Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.

And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
And ye are witnesses of these things.
And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

LOR NOTE
Not so much a contradiction because Genisis chapters 1 & 2 are talking about two different creations. The first by Elohim, the second by Jehovah.
The shape of the earth
It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in: ISA 40:22
Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; MAT 4:8
Earth supported?
He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing. JOB 26:7
Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. JOB 38:4
Heaven supported too
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof. JOB 26:11
Order of creation
Here is the order in the first (Genesis 1), the Priestly tradition:
- Day 1: Sky, Earth, light
- Day 2: Water, both in ocean basins and above the sky(!)
- Day 3: Plants
- Day 4: Sun, Moon, stars (as calendrical and navigational aids)
- Day 5: Sea monsters (whales), fish, birds, land animals, creepy-crawlies (reptiles, insects, etc.)
- Day 6: Humans (apparently both sexes at the same time)
- Day 7: Nothing (the Gods took the first day off anyone ever did)
Note that there are “days,” “evenings,” and “mornings” before the Sun was created.
Here, the Deity is referred to as “Elohim,” which is a plural, thus the literal translation, “the Gods.”
In this tale, the Gods seem satisfied with what they have done, saying after each step that “it was good.”
The second one (Genesis 2), the Yahwist tradition, goes:
- Earth and heavens (misty)
- Adam, the first man (on a desolate Earth)
- Plants
- Animals
- Eve, the first woman (from Adam’s rib)
Moses’ personality
(Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.) NUM 12:3
And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle. NUM 31:14
Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. NUM 31:17
But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. NUM 31:18
Righteous live?
The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. PSA 92:12
The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come. ISA 57:1
Jesus’ first sermon plain or mount?
And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, MAT 5:1-2
And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases; LUK 6:17
And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. LUK 6:20
Jesus’ last words
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? MAT 27:46
Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. MAT 27:50
And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost. LUK 23:46
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. JOH 19:30
Years of famine
So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him, Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months before thine enemies, while they pursue thee? or that there be three days’ pestilence in thy land? now advise, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me. 2Sa 24:13
So, Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Choose thee.
Either three years’ famine; or three months to be destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me. 1 CHRONICLES 21:11-1
Moved David to anger?
And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah. 2 SAMUEL 24:1
And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel. 1 CHRONICLES 21:1
The GENEOLOGY OF JESUS?
In two places in the New Testament the genealogy of Jesus, son of Mary, is mentioned.
- MAT 1:6-16
- LUK 3:23-31
Each gives the ancestors of Joseph the CLAIMED husband of Mary and Stepfather of Jesus.
The first one starts from Abraham (verse 2) all the way down to Jesus.
The second one from Jesus all the way back to Adam.
The only common name to these two lists between David and Jesus is JOSEPH, how can this be true?
And also, how can Jesus have a genealogy when all Muslims and most Christians believe that Jesus had/has no father.
God be seen?
CAN
Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel:

And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle. EXO 33:11
And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen. EXO 33:23
CANNOT
No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. JOH 1:18
And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. EXO 33:20
Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen. 1 TIM 6:16
CRUEL, UNMERCIFUL, DESTRUCTIVE, and FEROCIOUS:
And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the LORD: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them. JER 13:14
Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass. 1Sa 15:3
KIND, MERCIFUL, and GOOD:
Behold, we count them happy which endure.
Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy. JAS 5:11
O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever. 1CH 16:34
The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works. PSA 145:9
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us.
God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 1JO 4:16
Tempts?
And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am. GEN 22:1
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: JAS 1:13

Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew. JOH 18:27

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1Jo 1:9

Depends on where you look; MAT 12:40 gives Jesus prophesying that he will spend
“three days and three nights in the heart of the earth,”
and MAR 10:34 has
“after three days (meta treis emeras) he will rise again.”
As far as I can see from a quick look, the prophecies have “after three days,” but the post-Resurrection narratives have “on the third day.”
