Who are the Editors? If God wrote this book, how can he be
making such enormous errors?

I don't find it funny.

War or Peace?

EXODUS 15:3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.
ROM 15:33 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

Who is the father of Joseph?

MAT 1:16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of
whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
LUK 3:23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of
age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli.

This contradiction has to do only with the father of Joseph, not with the father of Jesus.

Is Jesus equal to or lesser than?

JOH 10:30 I and my Father are one.
JOH 14:28 Ye have heard how I said
unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me,
ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my
Father is greater than I.

Is it foolishness to be wise or not?

PRO 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

ECC 1:18 For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that
increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

1CO 1:19: "For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent."

Human vs. ghostly impregnation?

ACT 2:30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins,
according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his
throne;

MAT 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

(Jesus cannot be both the fruit of the loins AND the child of the Holy Ghost.)

Is GOD CRUEL, UNMERCIFUL, DESTRUCTIVE, and FEROCIOUS or KIND, MERCIFUL, and GOOD

"I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy." (JER 13:14) "Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not, but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling."

"The Lord is good to all, and his tender mercies are over all his
works." (PSA 145:9)

Did those with Saul/Paul at his conversion hear a voice?

ACT 9:7 And the men which journeyed with him stood
speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.

ACT 22:9 And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and
were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to
me.

one must understand that the people who wrote most of the books in the Bible never witness the real happenings and so only wrote on assuptions and accounts given by other people. Writers like St Luke, st Mark and other never met Christ nor witness the happenings of what they wrote about.

You should know that the Bible is a combination of different books written by different individuals we lived Hundreds of years apart in most cases, some from eyewitness accounts and others from their own experience.
The Bible IS NOT CONTRADICTORY! A good understanding of The English Language would and an open mind will help in most cases , for example God's a man of war and is a God of peace is just telling you I love peace but when war breaks out I am an excellent warrior!.
The understanding of the Culture and Language of those that wrote it is also important the Bible was written majorly in 3 different languages and most times you see more than one name for the same thing, person or places, so Jacob and Heli are/is the same.
Acts 9: 6 talks of the men hearing A VOICE and seeing no man. Acts 22: 9 says they saw the light but heard not THE VOICE OF HIM THAT SPOKE WITH ME, this two verses together shows there was a bright light which most have cut off Saul from the others and they heard a voice from the light which had cut them off from Saul and couldn't make out who the voice belongs to

I think a lot of guys have said this before including you: 'I and my father are one'. 'Me and my pale na one we b pade, if u don see me u don see my old man anything wey I talk na him talk am and anything we he talk na me talk.' this shows intimacy and oneness of purpose.

Please let him express his doubt if based on sincerity. But if based on mischief well you can't be helped .... For example most of what you call contradiction are a result of your narrow purview of expressions. Take this example:
Jesus said, " I and my father are one" now take another example of a patriotic Nigerian , " Nigeria is One" can you see that One here is used to denote Unity , agreement, and all that brings about working in unisome. So Jesus simply infer that him and his father are in unity ... Just the same way husband and wife are to be ONE

I can help you with other parts but need to be sure of your motive

This contradiction has to do only with the father of Joseph, not with the father of Jesus.

you don't understand the bible, God of war and peace, and you called this contradiction? Ok here is more:
God is a God of wrath and a God of lovingkindness.
God is a God of life and a God of death.
What makes the difference between God being a God of peace and a God of war? How incredibly great is that blindness, that darkness, that makes a person think that a God of peace and a God of war is a contradiction.



Matthew gives the genealogy of Joseph and Luke gives that of Mary, making Jacob the father of Joseph and Heli the father of Mary.
This is shown by the two narrations of
the virgin birth. Matthew 1:18-25 tells the story only from Joseph’s perspective,
while Luke 1:26-56 is told wholly from
Mary’s point of view.
A logical question to ask is why Joseph is
mentioned in both genealogies? The
answer is again simple. Luke follows
strict Hebrew tradition in mentioning
only males. Therefore, in this case, Mary
is designated by her husband’s name.

By His grace, I will attend to ALL you false allegations against God's word.

And talking about Jesus' Father . the prophesy mentioned from your loin ........ Well you not aware here that both marry and Joseph are descendants of David , the one who the prophecy implies. Hence according to flesh Jesus as two fold claim to the throne. Being that both his biological mother and his adopted father (Joseph ) were both David's descendants.

For this reason I praise God even more that the knowledge of the bible can't be inspected through the human wisdom but that from above... Putting versity degrees to shame and the intellect to stupidity. For non of Jesus' disciples were formally educated yet they understood their master. So likewise its a sham to think u need degree in theology to understand the bible ... But you need the right heart disposition.

" Father is greater than me" this verse was talking about there position.

" Jesus is equal to God"
This verse is talking about there nature.

Buhari is greater than me in position,but in spiritual knowledge I may be greater than him or equal.

Therefore, the Father is greater than Jesus, His son, in power, but Jesus is equal to him in spirit and in nature.
