Bible Note: Greetings Tam! How can Scripture be inerrant yet contain discrepancies? :-) I believe that all the particulars can be reconciled as soon as we get people to understand what is and is not a contradiction. For illustrative purposes, lets imagine that the following letters represent different aspects of a Gospel narrative: A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. Matthew might record events A, C, E, and G. Mark might record events B, D, and F. Luke might record events A, D, F, and G. These would not be contradictory. They would only be contradictory is one of the authors said, 'Not A', 'Not B', ect... People misuse the word 'contradiction' all the time when it pertains to the Gospel narrative. One author mentioning an angel, while another author mentions two is not a contraction. One author mentioning an angel, while another author specifically states that there were no angels would be a contradiction. We do not find this in Scripture. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
