It's like there are many Jesus in the Bible!

SeraphEl:
The answer is simple: each account gave a different view or perspective of what happened. The fact that they do not all sound exactly the same, lends credibility to the story. Instead, each account serve as a piece of puzzle that you must piece together to form a more complete picture.

If you want to get full picture of what happened, put the various pieces of the puzzle, especially the unique ones, and form a more complete picture of the events surrounding the Messiah's crucifixion.

Also, keep in mind the main point of the story was elucidated clearly. AND THAT IS SUFFICIENT. The minute details are OF little consequences.

The main plot: a person named Yeshua, was GOD in flesh, the Messiah of Israel and of mankind lived, performed mighty deeds. Was rejected by priests and elders of the time, handed over to a Roman official named Pilate. HE was tried, crucified, died and rose again on the 3rd day. THE END.

THAT is the main gist of the story- and all by accounts, THIS message was clearly conveyed. And it is enough. FORGET THE REST OF THE SMALL STUFF. Unless of course, your goal is to seek to discredit the faith, which is what YOU REALLY ARE AFTER.

SIRTee15:



U forgot the trial narrative in the Qur'an. The one confabulated by your prophet.
The Jews celebrated they killed the Messiah and thought they crucified him.
But by abracadabra Jesus disappeared from their midst and it seems they didn't know but mistakenly took someone else and nailed him to the cross.

My question is why would the Jews kill their Messiah?

AbuTwins:


There was no trial narrative in the Qur'an that's similar to the Bible!

Yes, the Jews thought he was killed but he wasn't! It was made to appear as such!

Jesus's mission hasn't ended so he had to live!

Why did the Jews kill John and others?
They've been doing that before Jesus!

In the Bible, it's made to look like Jesus was killed because he claimed to be the king of the Jews!

I wonder where he claimed that while preaching!

All the accounts always differ in major and irreconcilable ways!

SIRTee15:


I didn't ask you why the Jews killed Jesus, my bible has the answer.
I'm asking U why did the Jews killed the messiah- their Messiah.
Why would Jews kill their Messiah, someone foretold in their scriptures and they have been waiting for...
Why would Jews say they have killed their Messiah if he's someone they have been anticipating?

That's my question.

AbuTwins:


They don't believe in him!

AbuTwins:


Sorry, I should shift my faith to another lie and just neglect the obvious lie from Jesus or Mark or whoever compiled the book?

Explain the mistake?

SeraphEl:
Which lie exactly. Devil, your father is the author of lies. You know, you are vain and futile in your efforts to discredit the faith. At the end, when you die, you will still stand before this Messiah and give account of your life.

Keep flexing your pseudo intellectual muscle as if you will live forever and know what awaits you after you exhale the last breathe. Silly people.

AbuTwins:


Coping after capping!


If someone used your name instead of your father's would you cap like this? That's a lie!
And you have to shift the narration to cope with the situation!

SeraphEl:
The beginning of the speech of a fool is foolishness, and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.

SMH. Coping, capping. All fools speech.

CONTRADICTIONS
Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you yourself will be like him. Proverbs 26:4

Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he become wise in his own eyes. Proverbs 26:5

SeraphEl:
These are not contradictions. BOTH ARE CORRECT. IT IS A SITUATIONAL IDOM. Meaning, which one applies depends on situation.

Certain cases call for you to answer fools; and certain situations call for you to walk away lest you become foolish.

REALLY, ARE YOU ALRIGHT AT ALL? No common sense either. Wow.

CONTRADICTIONS
Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you yourself will be like him. Proverbs 26:4
Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he become wise in his own eyes. Proverbs 26:5

1 Just as snow should not fall in summer, nor rain at harvest time, so people should not honor a fool.
2 Don’t worry when someone curses you for no reason. Nothing bad will happen. Such words are like birds that fly past and never stop.
3 You have to whip a horse, you have to put a bridle on a mule, and you have to beat a fool.
4-5 There is no good way to answer fools when they say something stupid. If you answer them, then you, too, will look like a fool. If you don’t answer them, they will think they are smart. - Proverbs 26 vs 1 - 5

AbuTwins:


My take has been stated in the OP!

MightySparrow:



The OP is as ignorant as, if not more than you.

Kobojunkie:
That ain't an example of a contradiction! Language comprehension problems on your part should not be blamed on the text.

Kobojunkie:
Can you more specifically indicate the actual contradictions that you identified in the accounts from the Gospels? I have taken the liberty of including the dictionary definition of the word Contradiction to help you in crafting your response.

AbuTwins:


Yeah right!
Jesus was an English man!

AbuTwins:
∆ So what do you do to a fool? Answer them or Do not answer them?
∆ Why did Paul have to write to the foolish Galatians when they are already foolish?

AbuTwins:
∆ Read each of the post in the OP and you'll see variations and differences in many accounts!
Those are contradictions!
