CONTRADICTIONS: No, Matthew and Luke Accounts of an Angel Visiting Joseph and Mary Do Not Conflict

It’s the Christmas season when Christians around the world celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, the Messiah. That also means you may well hear or read biblical skeptics who claim the Gospels of Matthew and Luke contradict each other in their account(s) of Joseph and Mary being visited by an Angel concerning Jesus.

In the following 2:11 video from Inspiring Philosophy, it quickly becomes clear that Matthew and Luke are simply telling differing parts of Jesus’ birth narrative, with an angel visiting Mary to explain to her how she became pregnant , and on a different occasion an angel explains to Joseph why he should not divorce Mary.
