List of Biblical contradictions withers to none

Hi Joshua, thank you for this thoughtful response, though it's not clear to me whether you think Jesus said it or the Religious Official's said it. Matthew says they said it, while Luke says Jesus said it.

How many times did Jesus tell this parable?

I believe that Rome's position on the Bible is that it is infallible in matters of faith and morals, but contains errors of science and history.

It appears in the scriptures to have been told only once, but it is recorded in three places: Matthew 21:33-46, Mark 12:1-12 and Luke 20:9-19. (compare on biblegateway.org).

Then it seems it might have to concede at this fact, that it has taken an intellectually dishonest position.

When considering that this discrepancy potentially promotes contradicting views of the character of Jesus Christ (explained in post #10), and subsequently reveals that someone has made an error in the scriptures - we must ask why did the writer do this and why would [aforementioned] rather pretend that it is not important?

While I do believe this statement, I also am aware of a major contradiction between Luke 20:16 and Matthew 21:41, showing that the scriptures have not carried God's Holy Word 100% without error to this day.

In Matthew 21:41, it is written that the Pharisees suggested that The Father would put the wicked farmers to a terrible death:

They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.

In Luke 20:16 it is written that Jesus said it:

He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.

.. this is a major discrepancy having serious consequences as regarding the character of Jesus. Furthermore, it is a type of discrepancy that cannot be reconciled unless one of them is acknowledged as wrong.

I'm interested to know your thoughts about that, especially seeing that you are an official CF Ambassador!

No contradiction here.
In Luke's passage Jesus asks the question
"what will he do unto those husbandmen?"
The next verse is the answer, but it does not say who answered, just that they heard it.
You can't make the assumption that Jesus answered His own question from that verse.

Some fellow pleased to call himself a skeptic

If he claims to be a skeptic then He has a reprobate mind and that means he is not going to be able to understand the word of God. The Harvard library has over 200,000 books that confirms the first 31 verses in the Bible are accurate and true. Then skeptics come along with one book based on a reprobate mind. "And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;" Romans 1:28 They simply are not worthy and God does not give them the ability to understand. We need to be careful that we do not allow them to deceive us with their deception. They need the Mind of Christ to understand the Divinity of God and the Word of God.
