so what you are saying is that Satan caused people to make errors in the number of people who did something or their nationality in the Jesus stories. How exactly does that change the main messages of those stories?

The fact that there are some minor differences in the number of people, nationality, etc confirms that all of what is said in the Bible is true. These are all very minor issues. None of them changes the message of Jesus Christ.
Indeed, those small differences just mean that different people have written the texts. It confirms that they have the same source (as they all have the same message) but that they did not conspire to get every tiny detail to be the same (as they are some small differences).
Ask the police, when testimonies of people who have seen something are exactly the same, they will know you made a conspiration and told a lie. If one person says something, and another something just a tiny little bit different, it will confirm that they saw the same thing. We are just humans, our memory is only human. Never heard one people affirm that there were 4 people coming at a meeting, and the other affirming there were 5. Does that mean that one of them lies? Could be. But probably, one of them didn't remember it 100% properly. That doesn't change the fact that people did come at that meeting.

The Canaanite woman:
The woman was a Greek, born in Syrian Phonecia, "Canaanite" was a Semitic way of referring to a Phonecian.
Matthew's gospel was written for people of a primarily Jewish background. Mark's was written to Jews (and Gentiles) who had a more Greek background. So it makes sense that Matthew would use a colloquial term for a Gentile which his Jewsish readers would identify with.
The blind men:
Luke chose only to report the one blind man, since he was the one who was speaking. Luke in no way indicates that there was NOT another blind man with him.
Similarly, many of the discrepencies you outline only show how each gospel writer tried to emphasize certain aspects of an event, according to his point of view and purpose in writing.
The hour of Christ's crucifixion:
There is a difference between how the Jews reckoned the hours of the day, and the way the Romans did it. The start time of his crucifixion may be reckoned differently, depending on whether you mark it as the moment when Jesus was put on the cross, or as the moment when Pilate gave the order that he be crucified. Mark, Luke , and John all seem to use a different method to arrive at that time, and again, it fits in with their purpose of writing, and the cultural backgorund of their intended recipients.
I'll look at one more:
Judas and the potter's field: Judas bought the field indirectly; the money he returned to the priests was used to purchase the field. The priests said they could not accept the money because it was "blood money." So if THEY actually made the purchase, legally the field still belonged to Judas, since it was actually HIS money. So to say that JUDAS bought the field is not incorrect. It was HIS money. Again, background and context are everything.
You have too many sciptures here to refute point for point - but these supposed "contradictions" are easily explained if we look at the historical background and culture, and consider who each gospel writer was writing to, and depending on which aspect of an event he wished to emphasize.
If all these supposed "contradictions" discredit the bible absolutely, don't you think the original Christians would have changed them in the first place?
There are explanations to all the other points you make, but I really don't feel like doing all your research for you. Lock yourself in a library some week, and explore these things on your own - you'll be amazed.
Ciao, Jack

#74 - For what lie is it that perhaps a woman, Greek of decent, Syrophonecian by birth, but of Canaanite residence, should seek Jesus? For I am Cherokee of decent, Californian by birth, yet Kentuckian by residence and seek Jesus. No difference.
#75 - Possibly one blind man began speaking first, then the other chimed in later on in the conversation, having understood what was going on.
#76 - 1.) By whose reckoning? Roman, Grecian, Jewish, or Aramaic? After all... my day starts at 4am, whereas my kids' starts at 7am. The 7th hour of the day for me and my kids are different. or 2.) They began to crucify him at the 3rd hour, and the tortures and humiliation didn't come to a head until the 6th.
#77 - The two thieves initially made fun of Christ, but as some time went on, only one continued to do so.
#78 - Is there harm in believing Satan may affect a person twice? Surely you've sinned more than once in your life...
#79 - Is there harm in believing that Judas hung himself near a cliff first, and then the rope broke, and the resulting fall did all the bodily damage?
#80 - Ever hear of "pay for your crimes"? It was purchased with "the reward of iniquity"... it was purchased with the blood money Judas received and gave back to the Pharisees... he 'paid for' the lands with his crime.
#81 Just because one is mentioned, it does not mean she is the only one. We might hear how great Dale Earnhart did at the races 'till we know the story inside and out, but we often forget the people who helped make it happen. We have heard about Neil Armstrong 'til the point where he's legend, but there were three or four other people with him on the spacecraft.
Just because one person writes half the story, and one person the other half, does not negate the whole.

It is not that the Bible is filled with lies, but because it was written a very long time ago and that it has been translated a numerous amount of times which causes all the stories to take a different shape. The word of God is the truth, there is no doubt about that. Have you ever heard of the game "Telephone" in which one sentence is passed down from ear to ear and how the sentence has become short, long, words change, etc. Now, it is the same with the Bible! God Bless!

I think lies is a bit strong. contradictions and errors sure, but what you demonstrate here wouldn't constitute lies.
The problem is that the Bible that practically all of Christianity uses was compiled much later than the events it depicts. Each of the Gospels in the classic Bible were written around 100 years after the death of Jesus. After 100 years, I don't expect my memory will be all that accurate on the details.
The value of the Bible to a christian is not in its historical accuracy, but in the pattern and meaning it gives to his/her life.
There is a saying about straining at a gnat while swallowing a camel. I think the way you approach this question is very similar to this phrase. if you want to take issue with the Bible, go for the big stuff. Minutiae won't hold much with any believer, and I'd dare say that many non-believers would argue that your question lacks any serious challenge to the fundamentals of Christianity.

Let me ask u a question. have u ever witnessed an event with so many other people. when u ask them later, do u get exactly the same story from them all. of course not. the gospels were eye witness accounts of the life of Jesus, and the truth is that not all of the accounts were written by the very eye witnesses themselves. some of them wrote retrospectively... for instance it is said that Marks' gospel was the apostle Peter's narration of the life of Jesus. Luke was not even part of the inner circle, he was a physician who lived at that time. the first 3 gospels are a synopsis of Jesus' life.
the other thing is that the things you have pointed out as lies may be inconsistencies in stories and no one knows why but u have not faulted the core truth of God's word. that 2 women went to the tomb or one woman went has no power to change your life, its just a story but "Love the LORD your God with all your heart..." what problem do u have with that. "do good to those who hurt u..." do u have a problem with that? "love your neighbour as you would yourself...", do u have problems with that. focus on the principles of God's word and not on stories. if it was judas or the priests who bought the field, all we know is that someone bought the field but that knowledge has no power to change your life but this does ... "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that who ever would believe in Him would not perish but have everlasting life... John 3vs16" and this also..."truly truly i say unto you except a man be born again, he will not see the kingdom of God"... these are more important issues than the ones you have raised. think about them and not on the distractions that people raise to keep us from the truth. have a good day

Oh gosh another one.
1) Learn to spell (Or figure out spell check)
2) Rants don't count as a question.
3) There is no comparison to the Bible. Period.
4) Isn't this lie thing getting old?
If you spend that much time reading and trying to find lies in the Bible how do you have time for the Koran????
Seems to me you are a little lost and looking for someone to give you an answer.
Jesus IS the answer.

1) The woman was from Tyre and Sidon, which is in the region of Canaan or Syrophoenician, she was Greek by race. Like saying "he comes from Chicago and is hispanish"
2)Read the first 5 verses of the Gospel of Luke. In it, Luke says that he interviewed the people involved before including their stories in his gospel. As Luke was unable to interview the second blind man (he may have died - since the interview was about 30-35 years later), he did not include deatails on that man. Whether a second man was also healed at the same time does not invalidate the healing of the first. Just Luke being truthful to his promise
3) When talking to Pilate the Roman govenor, it says Jesus was on trial on the sixth hour (no crucified- read again), as the Roman clock (like ours) runs from midnight to midnight. When talking with the Jews leaders, it says he was put on the cross at the third hour of the morning - with their clock running from sunrise to sunset. That would be 9AM on our clock He was on trail at 6AM and crucified at 9AM (by our clock)
4) Both theives initilly reveiled - but one repented and changed in Luke
5) Disciples are in the upper room, and Jesus predicts his betrayal and hands Judas a morsel of food - satan enter him and he leaves. Then they ate. John does not say satan enter Judas during supper, it says he enter after Judas had received a piece of bread from Jesus - never says he ate it either.
6) Judas hung himself, and then the branch broke and his body fell and burst open. So correct that he hung himself and correct that he burst open. Both happened
7) The Priest brought the field with Judas' money in his name. So both are correct
8) several women went, but only Mary from that group 1)went to the tomb,2)ran to the disciples and told them, 3)returned, and 4)saw Jesus. So it is correct that she is the only one who did all 4 things

Whoever you are, if you look at something with closed eyes and anger, you will not see what is meant to be seen. The reason one book differs from another is because they were written by different people. The details may be mildly different, but the core of the verse always remains the same. There is your truth. Muslim, Jew, Satanist, whoever.
