Was There One Angel (Or Two)?

One angel Matthew 
Saw, outside the tomb, inside
Mark seen one angel

Luke and John seen two
Inside the tomb they saw both
It’s a perspective

We come to conclude
The same account, differing
Seen and believed it

Perspectives, what one 
missed one accounted for
There's no problem

The nay-sayers will
Say the Bible is in err
Who are they to say?

Omniscient God
Has decreed it to be this
Way, who can contend?

Let the man who can
Answer the rhetorical 
Question posed to Job

In-directedness
Speculation evasion
That is their tactic

Specification
Delineation is the
Way, Truth and the Life

Confession, repent
All you naturalist-ers
Again say repent

Science does not have
A monopoly on all
things, it can't account 

For ethics that's a
Christian world and life view
Abstractions known

Borrowed to make sense
Of a view all natural
Laws don't grow on trees
