Here is mine.
From these the coastland peoples spread. These are the sons of Japheth in their lands, each with his own language, by their families, in their nations ... These are the sons of Ham, by their families, their languages, their lands, and their nations ... These are the sons of Shem, by their families, their languages, their lands, and their nations." (Genesis 10:5, 20, 31)
"Now the whole earth had one language and few words. And as men migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there." (Genesis 11:1)

Well, there's way too many passages for me to quote off the top of my head or to list were I to look them up. But what I love the most in contradictions, is the commandment "Thou shalt not kill", but all through the Old Testament, that's all people ever did.
Killed animals, killed women and children, each other, enemies, people who lived in lands they went into and conquered. Very bloody Testament, that one. Never could get how God's followers in the OT could kill like that(on God's orders at times, no less), yet be commanded by that same God that they shouldn't kill at all.
Or I could bring up the business of Moses, how God ordered Moses to ask Pharaoh to let the Israelites go, to which Pharaoh supposedly agreed to, then God turns around and "hardens Pharaoh's heart" against the idea. That never made sense to me, for God to want his people to be set free, then go and prevent it by making Pharaoh change his mind against it.
Two of my favorites at least. I'm sure there's more, but those are two I can recall off the top of my head.

The contradiction exactly fall on the OldTestament's teaching against many inconsistencies with the New Testament. New Testament teachers insist on Jesus as Divine Son of God and oftentimes identified as the same God with the God of the Jews.
The four Apostles could not be relied as to who had the exact report about the ressurection of Jesus. The stupid answer I have been receiving is that each apostle has reported the incident in a different time on a different situation to a different audience meaning everything they wrote was from hearsay. All the Prophets of the Old Testaments may vary in the way they wrote their messages but everyone talks of the same message from God meaning they were directly in contact with God while the apostles were purely using divination they called divine inspirations. Isaiah 14 saw the truth about the one pretending to sit on the highest assembly of God as the one that was cast out of his tomb. An incident that said the corpse of a deceiver being stolen from his tomb. Isaiah 14: 19 This is a man they call Lucifer (Morning Star) mistaken for Satan. Read the whole chapter and you will find that the Morning Star is a man and not Satan. Then read Rev. 22: 16 and see who claims to be the Morning Star.

It is impossible to give an answer to a question for something that does not exist. IF you actually took time to study the Bible, there are no real contradictions.

2 Samuel 24:1, and 1 Chronicles 21:1
In one version, God moves David to take a census of the people, and in the other, Satan moves him to take the census. What's funny is that in both versions, God gets mad at David for taking the census.

LoL You're gonna get alot of hateful replies from those who vehemently refuse self-analysis. I don't know the scripture, but mine is the "Repent, and ye shall be saved" It gives "I'm sorry" as the one thing to be done in order to get into heaven. But turns and then says, "accept me, as god before all gods, and ye shall live..." seems like too many are willing to pick and choose thier virtues in order to justify anything they do. Strikes me, that actually REGRETTING one's shortcomings/"sins" is glancingly, if mentioned at all.

The resurrection of Christ. No resurrection = no christianity. But the 4 gospel accounts contradict with no resolution, even if you stretch logic like a pretzel.

This really gets me...
The Bible doesn't contradict itself when interpreted properly. My beliefs have no contradictions in them. It's only false Christianity that has to contend with contradictions, because they place a higher value on man-made traditions than on the Bible.

My favorite contradiction? There are three sets of the ten commandments in the bible, all different from each other.

There aren't any. Just some that seem to. Further study shows that the Bible explains it elsewhere.
