If you read, the first 3 examples I showed all had Mary Magdalene in them. In one, the stone was already rolled away. In another, they saw an angel descend after a huge earthquake and watched him roll the stone away. Which did Mary Mags see?

Because it testifies to the Divine Christ,

When several professed witnesses to an event all give the same testimony in the same terms, this suggests collaboration is involved. But when several witnesses give different but reconcilable testimony leading to the same conclusion, this constitutes the strongest case for that conclusion. We believe the witnesses to the resurrection gave independent yet reconcilable testimony to that great event. This in conjunction with the testimony of prophecy and personal experience give what we believe to be a convincing case that Jesus was resurrected from the dead.
I'm sorry, I didn't see where you answered this. Which one did you say Mary Mags saw? Did she see the stone being rolled away by an angel, or was it already rolled away when she got there?

I've answered this already and I'm not going to do your reading for you.
if you want to seek Him, you will,
I'm done here for a little while.
Hey, I'm open to that. If he reveals himself to me, that'd be awesome. Hopefully he's not the ass that the bible makes him out to be...

Never say never,
you're still breathing for a purpose,
how do you know two years from now you will not be a zealous believer in God?
Just pray and seek and look and keep your heart and mind open,
and don't give up hope,
God wants noone to perish
Good move, that was kind of mean.

You agree with me then that man is fallible, right? Do you also agree with me that their are no original writings (because there aren't)? Do you also agree that if your god is real, he has allowed many verses and books to be added, removed, edited, etc. all throughout time (because he has if he is real)? If has allowed these things, how do you know stories haven't been embellished since the beginning?

Reworded for accuracy "hopefully hes not the ass that my personal (false, deceptive) interpretation of the bible leads me to falsely believe is truth"
You are really going to pray for him until you die? What are you going to pray about exactly?

Amen
Actually, there are no original writings. What we have are copies of copies of copies. None of them are the original writings from the original authors' own hands.

No, I do not agree on any of that.
There are TONS of original writings,
and they are all in agreement with eachother.
Look into Biblical authenticity
