Jesus baptized

Jesus did not baptize- John 4:2
Jesus' first sermon

The exorcism of Legion - 2 men

The healing on leaving Jericho was 1 blind man
- Mark 10:46, 47
The healing on leaving Jericho was 2 blind men- Matt 20:29,30
God has given all things into jesus' hands
- John 3:35
Yet, john quickly contradicts himself and tells us that god has not given all things into jesus' hands- John 5:19, also - Matt 20:23
Jesus did not bear witness to himself
- John 5:31
Jesus did bear witness to himself- John 8:14, 18
The blind man healed had once seen
- Mark 8:24
but actually, had been blind from birth- John 9:l
NOTE:
The story in Mark shows that jesus had to try twice to accomplish sight "restoration" and his account ends with the man being told not to go into town and tell anyone.
John's account is much more colorful and has jesus succeeding on the first attempt whereupon the man goes immediately into town and tells everyone. Big-mouth.
All four Gospels have the story of jesus being anointed by a woman, but...
It took place after the entry into Jerusalem on his head
- Matt 26:6-l3, Mark l4:2-11
She anoints his feet, and before jesus enters Jerusalem
- John 12:3
Or long before the arrival in Jerusalem during the early ministry, putting perfume on his feet and drying them with her hair- Luke 7:36-50
Do as I say, not as I do...er, something like that anyway
Jesus instructed his disciples not to go anywhere near Gentiles or Samaritans, but to go to 'the lost sheep of the house of Israel'
- Matt l0:5-6
Jesus wanted to enter Samaria, but was prevented from doing so by the Samaritans
- Luke 9:52
Jesus supposedly even heals a Samaritan
- Luke l7:ll-l6
Jesus' mission to the Samaritans goes even further when jesus goes into Samaria where many are converted- John 4:4,5, 39-42
This one may be the biggest fault in the entire bible, which is why you see it twice in this document.
To my reasoning, if we say that Matt and Luke are true, all that Old Testament bullshit stands (such as being stoned to death for working on Sunday, Reverend- oh yeah! you are, uh, circumsized aren't you? and so on. Just read the OT, it'll kill ya!). Yet if the old testament views are no longer valid, the very prophecies that christians claim validate the messiah can be thrown out with the washwater.Paradoxical ain't it?
The law/commandments are to remain forever
- Matt 5:17-19, Luke 16:17
