This doesn't make sense. Please explain.

[Lord'sWarrior]

In Matthew 26:39 Who is there to record the words Jesus prayed to the Father? No one. It seems it is put there just to make a narrative.

Next there are three last words of Jesus in the cross. Which one is right. One, or none.

My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
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? ... Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. Matthew 27:46-50
Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit.
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. Luke 23:46
It is finished.
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. John 19:30

And then the pregnacy of Mary is put in Luke Chapter 1 during the reign of Herodes the Great that died around 4BC, and the birth of Jesus is placed while Quirinius is governator of Syria 10 years after Herodes died. Mary's preagnancy could not last 10 years instead of 9 months.

Something isn't right in these accounts. And these were what I found in a short amount of time. So kindly please explain them all.

You've found some of the many contradictions in the Bible. These are why I don't take the book literally, but see it as symbolic and spiritual instead.
I shall watch with interest to see how others explain these discrepancies.

 

[Emli]

The Gospels are eyewitness testimonies, written by imperfect men, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and complement each other. They aren't perfect biographies.

Instead of looking at the discrepancies and asking which one is correct, you need to ask yourself why they are there.

To me, this just proves that we need each other. No one can understand God, reality, or anything, fully on their own. Man is fallible, and God wants us to cooperate.

The parts where Jesus was alone, the Spirit must have showed them.

 

[Lord'sWarrior]

You know that for a person that seeks the truth, supositions, assumptions and the like dont satisfy ones appetite. For a person that just wants to go with the motions probably don't mind waiting for others, i.e. archeologists and others to solve them the puzzle that is life, which I reckon are the majority.

So the thirst still continues and urgency is for the now, not for the future.

What do you mean by this? Could you explain it further?

 

[Lord'sWarrior]

If a person wants to 'know' the truth, which Jesus is supposed to be, and that person is thirsty, he surely wont be satisfied with waiting on some other findings to mount the puzzle.

There is a joke that goes like this:

The devil and a friend of his were walking along a the friend sees a man picking something of the floor and asks the devil what did he pick up. The devil said, a piece of the truth. The friend said, Oh, that is a very bad business for you. Oh not at all, said the devil, I will let him organize it.

In Matthew 26:39 Who is there to record the words Jesus prayed to the Father? No one. It seems it is put there just to make a narrative.

Actually Peter and the two sons of Zebedee were with him. Matthew 26:37-38

'And he went a little farther, and fell on his face,' Matthew 26:39 They would have easly been within earshot.

Next there are three last words of Jesus in the cross. Which one is right. One, or none.

My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
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? ... Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. Matthew 27:46-50

Those are not Christ's last words. In the verse you quoted it says 'Jesus, when he had cried again' but it does not say what He cried. Most likely it would have been the next two verses you quote.

Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit.
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. Luke 23:46
It is finished.
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. John 19:30

Sometimes the different Gospels expand or add something that happened or was said. To me Jesus could have easly said all three of these.

And then the pregnacy of Mary is put in Luke Chapter 1 during the reign of Herodes the Great that died around 4BC, and the birth of Jesus is placed while Quirinius is governator of Syria 10 years after Herodes died. Mary's preagnancy could not last 10 years instead of 9 months.

I'm no expert on these sorts of things so here a link that might give you an sufficient answer.

I'm yet to meet person that is free. And despite the 35+ years of reading the bible you have no guaranties. If you had them you would react but simply enlighten a blind man which I rexkon that I am.

And mind you that I don't reject Christ.

Also, names can be used several times in a family....just like the name of Herod.
Maybe the governor they found in records dug up is not the same one as in Luke.

Luke 2:2 ([And] this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
At what level of government was he for the evidence researchers found?
Did they find any family info with it?

There are a few ways around the problems areas, but none that academics have generally agreed is mostly likely. These types of records were maintained, periodically, in Egypt around that time, so it was not too unusual. We also know a census was taken some time earlier of the whole Roman controlled areas for tax purposes, but so far all the dates do not quite tie up.

It'd be nice to talk to the OP directly, and not about the OP to eachother!

 

[Lord'sWarrior]

Yes I'm looking for thruth and Jesus is the truth ans life. I just got some doubts that I encountered and yes, I'm in a crisis and I wasn't saying that I have 35+ years of Bible. I'm new. As a matter of fact Jesus, G-d called me only last year ans I bought my first Bible then. I'm just trying to figure this out. I'm walking alone in my faith.

And now that I am here I could ask if somebody ever interpreted the meaning of the verse in John that says, something like, born not of the flesh, or husband's will but from...

I interpret this personaly that I was not a planned birth. That I wasn't wished to be born by my parents will. It could mean that also or not? It might be this the reason why I'm not listened, put aside always by everyone and what I say has no validity, because I am born of G-d and not thru human desire. Couldn't it?

There's catholic there but I'm not inlined to no denomination. First I had put non denominational but thdn asked to change as I thought I should mantain my 'origins'.

You are entirely correct. I apologise to him and to you. Thank you for correcting me.

Are you looking at John Chapter 1 verse 12-13? I see this has been answered. All I would add is that being born as a human being, of whatever race or colour, rich or poor, sick or well, educated or not, loved by all or despised by all - none of these things make us a child true child of G_d. Being a true child of G_d is by accepting him as your Lord and Saviour, and believing in your heart that Yeshua laid down his life for you and confessing the same with your lips. This is what people call being 'born again' - you become a part of G_d's family by adoption, yet remain in the world as his ambassador. We, all of us, are equal in his sight, and knowing lots of the Bible, or beginning to learn about the Bible, makes no difference - it is what is in our heart, towards G_d, that matters above all else in this world.

Yes it makes. But what about the part born not od husbands will. I since childhood felt somewhat abandoned and rejected. And now G-d comes and takes me in? Why couldn't all the suffering I've been through not have happened. It would make it easier. I have a huge burden in me. And I know I should trust G-d and cast all my worries. But why dis it have to be like this, only after 13 years of 'prision' he comes in? Why coulsn't He avoid all that I went through. The Bible I think says something like 'you were running but who did do you wrong'... something like that. I'm quoting drom memory.

I feel for you. I went through nothing but pain for more than 27 years before I was saved. Sometimes God allows us to go through trials and pain before we are saved. Here is the upside of this: it allows us to love and appreciate Him more, and that is nothing but a gift from God. After some time, you will also be able to help others who go through the same. It gives us more empathy. Remember, we are awaiting an ETERNITY in heaven! Your troubles on Earth, are nothing compared to that. Read 2 Corinthians 1:3-7

You are not planned by your parents, but God planned you from before He created the Universe. Ephesians 1:3-14
