CONTRADICTION · RESURRECTION
Time of Women’s Visit
In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary...
And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
This matter, though seemingly minor, affects overall trust in the Gospel accounts. Inconsistent details about the tomb visit raise doubts about the Bible’s precision. For Muslims, pointing out these minor but real contradictions supports the argument that the Bible isn’t flawlessly preserved, while the Quran’s perfect consistency underscores its divine purity.
THE CHRISTIAN RESPONSE
They claim 'dawn' and 'early morning' describe the same general timeframe, reflecting minor differences in perspective rather than true contradictions.
THE ISLAMIC POSITION
Muslims note even small discrepancies cast doubt on inerrancy. If the Bible is divinely preserved, why differ on simple details like timing? The Quran avoids such conflicts, indicating its pure preservation.
