Post-Resurrection Instructions
...go tell my brethren to go into Galilee and there shall they see me.
...Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended... go tell my brethren I ascend...
This is significant as it involves core post-resurrection guidance. Conflicting instructions—go to Galilee vs. focusing on ascension—undermine textual harmony. Muslims highlight these inconsistencies to challenge biblical preservation, contrasting it with the Quran’s unvarying and coherent instructions.
THE CHRISTIAN RESPONSE
Different contexts: Matthew speaks to the group about Galilee, John records personal instruction to Mary about his ascension. Both true but focusing on distinct moments.
THE ISLAMIC POSITION
Muslims argue divine revelation shouldn’t confuse followers with differing commands. Such discrepancies show human alteration. The Quran’s directives remain consistent.
