New Testament Contradictions (part 1)

Here is a quick list of 23 contradictions in the NT.... which teaches that the authors were "NOT" inspired.....

1. Who was the father of Joseph, husband of Mary?
(a) Jacob (Matthew 1:16)
(b) Hell (Luke 3:23)

2. Jesus descended from which son of David?
(a) Solomon (Matthew 1:6)
(b) Nathan (Luke 3: 31)

* keep in mind that the messiah must be from Solomon. Likewise, Luke's genealogy is not of Mary as lying apologetic people claim... read the passage, it is of Joseph

3. Who was the father of Shealtiel?
(a) Jechoniah (Matthew 1:12)
(b) Neri’ (Luke 3:27)

4. Which son of Zerubbabel was an ancestor of Jesus?
(a) Abiud (Matthew 1: 13)
(b) Rhesa (Luke 3:27)
Footnote: Yet, how could this be when according to the Tanach, in I Chronicles 3:19-20, the seven sons
of Zerubbabel are as follows:

a. Meshullam
b. Hananiah
c. Hashubah
d. Ohel
f. Berechiah
g. Hasadiah
h. Jushabhesed
Thus, the names of either Abiud or Rhesa do not fit in anyway.

5. Who was the father of Uzziah?
(a) Joram (Matthew 1:8)
(b) Amaziah (2 Chronicles 26:1)

6. Who as the father of Jechoniah?
(a) Josiah (Matthew 1:11)
(b) Jeholakim (I Chronicles 3:16)

7. How many generations were there from the Babylonian exile until Christ?
(a) Matthew says fourteen (Matthew 1:17)
(b) But a careful count of the generations reveals only thirteen (see Matthew 1: 12-16)

8. Who was the father of Shelah?
(a) Cainan (Luke 3:35-36)
(b) Arphaxad (Genesis 11:12)

9. Was John the Baptist Elijah who was to come?
(a) Yes (Matthew II: 14, 17:10-13)
(b) No (John 1:19-21)

10. Would Jesus inherit David’s throne?
(a) Yes. So said the angel (Luke 1:32)
(b) No, since he is a descendant of Jehoiakim (see Matthew 1: I 1, I Chronicles 3:16).
And Jehoiakim was cursed by God so that none of his descendants can sit upon David’s throne
(Jeremiah 36:30)

11. Jesus rode into Jerusalem on how many animals?
(a) One - a colt (Mark 11:7; cf Luke 19:3 5). “And they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their
garments on it; and he sat upon it.”
(b) Two - a colt and an ass (Matthew 21:7). “They brought the ass and the colt and put their garments
on them and he sat thereon.”
This proves, among other fine examples, that author was not Jewish... because he didn't know what the Hebrew even says.

23. What day of the month did Jesus die on?

 (a) the 15th of Aviv/Nisan according to Matthew, Mark and Luke, for in all three gospels Jesus' last supper was the passover and he was crucified the next day.

 (b) The 14th of Aviv/Nisan, for he dies on the day of Passover, this is why the Jewish rulers wouldn't go into the "Judgment hall" so they wouldn't get defiled so they could observe Passover later on (John 18:28).
