Most of them can be thrown out. Many of them are the same questions that have been debated down through the century. There is nothing new under the sun.

If all the accounts had been similar, that would have been fine.
But when you get accounts that say:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Was the tomb open when they arrived?
- Matthew: No (28:2)
- Mark: Yes (16:4)
- Luke: Yes (24:2)
- John: Yes (20:1)
Who was at the tomb when they arrived?
- Matthew: One angel (28:2-7)
- Mark: One young man (16:5)
- Luke: Two men (24:4)
- John: Two angels (20:12)
. . . well, that tells me that someone doesn't know what they're talking about.
Seems to me that if Christians want me to give up my current way of life, they need to come up with a more reliable story than this . . .

I was taught "lead by example" not by talking shit
hes the biggest piece of shit now, doesnt pay for his kids, he doesnt even go see his kids, but god is still his neighbor and when he comes hes going to walk with the choosen ones, what a crock of shit, if hes walking with the choosen ones im not, imo if you hold that bible or go to church more than once a week, you arnt workin enough, and if you put your self before your kids then go to hell imo

Tock these are easy. We see the different points of view from the different authors. One writer puts more emphasis on the details than the other. If there was two there, there was one there. For instance Luke was a physician and goes more in depth than the other there is no logical contradiction.

I suggest that people look at the prophecies concerning Christ in the old Testament.

If 2 then 1 and for that 1 the writer goes in depth.

That's a silly attempt to "explain away" some well-founded problems with the various accounts of the Christian Ressurection.
Either the Tomb was open when Jesus' Disciples arrived, or it wasn't. OPEN or CLOSED, which was it?
And when they got there, there was (were) either
1) one young man
2) two men
3) one angel
4) two angels
Which was it?
Seems to me that there's a pretty big difference between a human and an angel. That's not the sort of insignificant difference that's easy to explain away.
The only logical explanation is, the Bible is a collection of stories. Fictions. Not necessarily lies, but just the sort of stories that were never meant to be taken literally, sort of like the characters in novels, or in TV sitcoms.

Let's not change the subject just yet . . .
Let's consider the questions of:
The various accounts in the Bible say the Tomb was both open, and closed.
Either the Tomb was open when Jesus' Disciples arrived, or it wasn't. OPEN or CLOSED, which was it?
And when they got there, there was (were) either
1) one young man
2) two men
3) one angel
4) two angels

Much of the time angels appear as human beings. Paul tells us to becareful because some of us with out knowing it have entertained angels. Read the account of Lot. Remember Tock logically if there were 2 there,
then there was one there.
The bible is 66 Books written by more than 40 diff authors over more than 1500 years on 3 different continents all of which coincide in a non contradictory way with a scarlet thread running through the middle of them (Christ).

Here are some interesting ones:
(courtesy of http://faithskeptic.50megs.com/prophecies.htm )
----------------
Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
Christians say that this verse is a prophecy of Jesus' birth to a virgin. There are a couple problems with this prophecy...First, virgin in this verse is a mistranslation of the Hebrew word "almah", which actually means "young woman". A young woman is not necessarily a virgin. "Bethulah" would have been the correct word to use if the author meant virgin. Second, nowhere in the New Testament is Jesus referred to as Immanuel.
-----------------
Isaiah 52:1 Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.
There are uncircumcised people living in Jerusalem even today.
-------------------
Zechariah 11:12 And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.
Christians say that this prophecy is was fulfilled when Judas received 30 pieces of silver for betraying Jesus. Matthew 27:9 recites this verse, but incorrectly credits Jeremiah with the prophecy.
---------------------
Matthew 1:22-23 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
Again, Jesus is never referred to as Emmanuel (Immanuel).
-----------------------
Matthew 2:23 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.
Nowhere in the Old Testament is such a prophecy found, so how could such a one be fulfilled?
------------------
Matthew 12:5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
There is no passage in the Old Testament that can be attributed to what Jesus is saying here.
-------------------
Matthew 27:9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value.
This prophecy was never spoken by Jeremiah.
