OH PLEASE. Someone gives you an answer based on the skeptics bible website. Boy that is an unbiased opinion. People read into it what they want. They look for errors.

There are NO so-called contradictions in the bible that cannot be explained.

Brother, those who would like to look for contradictions will always find because the evil spirit leads and he is a liar, hater of good ,a deceiver ,...etc.. I am not saying you are but if you are looking for the sake of proving the Word of God as being contradictory, then satan will make you find plenty to your destruction... for one, God's word is to be accepted as FAITH ( Heb 11 : 1 ) . Those without faith will always find excuses to accuse God's word because isn't that one of satan's characters... the great accuser ? God's 10 Commandments say : thou shall not falsely accuse your neighbour... even God ! You see, an eye for an eye was allowed by God for that time for his purpose but for this time, turn the other cheek, for his own reason. This does not make God contradictory... He had Israel for him as His chosen, but for now, he extends to the whole human race for his own reasons... but this does not make God contradicting himself... You see brother, I don't have my bible which was marked with the verses you require right now... If you will want , I will provide for you after this weekend because I only use the internet for the school I am teaching in... But you see, the word od God is truth... if anyone says that it is conyrdictory, then truth now becomes a lie and God is not a liar. Satan is the father of liars and in Rev 22 : outside the city ( new earth ) are liars... Paul wrote to one of the churches : STUDY ( BIBLE ) to show yourself approved unto GOD (not man because man may not approve of truth at times ) a workman that need not be ashamed , rightly dividing the WORD OF TRUTH ( BIBLE --- GOD'S WORD ). Jesus says : I'm the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE... and God's word is from eternity to eternity.. it never changes... therefore it does not contradict itself... In the New Testament : TEST the SPIRIT as to whether it be of God... otherwise it is satan's !! To test the spirit you have to STUDY with the help of God's Holy Spirit ( John 16 : 13 ). This is the Spirit of TRUTH who leads us to ALL TRUTH and shows us THINGS TO COME ( PROPHECIES ).I believe a big factor in the Bible seeming to contradict itself is that PEOPLE INTERPRETATE IT DIFFERENTLY. You see, the Holy Spirit alone can lead to the right interpretations.. John 16 : 13. Apart from that, all other interpretations are lies and their source is satan the father of liars. In REVELATION : if you add to this book , I ( GOD ) will add the plagues mentioned but if you take away anything from this book, I will take away your name from the book of life... very serious , isn't it brother ? Lastly, only the fool says in his heart there is no God ! Brother, I invite you to join the SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH.. study and prove it to yourself that this is the church God uses in these last days to spread His TRUTH for the world to prepare for Jesus' soon return .. Would you like to come with me ?.. God Bless You..

How about in Creation story 1, God creates Adam, Adam has no suitable partner, God puts him to sleep, extracts a rib and builds him a woman.
In Story 2, God creates man and woman together at the same time.

What are you talking about, who are you talking to. You should be more specific. Personally, I do not find the bible to contradict it self. God bless
