Interesting is when people say something like "There are NO contradictions, show me just one!" But actually there are contradictions on every page, there are thousands. And those bible worshipers have to work hard to try to reconcile the mess. They're intellectually dishonest just like the Romans who made their bible.

I think it would be interesting to post one contradiction at a time and have a discussion on each one.
I can tell you I have been a Christian for 7 years - I am a college graduate and I have studied the bible closely all of that time. I have not found a contradiction in all of my years of study.

The Bible does not have contradictions. The problem is that people don't know how to study the Bible. The Bible is written to three classes of people. God first dealt with all people alike. Genesis Chapter 1 Thu Chapter 11. Then in Genesis Chapter 12 God makes a covenant with Abraham and Thu his seed come the Nation of Israel and God deals with them until they kill their king and they fall. Genesis Chapter 12 to Acts Chapter 9. In Acts Chapter 9 God calls the apostle Paul and send him to preach the gospel of the grace of God to all people and reveals to him the mysteries that have been hid in God before the foundation of the world. Roman Thu Philemon are the books written by Paul to the body of Christ (the church) when God deals with the church.
Hebrews Thru Revelation deals with doctrine after the church has been taken off the earth. So if you rightly divide the Word of truth there are no contradiction in the Bible. 2 Timothy 2: 7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things. 2 Timothy 2: 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

The bible is not for unbelievers who aren't followers of Jesus (aka Christ). The bible for a Christian is a handbook for the follower of Christ. It is the the word that God has given us that was inspired by the Holy Spirit (Father-God, Son-Jesus, and Holy Spirit-given to believers when accepting Jesus with salvation) and written down by man(who were also believers in Jesus). Which again if your not a Christian probably doesn't make sense. I suggest doing a little research for yourself and finding it out. It's good to question and just listen to what your heart tells you. Good luck and I hope I could help. If your have any more questions e-mail me. I'll be glad to help.

Because like everone else there are a lot of lazy christians who have never read the bible.
In fact there was a good 1000 years or so when no one was allowed to read the bible except the clergy.

What "endless contradictions" are you talking about? Would you care to give us a few examples?

most christians believe that the bible is the 'word of god' and that it was inspired by god. fact is the writers of the bible are just men . . just like you and i . . . if you read in revelation 19:13 you will find that the name of jesus christ is 'the word of god'. so in effect the true word of god is jesus christ himself. most christians refuse to accept this truth.
sorry 'bout that but this is the true fact. that is why they refuse to believe that there are any contradictions.
however, when two men disagree, they seem as contradictions. if god truly wrote the bible there would no errors of any kind. plain and simple.
person . . and bond . . . please tell me when was jesus christ crucified according to the gospels - every one of them - oh and could you tell me more details about the resurrection of jesus - according to the gospels you will find disagreements - matthew states one thing and mark states another . . . go figure.

The 'contradictions' are a result of the unlearned attempting to make sense of something they know nothing about.
