The titanic has no bearing on our lives. As for the gospels
being the same, i would think that an infanticide of that magnitude
would have been important enough to at least mention? Somehow
history and 3 gospels forgot about it. Lastly about the scholars
picking verses, if the church did not create an entire feast day,
thousands of sermons and even name schools after it, maybe the
people wouldn't concentrate on it as much.
The Titanic is an analogy to explain that age and knowledge
makes a difference in an eyewitness account of an event . A witness
with an engineering knowledge can describe the event in a more
detailed manner than a youth.
Matthew could had been older than Jesus and therefore had
witnessed the killing of infants and children. Maybe, for factors
known only to the authors of the other books, they had decided
which similar events to be included or omitted from their
books.
The gospels were not written for today's critics.
The christians can treat the gospels as four volumes of a book
and are to read all of them for a full story.
