K, let's do these suckers one by one. I will be quoting from my translation of the scriptures.
Then Jesus said to them: “Have no fear! Go, report to my brothers, that they may go off into Gal′i‧lee; and there they will see me.” - Matt 28:10
And, look! I am sending forth upon YOU that which is promised by my Father. YOU, though, abide in the city until YOU become clothed with power from on high.” - Luke - 24:49
These two came from separate instances, days apart from each other. The first was what Jesus said to his disciples after seeing them together in Jerusalem, telling them to meet him in Galilee. The latter is what he said to them many days later right before his resurrection to Heaven. He was telling his disciples to wait in Jerusalem for an outpouring of Holy Spirit to come on them, which eventually occurred at Pentecost.
And in that very hour they rose and returned to Jerusalem, and they found the eleven and those with them assembled together - 33
While they were speaking of these things he himself stood in their midst [[and said to them: “May YOU have peace.”]] 37*But because they were terrified, and had become frightened, they were imagining they beheld a spirit. - Luke 24:36-37.
This was the second time Jesus had met some of his Disciples that day. The first time was when two were traveling away from Jerusalem and then the two traveling returned to tell the others, which is when this occurred. Soon after, the disciples went to Galilee (refer to Matt 28:10) and...
However, the eleven disciples went into Gal′i‧lee to the mountain where Jesus had arranged for them, 17*and when they saw him they did obeisance, but some doubted. - Matt 24: 26,17.
This happened. The two meetings were different instances at different times, not contradicting each other.
50*But he led them out as far as Beth′a‧ny, and he lifted up his hands and blessed them. 51*As he was blessing them he was parted from them and began to be borne up to heaven. - Luke 24:50-51.
9*And after he had said these things, while they were looking on, he was lifted up and a cloud caught him up from their vision.
12*Then they returned to Jerusalem from a mountain called the Mount of Olives, which is near Jerusalem, being a sabbath day’s journey away - Acts 1: 9,12.
These two places are virtually the same place. Bethany and The Mount of Olives are in the same vicinity and there are verses where both locations are referred as being near each other. Either way, his Heavenly resurrection occurred in the same location. Also, Luke and Acts were written by the same person.
So... no contradictions here, dude. If these so-called contradictions can be proven false, is there a chance the rest which you enjoy using might also be false? Food for thought.
