| Contradictions & Errors in the Bible (Part-2) 48: What about Marrying Brother's Wife? (Deuteronomy 25:5) If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger; her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her. (Leviticus 20:21) And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it (is) an unclean thing; he hath uncovered his brother's nakedness, they shall be childless. 49: Is God of the Bible a Man? (Exodus 15:3) The LORD is a man of war, his host hath he cast into the sea, his chosen captains covered them, thy sank into the bottom as a stone. 50: Was Man created first or the Beasts? Beasts were created first: (Genesis 1:25-26) And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. Man was created first: (Genesis 2:18-19) And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. 51: Seek Wisdom or not? (Proverbs 4:7) Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

(James 1:17) Every good gift & a every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. (1 Samuel 15:29) And also the strength of Israel will not lie or repent, for he is not a man, that he should repent. Yes (Genesis 6:6) And it repented the LORD that He had made man on earth, and it grieved him at His heart. (Jonah 3:10) And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way, and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them and he did it not. 55: Whose sepulture Abraham (PBUH) bought? (Acts 7:15-16) So Jacob went down into Egypt & died, he and our fathers. And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor the father of Sychem. (Genesis 23:17,18) And the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field and the cave which was therein, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all borders round about, were made sure. Unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city. 56: Solomon's (PBUH) overseers 550 OR 250? (1 Kings 9:23) These were the chief of the officers that were over Solomon's work, Five Hundred & Fifty (550), which bare rule over the people that wrought in the work. (2 Chronicles 8:10) And these were the chief of king Solomon's officers, even Two Hundred & Fifty (250), that bare the rule over the people. 57: For or Against?

(Matthew 5:16) In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. (Matthew 6:3-4) But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secert. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 59: Jesus Son of whom? God's or Holy Ghost's? (Mark 1.1) The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. (Matthew 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. 60: Jesus should be worshipped or God? (Matthew 28 16-18) Then the 11 disciples went away inti Galilee, into a mountain, where Jesus had appointed them. And when they saw him (Jesus), they worshipped him (Jesus), but some doubted. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven & in the earth. So the disciples of Jesus worshipped him, though Jesus himself confessed that he did not come to change the Law (Old Testament), but only to fulfil the Law. Now take a look at the Old Testament that what is the punishment for a person who worships any other god besides the God of Israel: (Deuteronomy 13:6-9) If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying: Let us go and worship other gods (gods that neither you nor your fathers have known, gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, from one end of the land to the other, or gods of other religions), do not yield to him or listen to him. Show him no pity. Do not spare him or shield him. You must certainly put him to death. Your hand must be the first in putting him to death, and then the hands of all the people. 61: Jesus changed the Law or not? (Matthew 5:17) Think not that I am come to destroy the Law, or the prophets, I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. (Matthew 5:38-39) Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil, but wosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. In the 2nd verse, Jesus certainly changed the Law. 62: How many Syrians did David really slew? (2 Samuel 10:18) And the Syrians fled before Israel, and David slew (the men of) seven hundred chariots of the Syrians, and forty thousand horsemen, and smote shobach the captain of their host, who died there. (2 Chronicles 18:5) And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men. 63: How many children did Arah have?

(Genesis 25:1) Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah. (1 Chronicles 1:32) Now the sons of Keturah, Abraham's concubine... 66: Nazareth or Egypt? (Matthew 2:14) When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt. (Luke 2:39) And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth. 67: From where did that woman belong, who begged Jesus for mercy? (Matthew 15:22) And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed. (Mark 7:26) The woman was a Greek and a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter. 68: Joseph son of Whom? (Matthew 1:16) Joseph the carpenter is the son of Jacob. (Luke 3:23) Joseph the carpenter is the son of Heli. 69: Jesus appeared to how many? (1 Corinthians 15:5) Jesus appeared to the twelve after he rose again. (Matthew 28:16) Jesus appeared to the eleven after he rose again. 70: How many Disciples Jesus chose? (Matthew 19:28) You which followed me in the regeneration, when the son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, you shall also sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. (John 6:70) Have I not chosen you twelve, and one of you is a DEVIL ?!!! 71: Jesus Record Witness is True or not? (John 8:14) If I bear record of myself, yet my record is true. (John 5:31) If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. 72: God left Jesus or not? (John 9:29) God is with me: The father has not left me alone. (Matthew 27:46) My God, my God, why have you forsaken me. 73: The Story of Fishermen happened when? (Luke 5:1) The story of the fishermen happened at the beginning of Jesus's mission. (see also Mathew 4:18) (John 21:1) The story of the fishermen happened after Jesus was resurrected from the dead. 74: Before or After? (Math. 21:18) Jesus purified the temple from the sellers before he passed by the fig tree which he cursed. (Mark 11:12) Jesus purified the temple from the sellers after he passed by the fig tree which he cursed. 75: When Jesus was Crucified? (Mark 15:25) It was the third hour, and they crucified him. (John 19:14) It was the sixth hour, and he was not crucified yet. 76: Who was bearing the Cross of Jesus? (Matthew 27:32) They compelled Simon to bear the cross of Jesus. (also Luke 23:26 and Mark 15:21) (John 19:17) Jesus was bearing his cross himself. 77: They put Jesus on Tree or Cross? (Mark 15:21) They put Jesus on the cross. (1 Peter 2:24) They put Jesus on the tree. (also Galatians 3:13) 78: Wine or Vinegar? (Mark 15:23) They gave him wine mingled with myrrh to drink. (Math. 27:34) They gave him vinegar mingled with gall to drink. 79: When did Jesus born? According to Matthew, Jesus was born during the reign of Herod the Great (Matthew 2:1). According to Luke, Jesus was born during the first census in Israel, while Quirinius was governor of Syria (Luke 2:2). This is impossible because Herod died in March of 4 BC and the census took place in 6 and 7 CE, about 10 years after Herod's death. 80: Where did Jesus born? Both Matthew and Luke say that Jesus was born in Bethlehem. Matthew quotes Micah 5:2 to show that this was in fulfillment of prophecy. Actually, Matthew misquotes Micah (compare Micah 5:2 to Matthew 2:6). Luke says that Mary and Joseph travelling from their home in Nazareth in Galilee to Bethlehem in Judea for the birth of Jesus (Luke 2:4). Matthew, in contradiction to Luke, says that it was only after the birth of Jesus that Mary and Joseph resided in Nazareth, and then only because they were afraid to return to Judea (Matthew 2:21-23). 81: What & how did John know about Jesus? (Luke 1:44) John's first knew Jesus, when both of them were still in their mothers' wombs, at which time John, apparently recognizing his Saviour, leaped for joy (John 1:29,36) Much later, while John is baptizing, he refers to Jesus as ;the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the worldand the Son of God . Later still, John is thrown in prison from which he does not return alive. John's definite knowledge of Jesus as the son of God and saviour of the world is explicitly contradicted by Luke 7:18-23 in which the imprisoned John sends two of his disciples to ask Jesus, Are you the one who is coming, or do we look for someone else? 82: Baptizing Jesus? John baptized for repentance (Matthew 3:11). Since Jesus was supposedly without sin, he had nothing to repent of. The fact that he was baptized by John has always been an embarrassment to the church. The gospels offer no explanation for Jesus' baptism, apart from the meaningless explanation given in Matthew 3:14-15 ;to fulfill all righteousness. Other passages, which indicate that Jesus did not consider himself sinless, are also an embarrassment to the church (Mark 10:18, Luke 18:19). Luke, who claims to be chronological (Luke 1:3), tries to give the impression that John did not baptize Jesus. Luke's account of Jesus' baptism occurs after the account of John's imprisonment (Luke 3:20-21). 83: The Last Supper, when? In Matthew 26:17, Mark 14:12 and Luke 22:7, the last supper takes place on the first day of the Passover. While In John's gospel it takes place a day earlier and Jesus is crucified on the first day of the Passover (John 19:14). 84: Where was Jesus (PBUH) 3 days after his Baptism? (Mark 1:12) And immediately the spirit driveth him into the wilderness. (John 1:35) Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples. 85: How many beatitudes in the sermon? Matthew (Matthew 5:3) Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:4) Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. (Matthew 5:5) Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. (Matthew 5:6) Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. (Matthew 5:7) Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. (Matthew 5:8) Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. (Matthew 5:9) Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. (Matthew 5:10) Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:11) Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. (Total 9 according to Matthew) Luke (Luke 6:20) And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. (Luke 6:21) Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh. (Luke 6:22) Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. (Luke 6:23) Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets. (Total 4 according to Luke) 86: When Was Peter's Mother in-Law Cured? Before or After? In Mark 1:16 - 31, we read that Jesus had made his call to his disciples before he cured one of his disciple's (Simon Peter) mother in-law. While, contradictory to the above, in Luke 4:31-5:11, Jesus cured his disciple's mother in-law after Jesus had made his call to the disciples, including Peter. |
