Bible Contradictions, Errors: Bible is Full of Contradictions & Errors

[regnauld]

---

Believers treat the Bible "as if" it were perfect and without flaws, infallible and error-free. The truth, is that the Bible has lots of errors, mistakes, and contradictions. That's only to be expected in a set of texts written and collected over several thousand years. In any other collection, errors and contradictions would be unremarkable. Because it's the Bible, this generates no end of debate.

I have read from somewhere that most of the New Testament writers never met or saw Jesus in their lives. They lived many years after Jesus left the Earth. They wouldn't have known Jesus of Nazareth if they walked him on the street.

The Bible writers were great believers and great historians. They took the stories which had been passed down to them and to their friends by others - elders - from elder to elder, until finally a written record was made. And not everything of the Bible authors was included in the final document.

Already "churches" had sprung up around the teachings of Jesus - and, as happens whenever and wherever people gather in groups around a powerful idea, there were certain individuals within these churches, or enclaves, who determined what parts of the Jesus Story were going to be told - and how. This process of selecting and editing continued throughout the gathering, writing, and publishing of the gospels, and the Bible.

Even several centuries after the original scriptures were committed to writing, a High Council of the Church determined yet one more time which doctrines and truths were to be included in the then - official Bible - and which would be "unhealthy" or "premature" to reveal to the masses.

And there have been other holy scriptures as well - each placed in writing in moments of inspiration by otherwise ordinary men.

During Holy Week Christians are expected to devote time to the study of the passion of Jesus Christ - his suffering, his death, and his eventual resurrection which is commemorated on Easter. For something so important, it's curious how contradictory the gospel accounts are. Did Jesus ride one or two animals into Jerusalem? Was the Last Supper a Passover meal or not? How and where was Jesus anointed? The gospels don't agree on any of these events.

What is Passion Week or Holy Week?:
For Christians, Holy Week is the final week of Lent. It begins with Palm Sunday, also known as Passion Sunday, and ends with Easter Sunday. During this week Christians are expected to devote time to the study of the passion of Jesus Christ — his suffering, his death, and his eventual resurrection which is commemorated on Easter. In the gospels, Passion Week is the last week of Jesus’ life, spent in Jerusalem. For something so important, it’s curious how contradictory the gospel accounts are.
Jesus’ Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem with Animals:
Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem had to adhere to prophecy, but which one?

Mark 11:2-7, Luke 19:30-35 - Following Jesus’ instructions, the disciples bring him one animal
Matthew 21:2-6 - Following Jesus’ instructions, the disciples bring him two animals
John 12:14 - Jesus doesn’t instruct the disciples at all and gets a single animal himself

Mark 11:7, Luke 19:35, John 12:14 - Jesus rides a single animal when entering Jerusalem
Matthew 21:7 - Jesus rides two animals at the same time

hehehe... tell us something we don't know pre.

But let me just put in a certain fact about bible defenders pre. 2000+ years of the bible's existence means 2,000 years worth of excuses that they can throw at you. Believe me, if you have a product that has been around for a long time you come to be an absolute authority about knowing about it inside out.
