Contradictions Week 4: 1 Samuel 21:1-6 and Mark 2:23-28.

According to Bart Ehrman, “The Bible is filled with discrepancies, many of them irreconcilable contradictions.” Maybe you have run into a few of these discrepancies as you read the Bible yourself. In this series we will take a look at a few of these contradictions and see if they are able to be resolved and what these contradictions might have to teach us about God, the Bible, and our faith.

Starting on Sunday February 2 and running through March 2 the Veritas Community will seek to tackle 5 different seeming contradictions or discrepancies in the Bible. If you have ever wondered about seeming contradictions or discrepancies in the Bible and wanted a place to discuss them, we invite you to join us.

In week 4 of our series Contradictions we looked at 1 Samuel 21:1-6 and Mark 2:23-28. 1 Samuel 21 has the priest as Ahimelek while Jesus in Mark 2, while referring to the 1 Samuel 21 passage says the priest was Abiathar. So how do we reconcile this contradiction?

Take a listen and see how it might be reconciled if at all.
