The bible has never and will never contradict itself.
It's just that simple.
Was Jesus born during Herod's reign around 4 BC like in Matthew, or in 6 AD during Quirinius' governorship of Syria, like in Luke?
Who led the Israelites into the Promised Land? Joshua or Jesus?Scripture doesn't provide those dates so they are estimations by men. How about posting actual scriptures and prove your claim that the two books provide different years of birth?

Joshua and Jesus are the same name in different languages. Was that supposed to stump me? lol
... I can be a nerd at times, eh?
But for the record, I didn't that was going to stump you.
And 1 Corinthians 10:4 is one of my favorite verses.

No disrespect intended but...asking this question reminds me of a crime scene. Two witnesses see the same crime but one says the man had on a red shirt and the other says he had on a green shirt. Who cares? The important fact was Jesus was born. I don't see that as a contradiction.
Can you tell me what day of the week 10 September 1752 fell on?If the bible says Jesus was born two different years, that is a problem.
Can you tell me what day of the week 10 September 1752 fell on?

Perish the thought!So could your interpretations contradict the plain reading of the Scriptures?
Is this the same well-established Roman history that says Jesus died, buried, and arose from the grave?Herod's death and quirinius' governorship are well established in Roman history.
Is this the same well-established Roman history that says Jesus died, buried, and arose from the grave?
And if Roman history is so well-established, why did they have to inquire of the Wise Men when Jesus was born?
Matthew 2:7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
I see.I never claimed that all history was well established by the romans. I said 5he history of those two events were.
I see.
How coincidental.
Jesus was born in the year AD 1.Coincidental? No. They kept good, dated records of their leadership (but that isn't all we have; dated coins and statues are also pretty convenient). It would be coincidental if their records were spotty except where it disagrees with the Bible, but that isn't the case.
As for why they didn't include something as important as the resurrection in their records, well, there are several possibilities:
1. It didn't happen the way the Bible states it did
2. It was intentionally left out of records due to a desire to suppress a religion they didn't believe in
3. It was recorded, and since lost, due to various reasons (anti-Christians destroying evidence, destroyed naturally before proliferation due to fire, etc.)
4. It just wasn't observed by, or informed to the historical writers whose writing has survived
I'm sure people can think of plenty of other explanations. It's one of the reasons for the statement "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence."
Jesus was born in the year AD 1.
This 4 BC junk can take a hike.
It's really 2020 -- but of course, scientists had to get their fingers in it and now everything's messed up.
