Hi ,

Where can I find all the errors of the New Testament Gospels that Bart Ehrman mentions, is there any book written or any article about these errors?
How many errors , what are the contradictions of each gospel and so on.
I want a comparison of gospels like this side by side and explaining the errors

** you do not have permission to see this link **

Shall I care if the miracle happened before or after Jesus died?

or shall I care that a miracle happened – Jesus died and resurrected after…

Does this contradiction change anything?

For me not but maybe for others…

Anyway looking for more info about these contradictions about the gospels

Thanking you in advance

I find it difficult to follow you on this. Are there any “errors” in the NT? How would you measure something that is not accurate?

If you had to explain to your 8-year-old son why an airplane can fly, I would assure you that accuracy would be the least of your problems.

The NT is just a historical document and reflects the time when it was written. From a historical point of view, even when stuff is made up (and we know it since we can compare it with other independent sources) or it appears absurd, the story beyond the motivation that compelled people to lie is a historical truth.

I guess every author either was an eye witness (and we are almost sure they are not) or just a storyteller, and they contradict each other. How relevant is it?

From a theological point of view, you just need to be sufficiently open to understand that the nature of reality is problematic and opposites are reconciled, like in dialectic, and logically either this can be true or that.

After all, why only mad people should have fun?

If someone hasn’t done it yet we need a compilation of all the attempts to reconcile the nativity stories. I’ve read a couple that are quite clever.
