Lightbulb You don't really care about the exact hour.

No, you're not asking "just for your information." Why is the exact hour of the crucifixion so important to you, especially that you would scrutinize these details in this way? Don't you think you're missing the point? ....Or maybe you didn't really do the scrutinizing in the first place......

The only times I've seen people mince the gospels to this level are when anti-Christian critics are specifically looking for ways to detract against the integrity of the accounts, in order to then insert their own theological view as the alternative. They assume that their contradictory interpretation of the gospels is the ONLY interpretation, thereby making it appear that the contents of the gospels are unreliable history.

Ahmadi clearly got this from one of those Muslim anti-Christian propaganda websites / booklets. How do I know? Because they are the only ones who care at exactly which hour Jesus died -- and they only care because they're scouring the gospels in search of contradictions. They in fact have lists with scores of "Bible contradictions." ...What they never look at, however, is the Christian responses, where every single one is shown to be a misreading.
