They cannot be reconciled. > > I’m sure that you will say that one recounts Jesus’ ancestry on Mary’s side, the other’s on Joseph’s. Please explain which one is which, and why. > > While you care looking at these geneologies, please examine the claim in Matthew that the generations from Abraham to David were 14 in number, that the generations from David to the exile were 14 in number, and that the generations from the Exile to Christ was 14. Copy the list down and count for your ownself. If you paid attention in kindergarten, you will notice a discrepency. > > While you’re in the New Testament, examine the four Passion narratives. This is the most important story of the mythology, no? Why is it that each one contradicts the others? Examine the resurrection narratives while you’re at it. > > Those are off the top of my head. I haven’t a Bible nearby, but if you wish I will look at one of mine later and find some more internal contradictions. But first I’d like to see your responses to the ones I just mentioned. I’m well aware of those contradictions and they weren’t enough to make me believe the Bible is false. The answers can easily be found with a Google search… If you would really believe the Bible is the Word of God after I answered those then I would take the time to explain them… but since the answers can be found on the internet, then if you really want the explanations you can find them yourself. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-killed-jesus/491168)._
