Greetings Ebrain! Part of the problem is the way in which the word ' contradiction' is used. A true contradiction is A and not A at the same time. A man cannot be blind and not blind at the same moment and in the same way. Neither of your examples fits this definition. Let's look at both of your examples. 1) It is entirely possible that both the mother and James and John asked Jesus the same question exactly as reported in both accounts. In which case, both accounts would be accurate. It would be difficult to call this a contradiction. 2) As for your second example, are we going to say that a 1st century writer had to use 20th century standards for quotations? An indirect quotation can also be accurate. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Both Jeremiah and Zechariah spoke from the same Spirit. It was not either one's words but the Holy Spirit. Jeremiah 32 spoke of the purchase of land in a superior prophecy. Zechariah spoke of the purchase of the potter's field for 30 pieces of silver. Have you noticed that when a combination of prophecies are quoted, only one prophet gets the credit? This happens in one of the quotes about John the Baptist (John's Gospel). |
