Contradictions

here are a few prose from the bible................


in matthew,an angel is sitting on the rock outside the tomb;in mark,a youth is inside.in 
luke,two men are inside.in matthew,the two marys rush from the tomb in great fear and 
joy,run to tell the disciples and meet jesus on the way.in mark,they run out in fear and say 
nothing to anyone.in luke,the two women report the story to the disciples,who do not believe 
them and there is no suggestion they meet jesus.in matthew,when mary magdeline and the 
other mary arrive at the tomb,there is a rock in front of it,then there is a violent earthquake 
and an angel descends and rolls back the stone.in luke,when the women arrive at the 
tomb,the stone is already rolled back.


these are but a few contradictions,in prose form.

The Gospels are written by four different Apostles so the difference in the recounting of the crucifixion and death of Jesus and his Resurrection.. four different people can read one book ...any book .. and describe it to another in four variations of the story.. God's Word is infallible ... and its great that u are reading the Word to see the many contradictions in the Bible... what do u believe in your heart? that is what is important... luv.. Linda-Marie..
