Answer 2

The Bible has many seeming contradictions within its pages. For example, the four Gospels give four differing accounts as to what was written on the sign that hung on the cross. Matthew said, “This is Jesus the King of the Jews” (27:37). However, Mark contradicts that with “The King of the Jews” (15:26). Luke says something different: “This is the King of the Jews” (23:38), and John maintains that the sign said “Jesus of Nazareth the King of the Jews” (19:19).

Those who are looking for contradictions may therefore say, “See—the Bible is full of mistakes!” and choose to reject it entirely as being untrustworthy. However, those who trust God have no problem harmonizing the Gospels. There is no contradiction if the sign simply said, “This is Jesus of Nazareth the King of the Jews.”

The godly base their confidence on two truths: 1) “all Scripture is given by inspiration of God” (2 Timothy 3:16); and 2) an elementary rule of Scripture is that God has deliberately included seeming contradictions in His Word to “snare” the proud. He has “hidden” things from the “wise and prudent” and “revealed them to babes” (Luke 10:21), purposely choosing foolish things to confound the wise (1 Corinthians 1:27).

Answer 3

There are few glaring contradictions in the Bible that come to mind.

One is the two completely different geneologies that are given for Jesus. One in Matthew 1:6-16 and another in Luke 3:23-31.

Then there are two different accounts of how Judus died.
In Matt. 27:5 Judus hangs himself while in Acts 1:18 it is stated he takes a fall and his guts burst out (gross I know).

Also who killed Goliath?
One place says David which is generally the known version.
I Samuel 17:23, 50
the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name...David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone and struck the Philistine and killed him.

But here is says some guy called Elhanan killed Goliath:
II Samuel 21:19
And there was again war with the Philistines at Gob; and Elhanan the son of Joareoregim, the Bethlehemite, slew Goliath the Gittite.

There are some websites you can find that list more.

Answer 4

http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/ has hundreds of them, although most are fairly minor.

What is often neglected are the contradiction with reality, rather than simply internal contradictions. Snakes and donkeys don't talk, men don't rise from the dead or walk on water, and pigs don't commit mass suicide - you know, that sort of thing. It really doesn't matter if the Bible were completely internally consistent if it still had this sort of thing in it.

Answer 5

There are too many to just list here. I recommend going to the Skeptic's Annotated Bible.

Answer 6

God loves us wholely and unconditionally, so much he sent his only begotten son here to die for our sins. But perhaps one doesnt feel the same about the heavenly father, and never accepts him as such. So we would be sent to hell for all eternity to burn.

Tell me if you created a child, or many children, and professed to love/care for them wholely and unconditionally, would you condemn them in such a horrible way if they didnt love you back, or even hated you? Or would you continue loving them regardless of what they offered you, if anything, in return?

Answer 7

Revelation

"The hundred and forty and four thousand ... which were not defiled with women"
Are the 144,000 men that are "not defiled by women" homosexuals? Are only gay men to be saved? 14:1-4
