HOW MANY ANGELS WERE AT THE TOMB?
Compare Matt 28:1-7 and Mark 16:5-7 with Luke 24:2-8
 
Read the accounts carefully. Could an angel have sat down? Are these accounts the same persons at the same time? 
 
ONE SEATED on the stone appeared to the keepers before the 2 Marys arrived
"In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is arisen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word." (Matt 28:2-8)
 
ONE SITTING inside seen by the 2 Marys
"And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is arisen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him. But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you." (Mark 16:5-7)
 
Two standing appeared to those who entered before the 2 marys who "followed after" Lu 23:55
"And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is arisen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. And they remembered his words," (Luke 24:2-8)
 
Ebrard, with other critics, has made it clear that these passages relate to different persons and times ... One angel appeared at one time, two at another time. The position assumed, also, may have varied at different times.

Sorry Judy but, unless you're privy to information that no one else 'nose', it was written by men.
 
Only humanity did not write it - Holy men wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit, the Bible
is a supernatural book - it is only foolishness to the natural mind which does not understand the things of the
Spirit of God because they are spiritually discerned.  jt

The Bible is indeed reflective of the humanity that wrote it.

If you still doubt the apostasy (some would call it the dark ages), you need look no further than the Bible itself – for it has suffered from it.
