Did Jesus say he was the son of God?

Sigh. Try Genesis 1 and Genesis 2. In the first man and woman are created together, after vegetation is created. In the second Adam is created, when no shrubs are there, then God plants the garden in Eden, then Eve is created.

Sure literalists weasel their way around this. Sarah Huckabee Sanders says Trump never lies. If you want something, it is easy to blind yourself to the obvious.
Lucky God didn’t create editors first. If he did this nonsense would have gotten rejected with a check mark by return mail.

Genesis ch. 1 gives the summary of mankind’s creation. Ch. 2 gives the detailed account.

The Bible is not a history textbook, where everything is arranged in strict chronological order. In this particular case, it simply describes things. If you were being given a tour of an orchestra, and the conductor said, “First we see the string section, and then we have the wind section,” etc., would you expect the string section to play before the wind section? The idea is ludicrous.

There is no contradiction whatsoever between the two accounts. The only difference is that between a synopsis and a full story.

Who found that Jesus was not in his tomb?
Mark 16 says three: Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome.
Matthew 28 says two: Mary Magdalene and the “other Mary”.
Luke 24 just says “the women”.
John 20 says one: Mary Magdalene.

Who was Jesus’ granddad?

Matthew 1:16 …and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, and Mary was the mother of Jesus who is called the Messiah.

Luke 3:23 Now Jesus himself was about thirty years old when he began his ministry. He was the son, so it was thought, of Joseph, the son of Heli,

Where was Jesus three days after his baptism?

Mark 1:12-13 "After his baptism, the spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness. And he was in the wilderness forty days … "

John 1:35; 1:43; 2:1-11 Next day after the baptism, Jesus selected two disciples. Second day: Jesus went to Galilee - two more disciples. Third day: Jesus was at a wedding feast in Cana in Galilee

They both give timelines, and the timelines are contradictory. Neither is a summary, that is clear.
If the Bible were as accurate as you claim, then it would be better than a history textbook, wouldn’t it?
I’m not even discussing how the sequence of events doesn’t match reality. And it is hard to argue that the story is not given in chronological order when the days are numbered, isn’t it? That’s in the original Hebrew which I read in Hebrew school. About the only part I read and understood in Hebrew, and it is far more beautiful a section in its original language than in any translation I’ve seen.

so you are saying that Adam and Eve being created at the same time after the creation of the animals is the same thing as Adam being created before the animals and the Eve being created after the animals? Wow!

They are two different texts written at two entirely different times, later combined into one at a yet-later date.

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth…” = P Document

Written by an Aaronid Priest in the age of King Hezekiah between 715 and 687 BC
“These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens…” = J Document

Written by a court person of Judah, glorifying the golden-age rule of the House of David, in the reign of King Jehoram 848-842 BC.

Well, one could say that both authors were inspired. That doesn’t explain the different time lines, though.
God is infinitely old, maybe he had Alzheimer’s.
