11 records the event similarly only inasmuch as Luke says it occurred near water, ships, and nets: though all other particulars-- including the name by which the body of water where it occurred is referred to; what the brothers were doing with the nets; and the roll the ships played-- are completely otherwise: according to Luke.
John (the Divine; not the Baptist) on the other hand, records the event thusly: "Again the next day after John [the Baptist] stood, and two of his disciples; And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God! And the two disciples [of John Baptist] heard him speak, and they followed Jesus... One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ [John 1:35- 37, 40, & 41]."
Clearly, at least one of these gospels is lying, if they all aren't.
