In the first Gospel (Evangelion), two seekers ask Jesus about “life”—but get fittingly different answers:
- One asks how to gain life (earthly blessings): Jesus says obey the Law’s love command (love God & neighbor) → “Do this and live. (Luke 10:25–28)
- Another asks for eternal life (heavenly existence): Jesus says sell everything, give to the poor, follow me → treasure in heaven. (Luke 18:18–24/30)
Different questions → different paths.
In canonical Luke, both ask about “eternal life,” creating inconsistency—eternal life via Law obedience or selling to give to the poor? The Law promises riches to the obedient (Deut 28), not selling all.
Evangelion’s coherence proves it’s more original, avoiding Luke’s awkward harmonisation.
