I'd be interested to hear how these two accounts can be reasonably

Come on, give people a break. People who are abducted by aliens at the same time often have stories that don't match exactly and we don't doubt them.

Nemesio ranting against Pcaspian: "You are the one with pre-conceived views about God, not I."

Well Kirk ? Did you ever have the guts to preach about this parable and tell your people that they and we all
are the Pharisee and we all need forgiveness from our Heavenly Father ?
How do literalists harmonize the disparate accounts at the tomb?
For example, in St Matthew's account (28:1-10):
1) Mary Magdalene and 'the other Mary' go to the tomb;
2) An earthquake happens and an angel pushes the stone away;
3) The angel sits upon the stone with a glowing appearance;
4) The guards are scared stiff;
5) The angel explains precisely what happened;
6) The women run to tell the disciples;
7) Before they do, they encounter the Risen Christ, who tells them to
meet Him at Galilee.
In the St John account (20:1-18):
1) Mary Magdalene comes alone;
2) She observes the stone rolled away;
3) She runs back and specifically explains that she doesn't know
where Jesus is;
4) St Peter and the beloved disciple run back and inspect the tomb;
5) They leave, unsure but believing;
6) Mary hangs out, encounters two angels and then immediately
(without travelling) the Risen Christ.
7) She then goes and tells the Disciples about her encounter.
I'd be interested to hear how these two accounts can be reasonably
reconciled.
