Notwithstanding the differences of the various denomination’s interpretation of
these verses they even differ in the basic birth date for Jesus, with the orthodoxy
celebrating on the 7th of January whereas the Catholics celebrate it on the 25 th of
December.
It is well know that December coincides with winter in the middle-east so how could
the shepherd be in the fields. There would have been no grass for their sheep to
graze.
The only explanation is one that strengthens the Quranic narrative that Jesus was
born during the summer months, and the shepherds were not grazing during the
winter.

[Maryam Verse 25]
From among the great contradictions in the Bible:
Compare the two quotations. How many chariot riders did David slay? Seven
hundred or seven thousand? And further, did he slay 40000 "HORSEMEN" or 40000
"FOOTMEN?" The implication in the con>licting records between 2 Samuel 10:18
and 1 Chronicles 19:18 is not only that God could not discern the difference between
hundreds and thousands, but that He could not even distinguish "CAVALRY" from
"INFANTRY!" It is obvious that blasphemy masquerades in the Christian dictionary
as "inspiration!" 700 or 7 000?
It is certainly naught for Bible-lovers' comfort that a whole naught (0) was either
added to 700, or subtracted from 7 000, thus making the confused Biblical
Mathematics even more confounded!
II SAMUEL 10
- And the Syrians >led before Israel; and David slew the men of seven hundred
chariots of the Syrians, and forty thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the
captain of their host, who died there.
I CHRONICLES 19
- But the Syrians >led before Israel: and David slew of the Syrians seven
thousandmen which fought in chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed
Shophach the captain of the host.
What does this prove, that it was not from Allah almighty nor was or is it befitting
for something like this to be attributed to Him. The examples are endless in this
regard of these types of numerical contradictions, this is one of many more.
