next time when you go to church don't forget to ask your priest these question,s iff you are a true christian

well you had me interested untill you STARTED SCREAMING

I have seen and answered this question before : the apparent contradictions or discrepancies in the Bible.

Do you think Christians will fall for this line? We know better because we are aware of the principles of hermeneutics.

As an example, take # 79 about how Judas died. Acts 1:18 did NOT day Judas did not hang himself, ("... where he fell to his death; he burst open and all his insides spilled out"). So, according to your question, did he hang himself OR did he fall to his death? He did both. He hanged himself; in the process, the rope broke, he fell to the ground, etc. Why do you assume that the two were exclusive?

Most of your other discrepancies have a simple explanation; some have complicated explanations; and a very few of them we just don't know the answer yet. That doesn't mean that we throw the baby out with the bath water.

What is your question? I don't follow

I have take n time to look up one of what I guess you are saying are contradictios??????

Luke 24:50 & 51-- my bible does not say anything about speechless

Acts 9:7 -- my Bible says they stood speechless.

But no matter--- These are two entirely different times.

Luke is takling about Jesus had ascended to heaven

Acts is when Jesus got Paul (Saul) attention.

I won't take time to answer uninformed questions. When you actually read the passages with each of your quotes and make sure they are contradicting the exact same thing, I will be glad to talk with you.

It sounds like you took this list from some one else. Why do you feel the need to publish someone elses thoughts when you have not checked them out for yourself?

wow you got a lot of **** there. where should i start. first off the bible is not just one book as i see you know from the way you cited everything, It was the disciples writing each their own version of the story of christ, there are going to be some changes of perspective. that is why the bible is so well recieved, it gives multiple perspectives and odds are one of them will appeal to you. Second, the bible is full of allegory and symbolism meant to portray certain morals and messages. third, the bible was translated, at one point, into english, different word usage changes the way certain words get translated, and being written by several different people will cause several different occurences when translated, which means different words

In reference to the Gospels, they are eye witness accounts which will differ. Except for Luke who was a doctor who investigated said accounts. If the Gospels were exactly the same, people would accuse them of collusion (A secret agreement between two or more parties for a fraudulent, illegal, or deceitful purpose).

You also have much information here which could not be validly addressed in such a forum. Try asking about one section of doubtful scripture at a time.

I would not bother after reading 1/2 I can see you are just copy and quote you have not read any of it for yourself I do not see contradictions in the bible if rtead as a whole there may have been more than one ocation for some and others may not have been acurate becouse the gosple writers were not presant it does not efect my belave in the bible at all

You should read what your asking before you ask because to someone who has read and studied the Word you are calling false your questions are the only thing that is false. I'm sure that you have been very dissappointed in some things in life and in your dispair someone are thing has come to you to teach you this rubbish. If you truely want to be set free then ask Jesus in prayer to answer your questions he will. Galatians 5:1 speaks of being free from bondage. I'm not talking about religion, I'm talking about relationship with the living God.

There are some easy answers to these "Differences:

Realize each gospel writer was looking at a story from his point of view. So while one would concentrate on one thief on the cross another would concentrate on both of them.

The potters Field was bought by the Chief Priests using Judas's money

Canaan=Greek same thing.

Same thing with the blind men one writer concentrated on one man another writer concentrated on both men.

If i were to create a scene and ask four different people to describe it to an artist and lawyer an Hollywood star and a average Joe on the street four deceptions would be give of the same scene.

So each gospel writer tried to tell the story to different groups of people.

A Partial List of Problems and Contradictions in the Quran

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a partial list of problems found in the Quran, which to the best of our knowledge remain unanswered. Your thoughts, comments, or explanations of any of the below are welcomed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Creation: The biblical Genesis account says God created all in six days (see Genesis 1:1 - 2:2). The Quran, however, has a real problem here as Surah 41:9, 10, 12 have a total of eight days of creation (4+2+2=8) Meanwhile, Surah 10:3 gives the total number of days of creation as six. This is a problem of self-contradiction.

2. Pharaoh: According to the Quran (Surah 7:120-125) Pharaoh used crucifixion in dealing with the sorcerers - a practice which historical evidence gives no precedent to before the Babylonian Empire. This is once again a problem of historical compression.

3. The Golden Calf: According to the Quran (Surah 20:90-100)a Samaritan helped the Israelites build the golden calf, and it mooed after coming out of the fire. In reality, Samaritans did not exist as a people until at least 1000 years after the time of the Moses and the Israelite exodus from Egypt. Again a problem of historical compression.

4. Judaism: According to the Quran (Surah 9:30) the Jews believe that Ezra is the Son of God - the Messiah. This never has been a tenet of Judaism. This is a clear problem of distorted knowledge of other religions and historical fact.

5. Alexander the Great: According to the Quran (Surah 18:89-98) Alexander the Great was a devout Muslim and lived to a ripe old age. Historical records however show that Alexander the Great died young at 33 years of age (b. 356 B.C. - d. 323 B.C.), and believed he was divine, forcing others to recognize him as such. In India on the Hyphasis River (now Beas) Alexander erected twelve altars to twelve Olympian gods. Once again the Quran shows errors in historical and religious fact.

6. The Trinity: According to the Quran (Surah 5:116, 5:73-75) the Christians believe in "three Gods" - Father, Mother, and Son. This shows the influence of heretical 'Christian' sects in central Arabia at the time of Muhammad. In contrast, Christianity has always distinctly stated that the Trinity is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The teaching of the Quran on the Trinity has undoubtedly led to confusion among many Muslims on what the Bible (and thus Christianity) teaches about the Triune God.

7. Mary: According to the Quran (Surah 19:28, 3:33-36), Mary, the mother of Jesus, was the daughter of Imran or Amram, the father of Moses and Aaron. Mary is also said to be the sister of Moses and Aaron. Clearly Muhammad confused Mary with Miriam.

A second interesting point about Mary is the story of the date palm speaking and offering its fruit to her (Surah 19:23). This legend is easily traced to similar legends found in the apocryphal "Protoevangelium of James" the "Pseudo-Matthew" and "the Gospel of the Nativity of Mary" all of which have been dated to the fourth to sixth centuries, and were again believed by the sects found in Arabia. (More indepth information on Quranic sources may be found in Rev. W. St. Clair Tisdall's The Religion of the Crescent).

8. Textual Variants in the Quran: Many Muslims claim that the Quran today is identical to the revelations received by Muhammad. However, there is overwhelming unanswered evidence to the contrary. This includes evidence of variations both prior to, and after Uthman.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How do we view and respond to these unresolved problems of logic, history and religious knowledge? While they do not serve as the basis for our belief that the Quran is not the revelation of God (as there are issues of far greater consequence between the message of the Bible and the message of the Quran), they do show us that there are legitimate problems with the belief that the Quran is God's revelation to man, as God who is all knowing and infallible could not give statements of error, and then claim them as His Truth. As Christians we find the answer in the Bible. Numbers 23 tells us,

God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man that He should repent. Has He said, and He will not do? Or has He spoken, and He will not make it good? (vs.19)

God, who is all knowing and all powerful, cannot be errant in His revelation to man. The problems in the Quran and differences between the Bible and Quran are numerous, leaving an unresolved difficulty for Islam which claims to be a fulfillment of the Bible. The following link provides further, more indepth discussion of the above and otherproblems in the Quran.

pick your publication, it doesn't matter- all tools for the mush heads- just extend your arms out in front of you, close your eyes, and repeat after me: I am a follower of something someone wrote thousands of years ago - and because i have been told this from the time I could understand the spoken word- it must be true

How many different ways are you going to put this up? There's a real question for you.
