What Day was Jesus Crucified?

Ok, I´ll give you two examples, one from Old Testament and one from New Testament.
First one is about Great flood, Genesis, with a few differences in the same story what can be explained by understanding that this story was combined from two versions written from two traditions, Yahwistic and Elohistic.
26. Noah did / did not take two of every animal into the ark.
27. Noah took fourteen / two of every clean beast. [H, 387]
GEN 6:18, ... you and your sons, your wife and your son's wives, shall go into the ark. 19 Of all other living creatures you shall bring two into the ark, one male and one female, that you may keep them alive with you. (NAB)
GEN 7:2, Of every clean animal, take with you seven pairs, a male and its mate; and of the unclean animals, one pair, a male and its mate. (NAB)
GEN 7:8, Of the clean animals, of the animals that are not clean, of the birds, and of everything that creeps on the ground, 9 two of each, male and female, came to Noah into the ark, as God had commanded Noah. (TAN)
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]GEN 7:15, Pairs of all creatures in which there was the breath of life entered the ark with Noah. 16 Those that entered were male and female, and of all species they came, .... (NAB)[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]You are reading the Bible without knowledge. . .not a good thing.[/FONT]

The clean animals were for sacrifice. Only clean animals could be offered for sacrifice.
31. The flood lasted
40 / 150days. [H, 415]
GEN 7:17, And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.
The flood issued forth for 40 days, from the heavens and from the deep.
--------------------------------
GEN 7:24, And the waters prevailed upon the earth
an hundred and fifty days.
This is really lame. . .it took 150 days for the water to go down.
Another example, NT. How many woman came to the sepulchre?
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]472. One / two / three / more than three [/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]women came to the sepulchre. [/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif][B, 81-82; H, 391][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]JOH 20:1 The first day of the week cometh [/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Mary Magdalene[/FONT] [FONT=Arial, sans-serif]early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif][[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]NOTE[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]: Compare to John 20:2, "Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and [/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]we[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif] know not where they have laid him." (emphasis mine) - p.b.][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]----------------------------------[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]MAT 28:1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came [/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Mary Magdalene and the other Mary[/FONT] [FONT=Arial, sans-serif]to see the sepulchre.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]----------------------------------[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]MAR 16:1 And when the sabbath was past, [/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif],[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]and Salome[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif], had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]----------------------------------[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]LUK 24:10 It was [/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women [/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.[/FONT]

Again, errors, discrepancies and doublets do not deny divine inspiration, that is only due to a human factor.
You assume facts not in evidence. . .the text does not say everyone went at the same time.
Mary Magdalene went by herself first, then ran to tell Peter, and then brought others back with her.

Unless you can show contradiction, you are reading the Bible without knowledge. . .not a good thing. . .and certainly not the way to understand it correctly.

These are all so lame. . .do you have any material discrepancies, as in contradictory teaching, etc.?

OK, you can do that, that´s called harmonising discrepancies. I have no problem with that and do not intend to argue. Obviously we have two different standing points, you as a believer in inerrancy of the Bible and I taking literary criticism as a starting point. Have a nice day :)
