I have read nearly the whole thing bar a prophetic book or two and I believe Numbers. I have also read some aprocryphal text. No, so far I have found the gospels do not contradict each other and when contradiction points are shown they are always highly debatable, for instance the genealogy of Jesus. For such ancient texts, they hold up exceedingly well. I challenge you to find any other historical books that so strongly agree, being possibly without contradiction. Good luck, get back to me when you find it. @Addiekienen. No. |
What's so debatable about the genealogy of Jesus? Matthew and Luke give two different family trees for Joseph.
It doesn't matter if it holds up relatively well. The fact is, the manuscripts compiled into the canon had to be cherry picked; the books you find to "strongly agree" are contradictory with many other manuscripts not included in the bible (not to mention contradictory with each other). Even with all the cherry picking, the bible includes a lot of contradiction.
