RE: Five Irreconcilable Contradictions in the Bible
Dear @gandhibaba,
Responding to your last supposed contradiction concerning what time of day did Mary visit the tomb of Jesus:
Mary came alone at first when it was still dark before sunrise (John 20:1), and then again later after sunrise, she returned with the other women (Mark 16:1). In support of this is the fact that only Mary is mentioned in John, but Mary and the other women are named in Mark. Also, Luke (24:1) says it was “very early in the morning,” implying after sunrise, when the “women” [not just Mary] had come. Likewise, Matthew (28:1) speaks of it being “after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn” that “Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.” Only John mentions Mary being there alone “while it was still dark” (John 20:1).
Conclusion: Considering I proved that all 5 claimed contradictions were not contradictions at all, the Bible still stands as the only divinely inspired inerrant Word of God.

Can it be dark at sunrise?
Dear @gandhibaba,
Mary came alone at first when it was still dark before sunrise. She returned later with the other women after sunrise.

While I appreciate all your defences, some of them worthy of commendation, you succeeded in writing your own gospel. Even if Judas had hung himself like you rightly said, he couldn't have burst open in the middle. Even if this was the case, why can't the inerrant word speaks for itself?
Dear @gandhibaba,
The heat of the Middle East would hasten the rotting of a body hung a tree.
Judas' rotting body tore away from the rope and burst open when it hit the ground.

Is this the gospel or your own gospel or your own opinion? Anyway, I appreciate your contributions to this discourse. Thanks.
