Contradictions in scripture Contradictions in the New Testament Contradictions in the Old Testament In Matthew 2:16 Herod has all the baby boys killed. Yet this never happened according to historical records. Genesis 6:4 claims “there were giants in the earth in those days.” Funny how we haven’t found any archeaological evidence for this. In Matthew 4:8 the Devil kidnaps Jesus and takes him to a temple at the top of "an exceedingly high mountain," high enough to see "all the kingdoms of the world.“ I guess the world was flat back then. Noah sends a dove out but it fails to find any dry land. Then 7 days letter it returns with a leaf from an olive tree. Apparently olive trees can survive underwater. In Matthew 13:32 Jesus states that the mustard seed is the smallest seed there is. And since there are no trees in the mustard family, mustard seeds do not grow into "the greatest of all trees.“ In Matthew 24:29 Jesus implies that the moon produces it’s own light, “the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven.“ In Matthew 2:1 and Luke 1:5 it states Jesus was born during the rain of king Herod. Herod died in 4BC. In Luke 2:1 Quirinius was govenor of Syria which he didn’t become until 6CE, 10 years after Herod’s death. In John 3:8 Jesus says you cannot know which way the wind is blowing, "The wind bloeth where it listeth,” which of course, isn’t true. In Romans 10:18 Paul claims that everyone has heard the Gospels been preached. Yet there are still missionaries finding new people to preach to even today let alone back then when much of the world was not known about. In Genesis 11:1 it is claimed “the whole earth was of one language” but of course in reality there were many different languages even in 2400BC. In Genesis 21:32 it is claimed Abraham “returned to the land of the Philistines” however the Philistines did not arrive in the area of Canaan until 1200BC, 800 years after Abraham is said to have migrated. In Leviticus 11:19 God claims the bat is a bird. We now know this isn’t true, bats are mammals. In Deuteronomy God says not to eat hares because they chew the cud. In reality, hares do not. In Job 39:13 God says that the ostrich abandons her eggs when she has laid them. Ostriches are in fact attentive parents that watch over their eggs. In Psalms 93:1 it is claimed that the earth cannot be moved. Of course the earth is actually moving all the time. Contradictions in the Qur’an In 1 Timothy it says "Every creature of God is good.“ God created everything therefore he must have created Satan. Is Satan good? If so where does the evil come from? sura 4:82 claims there are no contradictions in the Qur’an. “Do they not ponder on the Qur'an? Had it been from other than Allah, they would surely have found therein much discrepancy.” This is a contradiction in itself as there are contradictions in the Qur’an. In James 5:14 it says prayer can heal you from any illness. Scientific studies have shown that prayer has no medical benefits. In sura 5 it says “slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush.” In sura 29 it says “fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Messenger have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth.” Which would be fine if the Qur’an maintained this hard line attitude, however it does not. In sura 8:61 it says "But if the enemy incline towards peace, do thou (also) incline towards peace, and trust in God: for He is One that heareth and knoweth (all things).” In sura 27 Soloman overhears ants talking. Yet ants do not talk, they communicate using smells. In sura 71:15 it says “do you not see how God has created the seven heavens one above the other, and made the moon a light in their midst” but of course the moon does not actually produce it’s own light. In sura 6:34 it says “there is none that can alter the words (and decrees) of Allah” and in sura 6:115 it says “None can change His words” yet in sura 16:101 it says “None of Our revelations do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, but We substitute something better or similar.” In sura 20:90 a Samaritan helped the Israelites build a golden calf. However the Samaritan people did not come into existence until 1000 years after Moses left Egypt. Who was the first Muslim? In sura 39:12 Muhammad claims "And I [Muhammad] am commanded to be the first of those who bow to Allah in Islam.” In sura 7:143 Moses claims “I am the first to believe.“ Yet according to Islam teachings Adam and Eve were the first Muslims. In sura 96:2 it is claimed man was created out of “a (mere) clot of congealed blood,“ while in sura 15:26 it is claimed God “created man from sounding clay” and in sura 3:59 “He created him from dust.”
