an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things
of men.'"
Concerning the alleged crucifixion events, Matthew 27/44 says, "Even the robbers
who were crucified with Him reviled Him with the same thing." Here the two
thieves are mentioned as acting together. However, Luke 23/39-40 states, "Then one
of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, 'If You are the
Christ, save Yourself and us.' But the other, answering, rebuked him,
saying, 'Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same
condemnation?'" In the latter example, the two thieves are not acting together; rather,
they are in opposition to each other.
Changes, alterations and contradictions are found not only in the New Testament but also
in the Old Testament.[13] For example, in 2 Kings 8/26 we are told, "Ahaziah was
twenty-two years old when he became king." This contradicts 2 Chronicles 22/2,
which states, "Ahaziah was forty-two years old when he became king." Another
contradiction found in 2 Kings 24/8 is, "Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when
he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months." when compared to
2 Chronicles 36/9, which states, "Jehoiachin was eight years old when he became
king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months and ten days."
2 Samuel 6/23, which says, "Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no
children to the day of her death" clearly contradicts 2 Samuel 21/8, which reads, "So
the king took Armoni and Mephibosheth, the two sons of Rizpah the daughter
of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, and the five sons of Michal the daughter of
Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite."
In the New Standard American Version of 1973, the name Michal, as in 2 Samuel 21/8,
which appears in both King James Version and the New World Translation of Jehovah's
Witnesses, was replaced by Mirab to conceal the contradiction. Addressing the issue of
seeing God as stated in both the Old and New Testaments, John 1/18 tells us, "No one
has seen God at any time." This is also confirmed by 1 John 4/12. However, Genesis
32/30 tells a different story: "And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: 'For
I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.'" Strangely enough, this is
also confirmed by Exodus 33/11, which says, "So the Lord spoke to Moses face to
face, as a man speaks to his friend." And in Exodus 24/9-11, we are told: "Then
Moses went up, also Aaron… So they saw God, and they ate and drank."
