There are a noted 143 by Christian Bible scholars. Many atheists and people of other faiths are aware of these many inconsistencies. If we simply read, say, a police blotter where there were two eyewitnesses and one described the suspect as short and the other tall, we have an apparent contradiction. How could both be right? What is not in the report is that the first witness is 6'7" and the other 5'4". From their respective perspectives, the seeming contradiction is resolved.

Here are the four Gospel accounts of the Resurrection:


Women. In the Synoptic Gospels, Mary Magdalene and other women go to the tomb. In John's account, Mary Magdalene goes alone.

Appearance to the women. In Matthew 28:9, Jesus appears to the women before they tell the disciples. In John 20:13-17, Jesus appears to Mary Magdalene (also in the longer ending of Mark) -- after she reports to the disciples. In Mark, the women tell no one of what they had seen.

Number of angels. In Matthew and Mark one angel appears; in Luke and John there are two angels.

Purpose of the women's visit. In Matthew they go to "look at" the tomb. In Mark and Luke they bring spices to anoint Jesus' body. In John the anointing took place on Friday night and no purpose for Mary's visit is given.

Grave clothes. In Matthew and Mark, Jesus is wrapped in a large linen shroud (sidrōn). In John 19:40; 20:5-7 and Luke 24:12, Jesus is wrapped in strips of linen (othonion).

Location. In Matthew and Mark, Jesus' resurrection appearances are in Galilee, while Luke only records appearances in the vicinity of Jerusalem.1

Do you see the inconsistencies?

These are only the different views of Christ's resurrection. Does not change the meaning of the occasion at all. Mary M. and the other Mary were there and when they gave the account of it to the other disciples they were writing under memory of what the two women saw and did and told them. Like the account of two thieves that died with Christ. One said the two thieves railed at Christ. The other accounts said, one thief said, remember me in thy Kingdom. He must have seen something in Christ that made a believer in Him. Some writers don't give complete records as others.

Caboose,

I was not pointing out faults. I was pointing out a list that is managed and argued by Muslims. I guess I should have taken more time to explain that Islam is at war with the rest of the world. They are trying to find any grounds to undermine Christianity and one of their weapons is to use the Bible and what may superficially appear as inaccuracies. I say that there are words, key words, that have several meaning in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek and at times the wrong t***slation was made which allows for people to say there are contradictions. That is why I say there are inconsistencies and no contradictions. If my intent was not conveyed, I apologize. Again, I do not find fault in the Bible or with Christians. I find posts that seem to be benign but having an undertone that fights for Muslim beliefs as dangerous.

Please read my opening to the list again. I said “Caboose,

For the past 11 years the Muslim nation has been slowly adding this into our culture. They have several web sites and their literature they pass out has over 100 inconsistencies between the old testament and the new. "Inconsistencies" does not necessarily mean "contradictions." Islam sees all of the following as contradictions.”

Removing the long list in the middle, I concluded with “Now one must consider that they spent much time in compiling the "issues" they have found. In reality, it is usually a mist***slation of words. The sad part of this, even those who are Christians are falling for their line of thinking. They are not considering that the original texts were not in English. Most people do not speak multiple languages and even more important, even those that do hesitate to go back through the original documents and read to understand in the language the Bible was written. I did not do the leg work on each of these passages, I copied them off of a document I was given by a Muslim. I did look each verse up, in original text and what is written in our bible, and found that the problem is t***slation.”

These are only the different views of Christ's resurrection. Does not change the meaning of the occasion at all. Mary M. and the other Mary were there and when they gave the account of it to the other disciples they were writing under memory of what the two women saw and did and told them. Like the account of two thieves that died with Christ. One said the two thieves railed at Christ. The other accounts said, one thief said, remember me in thy Kingdom. He must have seen something in Christ that made a believer in Him. Some writers don't give complete records as others.

How a web we weave to deceive. I check out about 15 of these twisted scriptures and see they are all lies. I decided not to waste my time on all of this garbage. I admit there was one that threw me and I had to ask the Holy Spirit to give me the answer. That was he one about Abram being born when Terah was 70 years old and died at the age of 205. Then the verses stated Abram left Haran at the age of 75 and went forward to the promise land. No where does it state that Terah died before Abram left with Lot and his wife. The answer the Holy Spirit gave me was that Terah was still alive, but went no farther with Abram than Haran. The Bible even states that Terah was taking his family to the promise land, but Haran was as far as he got. This was a promise by God to Abram. Peter said, there will be those that twist the scripture to their own destruction. If anyone has trouble with these twisted scriptures let me know and maybe I can help. Thanks Jetson
