Can you explain these contradictions for me please?

Question

FIRST: "Therefore Michal, the daughter of Saul, had no child unto the dayof her death".
II Samuel 6:23

"The five sons of Michal, the daughter of Saul."
II Samuel 21:8

SECOND:
" Abraham had two sons; one by a bonds-maid, the other by a free woman".

" By faith, Abraham when he was tried offered up Isaac... his only begotten son".

"And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth
hour; and he saith unto the Jews, behold your king... Shall I
crucify your king?"

FIFTH:
Now, after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee,
preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God.

After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of
Judea... and John was also baptizing Enon... for John was not yet
cast into prison.

- Judges 8:5

"Doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man hath long hair, it is a shame unto him?"

Hello! I'm a creationist, I DO believe in GOD but NOT the Bible.

Answer 1

No saine man can explain these contradiction, exept to admit that the bible is not the word of God.

Answer 2

Good luck with that one. Did you actually wade through and find all those, or are you just taking a poke at the creationists? I have to say my favorite is Sam writing about Michal and her 5 daughters and then Michal the childless one. Maybe 'ol Sam was into the vineger and gall cabinet by the time he got to 21.8

Answer 3

The Bible was written by man and not God plain and simple.

The Bible is based on truth, but it is not word for word true. See I can say things like during the storm in which Jesus walked on water over to his disciples who was writting down what was said. Remember they were in the middle of a storm.

The truth is simple no one was. It was written later, most likely that evening. Here comes the tricky part. Can you remember word for word what anybody tells you even 30 minutes after they said it? Most likely not. So they have to write down what they remember.

second point no 2 people will have the same story word for word.

Answer 4

They were written by different people at different times. In the year 325, a bunch of self-righteous men came together and voted on which books would be considered "official". The whole matter was a rush job because the guy who put the council together wanted a state religion quickly.

Answer 5

Try reading The Noble Quran (very nice english translation of the Koran). Then see if you find any such contradictions anywhere in it. I also recommend reading "Tafsir (Commentary by) Ibn Kathir). You can purchase these both online at http://dar-us-salam.com or read them online at: http://thenoblequran.com or http://tafsir.com (this website is often down)

Answer 6

yeah....
acording to the bible it took 7 days to make earth and all living things..
how does that explain dinosaurs being here 10 million years ago.

And if adam and eve were the only people on eart, doest that make us all the product of incest?

Answer 7

FIRST
She had no sons (left) (slight error in translation of verse II Sam 6:23) at the day of her death, because they had been killed..2 sons of Rizpah plus 5 sons of Michal equals 7

2Sa 21:8 But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite:
2Sa 21:9 And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the hill before the LORD: and they fell all seven together, and were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, in the beginning of barley harvest.

SECOND
Isaac (through his seed God promised) was the only begotten son of (promise) Abrahams with Sarah
other translations:
(ALT) By faith Abraham, being tested, had offered up Isaac, the one having received the promises was offering up his uniquely-begotten [son],
(ISV) By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered Isaac. The man who had received the promises was about to offer his unique son,

THIRD
slight error by translators of the translation you use
(BBE) They gave him wine mixed with bitter drink: and after tasting it, he took no more.
bitter meant a poison
(BBE) And they gave him wine mixed with myrrh; but he did not take it.
myrrh is a (poison) bitter

FOURTH
Here again your translation is at fault...this one (Analytical-Literal Translation) makes it quite clear..6am (Roman time) is earlier than 9 am
Mar 15:25 Now it was the third hour [i.e., 9:00 a.m.] when they crucified Him.

Joh 19:14 Now it was [the] preparation [day] of the Passover, and [it was] about the sixth hour [i.e. 6:00 a.m. Roman time or 12:00 noon Jewish time]. And he says to the Jews, "Look! Your* king!"

FIFTH
I don't see the contradiction here that you suppose???
Jesus was baptized in the Jordan in Judea after He left Galilee, and returned to Galilee after John was put in prison
Mar 1:9 And it happened in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and He was baptized by John in the Jordan

SIXTH
The first speaks of his dead brothers widow..the second speaks of adultery (brother isn't dead)

SEVENTH

Abraham was being a little tricky here..he didn't mean his literal sister; but, his spiritual sister. Having the same "Heavenly Father". Solomon said the same of his wife as I do of my co-heir to the promise of Christ.

Son 4:9 Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck.

EIGHTH
Indeed Samson's hair did become his shame

NINTH
TWO different guys with the same name

2Ki 8:24 And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.

1Ki 22:51 Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned two years over Israel.

MORE TO COME???
sorry that's all I'll answer. The trouble is not the scriptures; but, your unbelief.
