Answering the Easter Challenge

Verse five of Proverbs 26 says, "Answer a fool according to his folly, Lest he be wise in his own eyes."
IF we fail to challenge a fool who attacks the very truth that God has given, we allow them to appear wise and also risk having them appear wise to our children & grand children
 When someone says that the Bible is wrong, that is when we answer the fool giving a reason for the faith within!
I have produced a chart with the parallel accounts of the resurrection from all four Gospels and included a summary of the events that proposes how all of the various details can be reconciled.
 Some may ask why have I gone to all this trouble?
Two reasons:
 It helps us see again the richness of having four witnesses we have in the Gospel accounts
 It also answers one of the great challenges that has been leveled against the faith:
The charge that the various accounts of the resurrection cannot be reconciled with each other… Many claim these accounts are full of contradictions! For example, Dan Barker issues the "Easter challenge" asking Christians to "tell me exactly what happened on the day that their most important doctrine was born." Mr. Barker, interestingly, says we should be eager to take up the challenge because 'without the resurrection, there is no Christianity.'
On that point he and the Apostle Paul are in complete agreement!
