How many contradictions in Bible found as yet?

Answer 1

Read the Context

9 Often, apparent inconsistencies can be resolved if we just look at the context. Consider, for example, the often-raised problem about Cain’s wife. At Genesis 4:1, 2 we read: “In time [Eve] gave birth to Cain and said: ‘I have produced a man with the aid of Jehovah.’ Later she again gave birth, to his brother Abel.” As is well known, Cain killed Abel; but after that, we read that Cain had a wife and children. (Genesis 4:17) If Adam and Eve had only two sons, where did Cain find his wife?

10 The solution lies in the fact that Adam and Eve had more than two children. According to the context, they had a large family. At Genesis 5:3 we read that Adam became father to another son named Seth and then, in the following verse, we read: “He became father to sons and daughters.” (Genesis 5:4) So Cain could have married one of his sisters or even one of his nieces. At that early stage of human history, when mankind was so close to perfection, such a marriage evidently did not pose the risks for the children of the union that it would today.

11 Our considering the context also helps us to understand what some have claimed is a disagreement between the apostle Paul and James. At Ephesians 2:8, 9, Paul says that Christians are saved by faith, not by works. He says: “You have been saved through faith . . . not owing to works.” James, however, insists on the importance of works. He writes: “As the body without spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.” (James 2:26) How can these two statements be reconciled?

12 Considering the context of Paul’s words, we find that one statement complements the other. The apostle Paul is referring to the efforts of the Jews to keep the Mosaic Law. They believed that if they kept the Law in all its details, they would be righteous. Paul pointed out that this was impossible. We can never become righteous—and thus deserve salvation—by our own works, for we are inherently sinful. We can only be saved by faith in Jesus’ ransom sacrifice.—Romans 5:18.

13 James, however, adds the vital point that faith in itself is valueless if not supported by actions. A person who claims to have faith in Jesus should prove it by what he does. An inactive faith is a dead faith and will not lead to salvation.

Sometimes the Bible writers wrote about the same event from different viewpoints, or they presented their accounts in different ways. When these differences are taken into consideration, further apparent contradictions are easy to resolve

Answer 2

There are no contradictions in God's Word. If one properly uses their reading and comprehension skills,they can see that many accounts in the Bible were written from different perspectives. For example, the Four Gospels were written by 4 different men in their own words. Of course,there are going to be a few variances,but that doesn't make one account contradictory to the other 3 accounts. They were each writing what they saw as pertinent,and what facts one may have ommitted was written by another so that we would have the complete and detailed description as to what happened.
As to other so-called contradictions in the Bible,once again,if one uses their reading and comprehension skills,they will find that whatever may seem to be a contradiction in one part of the Bible is clearly explained in another part of the Bible. You have to read the whole Word of God to understand it all,and you have to know which scriptures pertain to others to make it a whole truth.

Answer 3

I love the contradicitins that people find in God's breathed words. I find it amusing that if a person reads carefully and with anopen mind they willsee that there are different versions of the same event but thay all have the same meaning. If we truly srudy the word of OGd ans do not just try to read it as a book we can learn so much more and have a closer relationship with God and Jesus Christ I hope this helps

Answer 4

Take your question to a Biblical Apologist. That's what they do for a living, answer questions for people who think they have found a contradiction.
If you are a language expert, then you already know what most alleged discrepancies really are. People can not read.

Answer 5

Leviticus 11:13-19 13 ‘And those you shall regard as an abomination between the birds; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, the vulture, the buzzard, 14 the kite, and the falcon after its style; 15 each raven after its style, sixteen the ostrich, the quick-eared owl, the sea gull, and the hawk after its style; 17 the little owl, the fisher owl, and the screech owl; 18 the white owl, the jackdaw, and the carrion vulture; 19 the stork, the heron after its style, the hoopoe, and the bat. Bats are birds? Eagles are abominations? How could you purchase this crap?

Answer 6

None. Any so called contratictions are found only in the hearts of those who read God's word and refuse to accept it and obey it. If something in the bible goes agains a persons sinful lifestyle, they automatically call it a contratiction. All contradictions are found in the hear of the reader that rejects the true word of God in it's entirety.

Psalms 119:6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments

2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

To rightly divide is to fully understand God's word as it is written and not try to interpret it. God's word is not open to interpretation but full understanding.

Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Answer 7

Like the contradiction that things fall down but not up.

Answer 8

That's a good question for Muhammad Ali. He is actually keeping track.

Answer 9

As a Christian I pay no mind to the old Jewish mythological made up story's of the old testament. they mean nothing to me at all, I only learn and trust in what Jesus said.

Answer 10

To many to count. Thats what happens when you abridge stories from older cultures and rewrite them as your own.
