Answer 2

sorry quoting old and new testiment out of context does not mean mistacks but I will concentrat on this one
There is nothing unclean of itself.
- Romans 14:14

Nevertheless, these shall ye not eat, of them that chew the cud or of them that divide the cloven hoof; as the camel and the hare, and the coney; for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof, therefore they are unclean unto you. And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcass.
- Deuteronomy 14:7,8

deuteronomy was after Mosses took isreal out of egypt and God gave them many rules ( laws) to follow to keep them safe while they traveled through a new world. - Romans 14:14 is after Jesus' assention and the part in acts where petter is shown directly by God that he should not fear what he eats for God is his protectore.

again old a new testiment quotes proverbs probably from bethsheba solomans mom.
There shall no evil happen to the just.
- Proverbs 12:21

Whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
- Hebrews 12:6 a letter from paul to the hebrews telling them if the loves God they can expect him to guide them I am sure I could find a better translation

6because the Lord disciplines those he loves,
and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son

and14As one who is in the Lord Jesus, I am fully convinced that no food[a] is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for him it is uncle

Answer 3

Ok but that's not the point. most of the time you take a verse from the odl testament opposed to the new. But there had been drastic changes since the Old one. You should read the Bible in its whole instead of copy/paste these verses from other web sites (I'm sorry, I don't belive you actually picked theses verse from the Bible yourself!). You acnnot separate a verse from its context. They have a certain meaning in the book they're written but f they are isolated they mean nothing.

Once you write a verse about Jesus' power. It's true He had all power on earth but not "magic" powers! He can't heal people when they don't want to believe in Him, when they don't trust Him. he is God almighty but you won't be saved if you don't want to be saved. As for all the other verses, sorry but I've no time and not the knowledge to answer them all, if you want a really good answer, go and find a pastor, he shall help you understand what seem to you "contradictions". He'll explain all the stories from the old testament and everything. If you truly want the answer,ask someone who has got the knowledge...

Answer 4

You know, two can play the cut & paste game. You didn't even do your own original research -- you just parroted something that you got from somewhere else.

------------------------------...
Perhaps you have seen them -- those lists of alleged "Bible Contradictions".

They're frequently posted to mailing lists and other discussion forums, and various lists can be found on a number of web sites. Do they prove the Bible to be flawed? Do they present valid observations and arguments? And if so, what does that mean? ...

...The following is a good approach to take with those who post lists of contradictions:

Find out if the person is posting his own observations, or those of someone else. If it is someone else's material, ask whether the poster agrees with all the issues presented.

Rather than tackle a whole list in one sitting, deal with one issue at a time. Ask the poster to pick the first issue. Once you've discussed it, you pick the next issue.

Find out what you know about the issue. It may be tempting to simply cut-and-paste a ready answer, but it is better to first see how far you get on your own. There is, of course, no need to re-invent the wheel. But even if you end up quoting someone else's answer, you should have studied the issue yourself, and formed your own opinion.

At this point you may discover whether you have a serious discussion partner, or someone who is not interested in pursuing the issues. Either way, your efforts have not been in vain. You may have learned something yourself, and next time you will be better prepared to answer the objection. Too, you have demonstrated to the poster, as well as to those following the exchange, that alleged contradictions can be properly explained.

If the orginal poster enters into a serious discussion, you may want to continue the thread for a while. However, your object is not so much to convince him or her of your point of view, but merely to show that the alleged contradiction does have an explanation you, as a Christian, can live with. Remember, you get to pick the next issue. Present and deal with it as before.

If the orginal poster is unwilling to pursue the discussion, or rejects your answer without debating its merits, do pick an issue yourself. Present and deal with it. Others may pick up the discussion, but here too, even if they don't, you'll have demonstrated a willingness and ability to address the issues head-on.

In answering contradictions and other difficulties provide URLs and other references to the sources you use. This will help sincere inquirers to further investigate.

Answer 5

you're asking for a ton of information spanning the width and breadth of the bible, if you would ask just one or 2 at a time you're far more likely to get answers. a lot of these are taken out of context, or are taken out of completely different parts of the bible. some things were for the people of that time, like in the beginning with Adam and Eve or Noah and the flood, how could they populate the earth without marrying brothers and sisters? sometimes it was OK, and sometimes it was not depending on what law they were following, like how Christan's today don't eat kosher because that was the old law and Christs coming changed some things. if you care to make this more bite sized I'll answer a few w/citing and histories etc...

Answer 6

Ok .Im not going to go to everyone you mentioned because I can see your just looking to take something out of context

1)doesnt a preacher stand before a congregation and pray over the whole congregation . before giving a sermon

2) It was a nazarite vow in the old testament Duh, Paul is talking about people that didnt take a nazarite vow in the new testament duh...

You people are always taking things out of context , Did you know that the bible says "There is no god " but lets read it the way it really speaks , The fool says in his heart THERE IS NO GOD, and if you read it in its original it says The fool says in his heart No God, so to put it plainly Only a fool would say No to God

Answer 7

First explain to me this one from A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens... "It was the best of times,it was the worst of times..." (Do you see this also as a contradiction?)

Some aspects of the Bible are as this quote...seemingly contradictory to the casual reader, yet to the one with understanding (which Christ gives us), completely sensicle. For example, comparisons of the OT laws and the NT.

On the other hand, some contradictions are just misunderstanding of what is being taught. For example, I will answer the first one (and leave the rest for others)...God cares most about the motives of our hearts when we pray. Somolon did not pray as the hypocrites pray, seeking only worldly attention.....

Answer 8

That's no question, you're asking for a discourse! It would take a lot of time to respond to each of those, because obviously context matters, e.g. many of your examples have one scripture from the Old Testament and one from the New Testament - this matters because when Christ came he changed the law. You should post this in a bunch of different questions, you may get better responses. Good luck.

Answer 9

perhaps one at a time, but a litany? Sheesh. Several of these are comparing the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) to the New Testament... and there was a little matter of Christs time on earth that did change some stuff.....

Answer 10

Sometimes the differences/discrepancies are because of the books of the Bible in the Old and New Testament and the teachings of Christ as opposed to the teachings of followers/believers.
