@@Darksouls184 An investigator would prefer to find contradictions in a story, but in the gospels there are no contradictions, because a true contradiction would not be able to agree on anything, In this case, each Gospel agrees on the biography of Jesus precisely, their way of writing is different however, which is good, it's a prove an eyewitnesses actually witnessed the event and told it in different ways, the certainty is even more focused because there is nothing really contradictory in the story, just the way of delivery, and readers who don't want to admit it are reading too much into it, I mean, when you forget that in the same Gospel Jesus is given wine twice and instead just say "this is a contradiction!" when in reality it's not, it's just a different way of telling the story from one eyewitness to another, you are trying to slander the text (Gospel) at this point.

I find a similar phenomenon at work in a number of other so-called "contradictions." Both Acts and one of the writings of Paul describe Paul's conversion on the road to Damascus. One says that Paul's companions heard the voice but didn't understand it; the other says they didn't hear the voice. That's because one account was written in Greek, the other in Aramaic. In one language, "hear" means "to hear and understand;" in the other, it means only "to hear." Thus, in both accounts, the companions didn't both hear and understand.

Mark was written first, so when Mark says Myrrh it is probable that Mathew simply referred to Myrrh as Gall, but Mark which was written around 40 AD was more specific with the substance, because he remembered it better. Mathew not remembering what specific substance it was, might simply say "Gall" because he didn't remember it because he written in around 50 AD - according to tradition, Mathew was written 10 years after Mark. When we don't remember things, we tend to generalize - using more general terms. Like if someone was killed with a short sword or a sabre, but we don't remember what kind of sword it was, we can instead say it was a sword. Both sabre and short sword are a type of sword, but we might not remember...

According to tradition, Matthew was written prior to Mark. Papias, Clement of Alexandria, and Irenaeus of Lyons all state this, and later Augustine of Hippo also proposed Matthaean priority. Suggesting that Matthew's Gospel was originally written in Hebrew, with some early writers, such as Jerome even claiming to see the Aramaic writings of Matthew. All of them also suggest that Mark was written later than Matthew. It's only really later in the 17th and later 19th century does hypothesis of Marcan priority start prominence, but personally I don't really find those arguments to be to strong to hold weight.

And I don't see a good reason to think Papias knew what he was talking about there, AFAIK. Papias thought the gospel of Matthew was also written in Hebrew, but if it was, we don't really have much extant evidence of it: its language is greek (which would not put it beyond translation), but its composition also more follows Greek structure. Also, Jerome's claim to have seen the Aramaic writings of Matthew is one that we should regard with skepticism; he claims that certain phrases occur in it that don't really work in Aramaic (like ones that rely on Greek wordplay).

Similarly, "take your staff" vs. "don't take your staff" requires reading more into the text than it says.

Here's another detail: The soldiers gave Jesus a drink called "posca" which was a cheap drink made from sour wine or vinegar mixed with water. Sometimes posca was mixed with herbs, or sometimes they would add an egg. The Roman soldiers drank it like lemonade. This was the "wine" or "vinegar" which the Roman soldier shoved into Jesus' face. btw, the Romans did not use sponges for drinking; they used sponges the way we use toilet paper. Romans used a xylospongium, also called a tersorium, which was a sponge on a stick used for cleaning yourself after excreting. When that Roman soldier soaked a sponge with posca and shoved it in Jesus' face, it was not an act of kindness on his part; It was a mean spirited insult, an evil joke played on a dying man by a crude and vulgar thug.

Well it didn't happen and there's other prophecies of his that didn't pass either, because he's a false prophet and a liar, just like his father. His story itself has horrible evidence to even prove he existed. Nobody wrote about him until like 100 years after he died and it's all hearsay, which means it's made up because you can't trust people to carry these stories for 100 years. You can't Eben trust people today to figure out what's true or tell you the truth of what happened last week! It's absurd to believe anything about Jesus is accurate when the only writings are from anonymous people that weren't there and obviously made up their own account of what happened. Christianity is a hard fail for anything truthful. It's just a cult designed to get people to surrender their logic and reason to believe utter nonsense with not only no evidence, but evidence against their position. We know the Earth isn't flat and there's no firmament.

@@ShadowveilFox Oh lord so this is the ultimate weapon in your other comment. google. Atheist websites. WOW. The ones using the least charitable interpretations of the Bible and taking them as literal as possible. "It's just a cult designed to get people to surrender their logic and reason to believe utter nonsense with not only no evidence, but evidence against their position.

And I know the passage you're gonna bring up but trust me I actually know my Bible somewhat and how to PROPERLY research. It is not the cult definition you speak of, and if it was really made by "barbaric... men" then why does it go against all earthly desires? Riddle me this reddit atheist.

One can simply accept that the genealogies contradict, and that it doesn't provide a referendum on whether one's faith in the Bible is justified or not. That's probably easier.

I’m not saying this is a contradiction, but the fact that these translations are allowed as stumbling blocks for potential converts doesn’t at all signal a flag to y’all that the Bible has been changed and corrupted over time? Muddying many of its lessons and “historical” accounts? It seems to be a fine example of how sola scriptura is not evident.

Its always amusing watching someone claiming that something is explicitly a "contradiction" when it's not. The definition of a contradiction being something like "X =/= non-X," a contradiction would be something like Jesus walking through a wall and at the exact same time, place, and manner NOT walking through that same wall. Jesus either refusing to drink or drinking the sour wine beong offered to him by Roman soldiers at various times during the arduous hours of his scourging and crucifixion isn't a "contradiction" in either the technical or even the colloquial use of the word.

Somehow, I think this is missing the point. Rather that try to explain away the differences among the accounts of four different writers in the gospels (after all Matthew and John were primary witnesses of the story, while Mark and Luke were secondary sources), lets consider the deeper meaning. HYSSOP (Exodus 12:22-23): "And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning. For the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you." Hyssop was also used to sprinkle blood as part of the Jewish Passover. Also used for its cleansing effect in connection with plague, leprosy and chest ailments and symbolically in cleansing the soul. Hyssop was a means of transferring the blood of the sacrifice to the sinner. (Psalms 51:7): "Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow." The hyssop branch shows up in the New Testament as well. Consider the following two references together: … in the Garden of Gethsemane… (Matthew 26:42): "He … prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done." … and at the crucifixion of Jesus. (John 19:28-30): "After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost." Now, combine the Matthew and John references with Psalms 75:8): "For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them." The symbolism here is rich. The cup of sour wine Jesus drinks at the crucifixion is representing the cup of God’s wrath which we all deserve to drink because of our sins. The cup could be taken away from Jesus even if he didn’t drink it. But the cup of God’s wrath could not be taken away from us unless Jesus drank it on our behalf. This wine representing God’s wrath was transferred to Jesus on the hyssop branch. The hyssop plant and the wine vinegar are symbolizing the substitutionary death of Jesus on our behalf. Jesus died in our place. Jesus drank the cup of God’s wrath that we were supposed to drink (Psalms 75:8, above). It is like God was saying to everyone, “It wasn’t the blood of the lamb spread on your door frame with the hyssop that allowed the destroyer to pass over you when you were leaving Egypt. It wasn’t the blood of animals that Moses sprinkled on you with the hyssop that appeased my wrath. It was my Son’s blood. I did that. I led you out of Egypt. I paid the price for your rebellion. Look at the hyssop and remember my Son. Look at this Old Testament symbol and now look at the one it was symbolizing.”
