Biblical Truths :: Examining the errancy of the bible

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 just before jesus enters Jerusalem
- John 12:3

Or long before the arrival in Jerusalem during the early ministry, putting perfume(not oil) on his feet and drying them with her hair
- Luke 7:36-50

The blind man healed had once seen
- Mark 8:24

no, wait- he had been blind from birth
- John 9:1

I find it interesting that the story according to 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. John's jesus doesn't need any do-overs. And once the man is healed, he goes immediately into town and tells everyone. Big-mouth.

Jesus did not bear witness to himself
- John 5:31

Jesus did bear witness to himself
- John 8:14, 18

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

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

The exorcism of Legion - 2 men
- Matt 8:28

The exorcism of Legion - 1 man
- Mark 5:1,2

stood on a mount
- Matt 5:1,2

stood in a plain
- Luke 6:17, 20

Only in the bible are "mount" and "plain" synonyms.

Jesus baptized
- John 3:22

Jesus did not baptize
- John 4:2

Jesus began ministry after john the baptist is imprisoned
- Mark 1:14,15,17

But of course, jesus began his ministry whilst john was still free
- John 1:28-29, 3:25-30

Jesus is taken to the Jerusalem temple eight days after he is born; the family then goes up to Nazareth.
- Luke 2:21-39

Right after jesus' birth, the family flees down to Egypt and stays there until Herod dies.
Then, even upon returning, they avoid Judea and go right to Nazareth.
- Matt 2:14-23
