Biblical Prayer Contradictions

[Godscreated]

If I point to OT vs NT contradictions, you'll say Jesus came to abolish the law, and if I point to verses that contradict gods omniscience, you can always stretch your interpretation as metaphorical; let's instead focus on the factual contradictions between the gospels alone then

I've picked a few that I consider most clearly contradictory and could not otherwise be assigned to simple error:

15) Matthew 2:15, 19 & 21-23 The infant Christ was taken into Egypt.  Luke 2:22 & 39 The infant Christ was NOT taken to Egypt.

Luke did not record the time in Egypt, that in no way means it didn't happen. Many stories have been written about Pearl Harbor and my uncles ship was not mentioned, even though it became one of the most sought after ship by the Japanese to destroy. Just because his sip wasn't mentioned in most stories doesn't mean it wasn't there. mark and John do not record the childhood of Christ at all, so I guess you believe He must have not grown up or we have a new contradiction.

18) What was the nationality of the woman who besought Jesus?  Matthew 15:22  "And behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, Have mercy on me, 0 Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil."  Mark 7:26 "The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation, and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter."

The woman was a Greek just as Mark said, Matthew only gave the location from where she came. There was a ------- that live in the U.S. and he came out of the U.S. into Canada, what nationality was he.

21) Can one pray in public?  (Matthew 6:5-6) Jesus condemned public prayer.  (1 Timothy 2:8)  Paul encouraged public prayer.

Jesus taught His disciples to pray in public, yes in front of other people, Jesus himself did so. Jesus taught people in public to pray for other even their enemies and He didn't tell them not to pray before others. In Matthew 6:5-15, Jesus was teaching them not to pray with vanity, even when they pray in private. Jesus wanted those who were serious about their relationship with God to pray not just in public but also in private where it is quite and one can concentrate on what they are doing. In this same set of verses Jesus taught the Lord's prayer which is a public prayer. Jesus never said we could not pray in public. The only thing Jesus condemns in the verses you quoted was those who pray with vanity.
