Since I'm limited to 1000 characters Im not going to list every shred of proof we have of this fact. If you're interested please read "The Case for Christ" by Lee Strobel.
I'm more concerned with the growing number of people that have been dupted into this lie that the Bible contradicts itself and has been "proven false." Nothing is farther from the truth. Not everything in the Bible has been proven, but a great deal has been proven. The Bible has NEVER been proven false. 100% of the contradictions I've ever been presented with have all turned out to have an explanation with even a very shallow bit of study.
You can't just read the Bible and expect to understand everything right away like a simple science book. You have to dig deeper. When you come accross something that appears to be a flaw. Recognize that something is out of place and study it a bit. You'll find that the fault was in your own understanding of the verses not in the book itself.

Amen! Yes thank you! Lee Strobel is great by the way!
There are no mistakes. All of the Bible is the truth. God used human beings to physically pen the biblical text. But remember God is the author, they are His words. The Bible is inspired by God. The Old Testament was originally written in Hebrew. The New Testament was originally written in Greek (with a few portions in aramaic). Learn those languages so you can read it for yourself in it's original. Check out some good commentaries (NIV Application commentary, Anchor Bible Commentary, New International Commentary on the New Testament (also one on OT), New International Greek Testament Commentary). You will see there are no contradictions.
The Bible is inerrant and infallible. Inerrant means it is incapable of having errors, and infallible means incapable of being false. So this means that God protected the Bible while it was being translated to other languages and other translations.
When scribes were copying the biblical text they would count how many words were in each book, in each page, and in each sentence. They knew which word would be exactly the middle of the book/page/sentence. If their text did not match up they threw it away and started over. So they were extremely careful and meticulous in their work.

I guess you haven't read the Bible, which exhorts you not to believe every spirit, but rather try (test drive) both law and grace, to know which one of these two spirits is the "spirit of error" and "antichrist": anti-the end of the law.
I guess you don't find "I will forsake you" to be any contradiction to "I will never leave thee nor forsake thee".
As for Lee Strobel, his roots are law law, whether as athiest or believer in Jesus: new "high" priest of law law God on "high" in plural divided "heavens". Pst - "Christ" ascended "far above the heavens" to appear to God in heaven: higher than the heavens.
The simple case for "Christ": the end of the law, is "Christ": the Saviour of the world, is thereby the end of law imputed sin and death followed by hell, for the world that God so loved, not hated. To wit: that God was in Christ reconciling the world, not alienating the world. And that God hath given us the word of reconciliation: grace, not the word of alienation: law. Be ye "reconciled" unto God(Grace), not alientated by law law.
Dear willingly ignorant person, what makes the Bible the Holy Bible, and not a Holy Holy Bible, is the end, which ends with Grace only; saved(only) by grace(only). Perhaps you've read the NIV which leaves out the grace us end in Revelation 22:21.
Perhaps thereby you've become sow dog law law, as noted in 2Peter 2:22, that you'd not think it preposterous order to teach first and learn after. The Bible says scriptures were written aforetime for our "learning". The Bible also says it is not plural and contrary scriptures which are inspired of God, but rather the singular "script-u-are", more specifically grace of law vs grace.
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.
