Bart Ehrman said that the gospels sometimes contradict each other. In the charts, for example, Jesus family goes to Egypt. That’s according to Matthew. According to Luke, no Egypt. They go to Jerusalem and Galilee. Both cannot be true. Same for the map of Jerusalem : we don’t know where all the locations mentioned in the Bible were. The city was destroyed in 70, and rebuilt after the Bar Kochba uprising. its inhabitants were banished, the city rebuilt as a roman city. So, nobody remembered where were Gethsemani garden or Golgotha were. They were « miraculously » rediscovered in the 4th century. So the chart is cherry picking, which is not honest.

@Spearca no. There are contradictions in the Gospels. Either Joseph and his family go to Egypt before settling in Nazareth, or they are in Jerusalem and then Nazareth. They cannot be in both places at the same time. That is why trying to reconstruct Jesus life is impossible : you have to choose which gospel » tells the truth »and discard the other one. Hence « cherry picking ».’’

@Spearca Matthew and Luke say that it is « at the same time ».! Read the text! Matthew says that the family flee to Egypt, when they come back in Judaea, Herod is dead, but his son is the king. So they settle in Galilee. For Luke, they go to Jerusalem, and go back straight to Nazareth. The way it is written, It cannot be both. Read it for yourself.
