       The above are just few examples of the contradictions in the Bible. Dr. Muhammed Ali Alkhuli, in his book “A comparison Between the four Gospels”, presented hundreds of contradiction in the New Testament and commented:

     “Remember that I am giving here mere examples of contradictions in the NT(New Testament)… One may argue that these are minor points of disagreement. In answer to this argument, I would emphasize that with God`s word, we do not expect neither minor nor major contradictions because God is the Perfect, the All-Knowing word.” (Dar Alfalah, 1998, p41).
