Contradictions

The four gospels of the New Testament show hundreds of disagreements on the same incidents although the church says that they are God's word.

The Quran, God's word according to Islam, shows no internal disagreements or contradictions.

For the sake of argument and by handling one issue at a time, let us take what each side says as for granted. Which, to you, sounds more divine: the New Testament which includes hundreds of inter-gospel disagreements or the Quran which has no internal inconsistencies? Churchmen says that the gospel disagreements are due to differences in human reporting. But remember that the gospels are not human reports, as they claim. According to the Church, they are God's word and revelation. How can the gospels contradict one another if they are God's word? They cannot be God's word and human reports at the same time.

Which do you accept as God's pure word: the New Testament with its four contradictory gospels or the Quran with its invariable consistency?
