Let's for instance take this last contradiction that you say many will be cast aside those who come to him will not be cast aside, well, you know that it is the condition of the heart of the person that approaches him. People who think themselves righteous and approach Christ like Nancy Pelosi who have a form of godliness but deny the power. Will be turned away but anybody who comes to him with a humble heart who truly seeks repentance will be accepted
Nice list, you can't take short verses you have to take the whole entire text in context don't forget he's talking to different groups. In certain other passages. That's why the Bible takes a lifetime of study
Another task is to attempt a layout of when Jesus appeared to people and where:
I got plenty more...
Jesus is omnipotent and he can appear to many people at once.
Where in the Bible does it say this?
Those are different words, making a different sentence with a different meaning.
Hey good list!
Here's another,
Ask and it shall be given. Seek and you will find. Knock and it will be opened to you. Mt.7:7,8; Lk.11:9,10.
Ask and you shall be refused. Seek and you won't find. Knock and you will be refused entrance. Lk.13:24-27.
Repentance is necessary. Acts 3:19; Lu.3:3.
Repentance is not necessary. Rom.11:29.
Non-believers obtain mercy. Rom.11:32.
Only believers obtain mercy. Jn.3:36; Rom.14:23.
Only baptized believers obtain mercy. Mk.16:16.
Mercy cannot be predetermined. Rom.9:18.
All who call on the "Lord" will be saved. Rom.10:13; Acts 2:21.
Only those predestined will be saved. Acts 13:48; Eph.1:4,5; 2 Thes.2:13; Acts 2:47.
Jesus said he would not cast aside any that come to him. Jn.6:37.
Jesus said that many that come to him will be cast aside. Mt.7:21-23.

Show me where it's out of context, the statements stand on their own. Either everyone that comes to him is accepted or they're not, no gray area.
John 6:37 says everyone.
Matthew 7:23 says NOT everyone.
Shouldn't truth be truth, why does it matter who he is speaking to, unless its propaganda, then you tailor your speech.
You just can't make statements and claim them as truth, because thats what you want to be true. Sorry.
People been trying to rid themselves of the Bible for eons and no one's ever come close. It's the anvil in which the hammers wear down.
Hindus, Buddhists, Taoists, Sikhism, ect., ect. seem to be doing a pretty good job at ridding themselves of the Bible.
