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 2022 I have responded to fifty 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 in the Gospel with additions we wrote after last Resurrection Sunday labeled “NEW” in red:
- Who asked for the best seats in heaven?
- On what did Jesus ride into Jerusalem?
- When did Jesus’s temple tantrum occur? NEW

This will help people for years to come
One of the good things about having these challenges from skeptics is that it forces one to look more closely for the truth and then make it clear to others. To do this right takes time as you mentioned in the post you linked to. I am glad you took the time and care to do so.
Agreed that is a good that come out of all this is a closer examination of the Scriptures! Have a blessed Good Friday today brother
Amazing work!
