Shocking contradictions in the bible: In the New Testament, there are contradictions between the genealogies of Jesus given in the first chapter of Matthew and the third chapter of Luke. Both genealogies begin with Joseph. But Matthew says Joseph’s father was Jacob, while Luke claims he was Heli. Matthew lists 26 generations between Jesus and King David, whereas Luke records 41. Matthew runs Jesus’ line of descent through David’s son Solomon, while Luke has it going through David’s son Nathan. 2. The story of Jesus' birth is also contradictory. Matthew 2:13-15 depicts Joseph and Mary as fleeing to Egypt with the baby Jesus immediately after the wise men from the east had brought gifts. But Luke 2:22-40 claims that after the birth of Jesus, his parents remained in Bethlehem for the time of Mary’s purification (which was 40 days, under the Mosaic law). Afterwards, they brought Jesus to Jerusalem "to present him to the Lord," and then returned to their home in Nazareth. Luke mentions no journey into Egypt or visit by wise men from the east. 3. Concerning the death of Judas, the disloyal disciple, Matthew 27:5 states he took the money he had received for betraying Jesus, threw it down in the temple, and "went and hanged himself." To the contrary, Acts 1:18 claims Judas used the money to purchase a field and "falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out" |

more contradictions: In describing Jesus being led to his execution, John 19:17 recounts that he carried his own cross. But Mark 15:21-23 disagrees by saying a man called Simon carried the cross. 5. As for the crucifixion, Matthew 27:44 tells us Jesus was taunted by both criminals who were being crucified with him. But Luke 23:39-43 relates that only one of the criminals taunted Jesus, the other criminal rebuked the one who was doing the taunting, and Jesus told the criminal who was defending him, "Today shalt thou be with me in paradise." 6. Regarding the last words of Jesus while on the cross, Matthew 27:46 and Mark 15:34 quote Jesus as crying with a loud voice, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" Luke 23:46 gives his final words as, "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit." John 19:30 alleges the last words were, "It is finished." |

cloudstar: Your 2 cents or 2 million cents . I have read all you wrote this Sunday morning and none of it is relevant. I do not know why Christians like to use an incoherent and controversial bible to defend their religion. Can we just use common sense to discuss abeg because I am no longer Christian so quoting scriptures to me from a dubiously-compiled storybook in a debate is of little value. Can you just answer this question please @cloudstar... is it ever justifiable to kill a suckling baby, regardless of how wicked it's parents were? |

still more: 7. There are even contradictions in the accounts of the resurrection – the supposed event that is the very foundation of the Christian religion. Mark 16:2 states that on the day of the resurrection, certain women arrived at the tomb at the rising of the sun. But John 20:1 informs us they arrived when it was yet dark. Luke 24:2 describes the tomb as open when the women arrived, whereas Matthew 28:1-2 indicates it was closed. Mark 16:5 declares that the women saw a young man at the tomb, Luke 24:4 says they saw two men, Matthew 28:2 reports they saw an angel, and John 20:11-12 claims they saw two angels. 8. Also in the resurrection stories, there are contradictions as to the identity of the women who came to the tomb,[7] whether the men or angels the women saw were inside or outside the tomb,[8] whether the men or angels were standing or sitting,[9] and whether Mary Magdalene recognized the' risen' Jesus when he first appeared to her. 9. As a final example of a New Testament contradiction, the conflicting accounts of Paul’s conversion can be cited. Acts 9:7 states that when Jesus called Paul to preach the gospel, the men who were with Paul heard a voice but saw no man. According to Acts 22:9, however, the men saw a light but didn't hear the voice speaking to Paul. Do christians still beleive that these contradictory accounts were all inspired by holy spirit? |

I would'av loved it if this teaching made frontpage mynd44. the scripture make it clear that no one know the day or the hour of christ return.but the bible dos say that we can know the time and season surrounding his comin,you may be thinkin the usual sayin like... So because disease and immorality are running rampant and because there are wars and rumors of war and we have had some few earthquake that jesus is comin soon ? Yeah we'dav heard all that before. But after studying the bible I discover somtin interesting about the end of days. Pleas read. my theory about the end of days started when I read a verse in isaiah 46. It say that God declare the end from the beginning. A similar verse was in isaiah48. This lead me to the creation story in the book of genesis. As I study the first chapter, I began to wonder, WHY IT TOOK GOD SIX DAYS TO CREATE THIS WORLD AND REST ON THE SEVENTH DAY,WHY WOULD HE TAKE SIX DAYS WHEN HE COULD HAVE CREATED THE WORLD IN ONE SECOND, IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE?I started studying the word"day" and days" I discover some interesting passages that related to this. Maby God is indicating to us how much time man would have on earth.this is the point, the bible especially the old testament is full of foreshadowing. An event that actually happen in history, also picture somtin comin in the future. An example is the sacrifice of abraham and isaac, that even actually happen,and it was also a picture of what God will do to his son jesus on the cross as an offering for the sin of the world. Now why will God take SIX days to create the world? Is this a picture of somtin we need to know? I think it is. In 2peter 3:8, the context was refferin to the second comin of jesus christ,the bible say that a one day with they Lord is as a thousand years and a thousand year is like a day. Psalm 90. A thousand year in God sight is like yesterday.so could it be that the six days of creation were yo indicate to us the time man will spend on this earth would be about six thousand years?...the seventh day of rest picturing the thousand years millennia reign, when christ come back to set up is kingdom, the time of righteousness and peace.bible scholar have calculate from the first man adam to the first comin of christ to be 4000years,if that is the case then we are could have been living at the end of what the new testament called THE LAST DAYS.now this is the issue.God deal with time in the bible, when God measure time He dose so by seven..... 1.God created the world in seven days, with the seven day bein for REST. 2according to the old testament law,the jew were commanded to REST every SEVEN days. 3.the seventh week after the passover, they celebrated a big feast of REST. 4.the seventh month of were perhaps the most important when they celebrated three of there biggest feast of REST. 5.every seventh year was the year of REST for the land. 6.every 49years ,seven times seven, they celebrated the year of jubilee, which is a year of REST for the land and liberty for the people.so it made perfect sense to me that God would set up a seven thousand year period for man to occupy the earth, with the last thousand year being a time of REST when jesus come back to set up his earthly kingdom, as spoken in revelation20.I was right when I say God deal with time he dos so by seven.the second coming of christ is the most important day in God's calendar , he want us yo know the timing . Hose was a prophet in the old testament, in verse 6 of that book , hosea talk about isreal, God chosen nation, who was always rejecting God.the nation was goin to be torn apart, but verse two say" after two days will he revive us , the third day he will raise us up and the we shall live in his sight"what dos this mean? When jesus come isreal reject him as there messiah , so God scatter the nation of isreal all over the world. For 1900 years there is no nation of isreal but God say after two days[ or 2000yrs] I will revive thee, and you, isreal will live in my sight: the scatter isreal became a nation in the year 1948.this is important because God is reviving the nation of isreal and they are about to live in his sight when jesus come back to set up his earthly kingdom , have you ever meet a cannanite ? How about the amorite? No because these are isreal enemies and God did not preserve them, the jew have been preserve because they are God chosen people and he must fulfill and keep his promise he made to them but the jew are still rejecting christ, for how long?after two days [or 2000years] I will revive thee and the third day you shall live in my sight. The second coming event are about to begin, I see the same foreshadowing in exodus 19:11. God told isreal to clean up and wait for two days, the third day I'm comin down in the sight of they nation. In john 11. Lazarus died a jew, jesus waited for two days before he raise him from death, this is a picture of how God is about to turn his back from isreal for the next two thousand years [or two days] and start reach out for the rest of the world through the new testament church which he did. God dint just throw this stuff in the bible to wast space ,maby am right , maby God is tryin to tell us somtin.in matthew17:1 say that jesus tool peter, james and john up to the mountain, apart from the rest, did the thing we want to know happen up there? Yes.jesus transfigured before them and the are giving a preview of his second coming glory, now the first word of the verse was "after six days" why did God throw this in? To was space? Or is God tryin to tell us somtin that we need to know?note:the time from adam to jesus is 4,000years[4days] the time of the church period is two thousand years [2days] so could this mean after 6000yrs [6days] God will revive isreal and fulfill his promise he made to them? Hmmm am I reading to much . If am right, BROTHERS WE ARE LIVING IN THE END OF DAYS. REPENT. THANK YOU. |

Youngsage:Guy you still don't get it. Open your eyes! The real Hebrew Bible then has not been tampered with, it's not about language. The so so called ones they are translating now to whatever languages they desire has several errors, fallacies and contradictions in it. Don't say they didn't tell you before it's too late for. Ehen one more thing, I read the bible to make reference to the mistakes and contradictions in order to enlighten the innocent and ignorant minds before it's too late. |

In as much as we know the bible contains few inconsistencies,we still choose to believe, thats Faith. This was what a Rev told me when i asked him of the council of Nikka. Before now i never knew the bible is a collection of books written as scrolls by different individuals at different places and some of these scrolls where incomplete,vague and thus voted out at the council. But in these contains the word of God and also account of God relationship with people. I also learnt that the most important words in the bible are those spoken by God and Jesus in the old and new testament respectively. Therefore we move by Faith not by sight. 1 Like |

tete7000: bla bla bla, are you in the bible? So why should you be termed the wisest? The wisest is Solomon and the strongest is Samson It's not so suitable to include Jesus because he was not just a man, get it straight. Also I said context is the key because by strongest, the op meant physically, you dear not tell me Jesus was the strongest character in the bible. |

chukwudi44:. Insults? Really? You can't express yourself without it? Never mind! chukwudi44:. Yes many books were in circulation prior to the fourth century but only 27 books were originally written during the first century that was inspired of God. Selection of this inspired scriptures have been done from the first century not the fourth century. chukwudi44:. Look closely at the names of the CATALOG during the second century- they are not Catholic Fathers. One thing of note is this catalog existed before the Council of carthage, Secondly they list Most of the bible books that are canon, some of these Catalog omitted one or two books of the 27, due to doubt of it being canon. It was the Council of Carthage that made the other additions, which made the protestants revert to the older Catalogs, hence the removal of the Apocrypha scriptures. chukwudi44:. And why did they remove it? Have you ask and research the reasons why? The protestants merely switched to the older catalogs. |

The phrase 'do not be afraid' appears 365 times in the Bible, just as the number of days in a year. This phrase is not a suggestion but a command. So as we live each day, we know God has commanded us to trust Him with all our heart and be at rest! There is power in His word, if only we could believe and have faith. |

To all of you quoting me left, right and center without saying thing meaningful. All you do is quote references from the bible, which is of little value to the issues I raised in the first page. Even, some f00ls called me an atheist. Well, all I can say is, you guys are all f00ls but I don't blame you, if your minds well properly developed you wouldn't be needing an antiquated book to tell you how best to live your life. You need fables, myths, animal stories to understand yourselves just like children that you are. First of all, Moses never wrote any book. If you think otherwise, how then can a man write how he died in his book? Common sense. Read the last chapter of Deuteronomy, a book supposedly written by Moses. The story of Jesus dying on the cross, resurrecting after three days and called the Son of God is nothing but a re-enactment of myths Egyptian gods and goddesses, which existed 2000 years before Jesus was born. Research on Horus and Osiris. Let me not get too serious with you f00ls, but think of it. You believe that one day a trumpet will sound and you guys will levitate into the clouds? You believe that you have to bribe God with tithes for blessings? F00LS!!!!!!! To think that Nigerians walk around, well dressed and yet with empty brains is surprising. No wonder men of gods make millions of dollars teaching balderdash. That is the reason why Africa will remain backwards for a long time. You guys believe in too much fiction and argue ignorantly over it, no, even kill your neighbors because of it. MUGUS! 1 Like |
