Numbering GoodK's list of contradictions

Post by _richardMdBorn »

Given the length of the thread stemming from GoodK's list, it may be helpful to split them as Jersey Girl suggested.

1 Matthew says Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see Jesus at his tomb.
Mark says Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome were there.
John says it was just Mary Magdalene.

2 Acts says Mary was impregnated by a man (2:30).
Matthew says she was impregnated by the Holy Ghost.

3 Matthew 27:46,50
Luke 23:46
John 19:30 can't agree on what Jesus' last words were.

4 Matthew (28:2) says that the Lord descended from heaven and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
Luke (24:4) says that two men stood there.
John (20:12) says two angels were there.

5 John says Jesus died on the day before the Passover meal was eaten.
Mark says Jesus died after the Passover meal was eaten.

6 John says Jesus died at noon, Mark says he died at 9 AM

7 Did Jesus carry his cross the entire way himself or did Simon of
Cyrene carry his cross?

8 Did both robbers mock Jesus on the
cross or did only one of them mock him and the other come to his defense?

9 Did the curtain in the temple rip in half before Jesus died or after he died?

Time permitting, I will begin some threads dealing with some of these issues which have not yet be discussed.
