During my debate with Shabir Ally over the topic “The New Testament Picture of Jesus: Is it Accurate?” Dr. Ally made a number of claims about the Bible being irreconcilably contradictory and, therefore, not being God’s Word. He argued that the genealogy in Matthew 1 was inaccurate because it left out three names and had the wrong number of names listed; that the accounts of Christ’s resurrection in Matthew 28 and John 20 were hopelessly confused; that Luke’s Gospel taught that Christ ascended to heaven the same day He rose, whole Acts taught that Christ only ascended forty days later; and that the accounts of the conversion of Saul of Tarsus in Acts 9, 22, and 26 disagreed with each other.
As part of the three-part series of review videos on the debate, I examined these claims by Dr. Ally and found them wanting. You can watch the review video below:

I understand why this took a long time to be put online. The production values are excellent and the editing obviously took quite a while. Thanks for this brother. I use your materials regularly and thank God for you.
Thank you for the encouragement, may they be a blessing to the saints of God, a conviction to the lost, and reflect honor on the God who has revealed Himself in Scripture and reconciled us in Christ.
