Is This a Bible Contradiction? #christianity #apologetics #bible #jesus #faith

How do we resolve Bible "contradictions"?

[Hubtones]

Thank you for your work, you're helping me and many others have better understanding of how to interpret and defend the scriptures

[kaipoijamile]

If they were the same word for word then I'd question it.

[badonlikoy]

There is no contradictions in the Bible. It's only "Differ in details" but not a contradictions. Because they are talking the same subject matter.

[jperez]

The Gospels are the accounts of several witnesses. If you go to a party with several people, ask them to write down independently the next day what they experienced and what the party was about. Are they perfectly consistent without any contradictions to their stories?

[williambillycraig]

Thank you for the clarification on what a contradiction is and is not.

[bradleyhite]

For instance if it said in one gospel that a group of women went to the tomb and then in another gospel it said Mary and a group of men went to the tomb.

[biblest]

Its not a contridiction, its provably even an undesigned coincidence which only confirms the Bible further.

[BaBcs]

What about when one gospel says Mary grabbed Jesus by the feet after His resurrection Matthew 28:9 and another gospel that says He told her not to touch Him because He had not yet ascended to the Father? John 20:17

I’ve read this was an earlier encounter Mary may have had with the Risen Christ but how does that make sense that she encountered Him twice at the same tomb? One time alone then with the other Mary the second time?

[Deisel-oklc]

In the Bible
1 Corinthians 14:33
For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace. So if God is not the author of confusion, then why does the Bible cause so much confusion ? Shouldn’t it be Chrystal clear and not subject to interpretation?

[brettburns]

John ch20 verse 2 tells it all Mary says and WE dont know where they have put him.So there was more than one person at the tomb clearly no contradiction hallelujah 🕎✡

[WhereWhatHuh]

True.
The first key in analyzing an alleged contradiction is to ask whether the given statements are mutually contradictory. Bingo.

The second key is to put it all into context. Was that what the writer meant for us to take away from what he wrote? Or are we merely reading part of the story and jumping to a conclusion?

[Maison]

So what about the death of Judas ? Matthew 27.5 and Acts 1.18

[Charles-tvoi]

Got an example of something that someone said both accounts couldn't be true, but is true. Here goes. If I say Pufferpeeps can't jump up on my couch due to being disabled from birth, but the next day I claim that the day BEFORE YESTERDAY Pufferpeeps jumped up on my couch, did I contradict? No. If ya want answer why type "why didn't this contradict "" n I'll expose why. The answer will amaze you

[alwindominic]

The authors of the Bible wrote from their different perceptions

[edaiseni]

In Kings 8:26 it says that Ahziah is 22 then in 2 Cronicles it says that Ahziah is 42. How can God make a mistake and the simplest one (Numbers)

[jfarr]

Man, it sure seems like John is trying to convey that only one woman, Mary in particular, went to the tomb by herself. I wonder why John doesn't mention the other women like Luke does if Mary was part of a group that went. Very odd.

[moogeyare]

Explain kings 8:26 and 2 chronicles 2 22.

22 years and 42 years are a numerical contradictions which doesn’t fit a contextual explanation

[bluedosek]

It's not a contradiction. It's just a different perspective.

[m_d]

Ask group of people what happened during an accident. I bet no two are exactly the same.

[melleetheka]

If you’re ignorant of biblical theology and history then yes it is but that’s why there is scholarly literature to read instead of YouTubers videos who know nothing to get info from
