This last year I tried to put out more posts resolving Bible contradictions concerning the final week of Christ through His Ascension to add to the list I put out last year. It takes some time on my part to go through them to provide exegetically sound refutations; Lord willing I will add more to this lists next year. See my post I wrote on why refuting Bible Contradictions Takes Time. As of Passion Week 2020 I have responded to forty alleged Bible contradictions that took place during the final week of Jesus’ life up to His Ascension. These posts are arranged below roughly in chronological order with additions added after last Resurrection Sunday labeled “NEW” in red:
- On what did Jesus ride into Jerusalem?
- Did Jesus forewarn the apostles of his death and resurrection?
- Did Jesus tell his disciples everything?
- Did Jesus ask God to save him from crucifixion? NEW
- When did Satan enter Judas?
- Did Judas identify Jesus with a kiss?
- Was Jesus taken to Caiaphas or Annas first?
- How did Jesus respond when questioned by the high priest?

Thanks for putting together this timely Passion Week listing! I truly appreciate all of the effort you’ve put into refuting these cherry-picking “contradictions.”
You’re welcome! I hope this would be helpful to those who are looking for answers. How are your supplies with things this week?
RE: supplies
We bought A LOT of groceries about two weeks ago and that’s been holding out pretty well. My routine was going to the grocery about every other day so it’s strange to stay away this long. How are your supplies holding up?
Thank you for this extensive set of responses/clarifications pastor Jim. On a different light, this will be a good resource for script writers, who will someday work on another movie on the life, crucifiction, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus. GOD bless!
Oh wow yeah that’s true it would be good for those making a film of Jesus and harmonizing the details with the four Gospels in one narrating story. Also thank you for yesterday sharing me details of your background in the Island. In the States I have regularly preach at Filipino churches and there’s much I admire from your culture!
Really, with Filipino churches? That is great. Thank you pastor Jim. GOD willing, someday, there will be a new film and the writers or producers will come across this particular article, that will be great!
Reblogged this on a simple man of God.
Great timing in releasing this. Thanks!

Jim, I appreciate your list. I have saved this post for later reference. It would be beneficial to go back and study at least one or two per week. Thanks for sharing.
A good idea of studying one per week
I hope you can keep rolling these out!
This was a joy to read through them

Thank you for the work you put into these answers
The contradictions surrounding Judas are hard for me to understand. So I appreciate you answering them
What labor of love
Many atheists actively spewing so called contradictions are apostates. They became disillusioned with “Christianity” which often is a watered down version of the truth or they didn’t understand it to be begin with. For any atheist troll reading this here’s an idea: instead of saying things you see from others, have a discussion and base your interpretation of the Bible based upon context. Before you talk to a German…learn German. LIkewise actually learn what the Bible teaches instead of poor website like the Skeptic Annotated BIble
