| No | Event | Contradicting statement | Contradicting statement |
| 164 | Death ?? | John 8:51 Jesus says: "... if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death." | but Jesus himself died on the cross |
| 165 | love or hurl ? | Mathew
5:39, Mathew 5:44 Jesus says: "Do not resist evil. Love your
enemies." |
Mathew 6:15, 12:34, 16:3, 22:18, 23:13-15, 17, 19, 27, 29, 33 / Mark 7:6 / Luke 11:40, 44, 12:56 Jesus repeatedly hurls epithets at his opponents. |
| 166 | Hiding or not hiding ? | Mathew
11:25, Mark 4:11-12 Jesus thanks God for hiding some things from
the wise while revealing them to "babes." He says that he uses
parables so that the meaning of some of his teachings will remain hidden
to at least some persons, and specifically so that they will not turn
and be forgiven. |
Mark 4:22 Jesus says that all things should be made known. |
| 167 | God's (Jesus) Anger | Mathew
5:22 Anger by itself is a sin. |
Mathew
11:22-24, Luke 10:13-15 Jesus curses the inhabitants of several
cities who are not sufficiently impressed with his mighty works.
Mathew 21:19, Mark 11:12-14 Jesus curses a fig tree when it fails to bear fruit out of season Mark 3:5 Jesus looks around "angrily." |
| 168 | Call another a fool | Mathew
5:22 Anyone who calls another a fool is liable to Hell. [Jesus speaking] |
Mathew
7:26 Jesus says that anyone who hears his words and does not do
them is a fool. (Note: The translation now prevalent, "like a
foolish man," Mathew 7:26 is a dishonest attempt to alleviate the obvious inconsistency here in that the oldest Greek manuscripts use the same Greek word translated "fool" in Mathew 5:22 and "like a foolish man" in Mathew 7:26.) Mathew 23:17-19 Jesus twice calls the Pharisees blind fools. Mathew 25:2, 3, 8 Jesus likens the maidens who took no oil to fools. (Note: Again, this is the same Greek word translated "fool" in Mathew 5:22 and Mathew 23:17-19.) 1Corinthians 1:23, 3:18, 4:10 Paul uses fool with regard to Christians becoming fools for Christ. (Note: Again, this is the same Greek word translated "fool" in Mathew 5:22 and Mathew 23:17-19.) |
| 169 | Those are against Jesus? | Mathew
12:30 Jesus says that those who are not with him are against him. |
Mark
9:40 Jesus says that those who are not against him are for him. (Note: This puts those who are indifferent or undecided in the "for him" category in the first instance and in the "against him" category in the second instance.) |
| 170 | Jesus'
Mission Guns or Roses ? |
Mathew
5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers; for they shall be called the
children of God. John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you." Acts 10:36 "The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ." Luke 2:14 " . . . on earth peace, good will toward men."
|
Matthew
10:34 "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I
came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at
variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and
the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be
they of his own household." Luke 22:36 "Then said he unto them, . . . he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one." |
| 171 | Jesus Mission | Mathew
10:34, Luke 12:49-53 Jesus has come to bring a sword, fire, and
division , not peace. |
John 16:33 Jesus says: "In me you have peace." |
| 172 | Buy sword or not ? | Mathew

it. |
Luke 22:36-38 Buy swords. |
| 173 | Will give signs or not ? | Mathew
12:39, Mark 8:12, Luke 11:29 Jesus says that he will give no

5:37, 15:19, Mark 7:22, John 8:14, 44, 14:6, 18:37 Jesus says
that you should answer a plain "yes" or "no," that
his purpose is to bear witness to the truth, and that his testimony is
true. He equates lying with evil. |
John
7:2-10 Jesus tells his brothers that he is not going to Jerusalem
for the Feast of the Tabernacles, then later goes secretly by himself.
(Note: The words "not yet" were added to some versions at John 7:8 in order to alleviate this problem. The context at John 7:10 makes the deception clear, however.) |
| 176 | Authority was given or not ? | Mathew
20:23, Mark 10:40 Jesus responds that it is not his to give. |
Mathew 28:18, John 3:35 All authority has been given to Jesus. |
| 177 | Is
Jesus trustworthy "Record" and "witness" in the above verses are the same Greek word (martyria). |
John 5:31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness Is not true. | John 8:14 Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record or myself, yet my record is true. |
| 178 | Contradicting genealogy ? | Mathew
23:35 Jesus says that Zacharias (Zechariah) was the son of
Barachias (Barachiah).
|
2Chronicles

| 179 | Why didnt the Jesus's prayer dismissed.. | Mathew
18:19 If two [believers] agree about anything they ask, God will
do it for them.

|
Mathew.27:46,50: "And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, eli, lama sabachthani?" that is to say, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" ...Jesus, when he cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost." |
| 180 | God's (Jesus) way of teaching ? | Mark
4:11-12, 11:25 Jesus says that he uses parables so that the
meaning of some of his teachings will remain secret to at least some
persons. He explains the meanings of the parables only to his disciples.
He thanks God for hiding some things from the wise while revealing them
to "babes." |
John 18:20 Jesus says that he always taught openly, never secretly. |

1:18 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity;
and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels
gushed out. Act 1:19 And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Acelda ma, that is to say, The field of blood. Mathew 27:6 And the chief
priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put
them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood. |

| 198 | Thirty pieces | Zechariah
11:12-13 Mentions "thirty pieces" and could possibly be
thought to be connected with the Potter's Field prophesy referred to in
