Answer 1

The Bible was originally written in Aramaic, then Hebrew, then Greek, then Latin, Italian and German at which point the printing press gave every language their interpretation of the Bible. The Bible was written well after the events it chronicles, so one persons interpretation is going to be different from anothers, it was kept as oral tradition initially , stores passed down orally. One scholars interpretation of a different language is going to be different. People forget or pad numbers easily in oral tradition, but not the stories. Remember each book of the Bible is written from a different Point of View.

Answer 2

You have manifested these errors.

Michal the daughter of Saul, had 5 sons that she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Moholthite. Michael had no sons or daughters of her own. You need to read 2 Samuel 21:8 again.

Also Asa King of Judah was reigning the 26th year and the 36th year.

You are teaching deceit and trying to deceive.

1 Chronicles 9:25 doesn't say anything about horse stalls but 2 Chronicles 9:25 does Some Greek manuscripts say 4000 and some say 40,000 so the number was probably miscopied but scholars agree to the larger number of 40,000
1 Kings 4:26 40,000 stalls of horses for his chariots & 12,000 horsemen

Arah's kids either Ezra or Nehemiah got the figure wrong, but for sure Arah had between 775 and 652 kids. In today's world that is close enough for government work. But what really happened has something to do with verse 5, "And my God put into mine heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy of them which came up "at the first, and found written therein." From the one time to the other time Arah's family increased by 123 members or children. More came back than were in that registry.

I'm not researching any more, because you are either ignorant of the Bible or you are just wicked and trying to deceive.

Answer 3

How did Judas die?
"And he cast down the pieces of silver into the temple and departed, and went out and hanged himself." (Matthew 27:5)
"And falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all of his bowels gushed out." (Acts 1:18)

=============================

If you want to believe there is a contradiction, then you have material for such.

However, why didn't Matthew and Luke (human author of Acts) co-ordinate their accounts? They should have exchanged their computer files!!

Unless, of course, they both are correct!!

Judas went out and hanged himself on the limb of a tree near a cliff. After some time, the limb broke and his body fell down over the side of the cliff.

Then 200 or 300 years later someone wrote a story and claimed it was by Judas.

===============================
===============================

2 Samuel 6:23 Therefore MICHAL the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.
2 Samuel 21:8 But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of MICHAL the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite.

NOT EVEN checking to find out the facts of the matter, but just maybe from what you said::

MICHAL the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.-- so she did not give birth to any children

the five sons of MICHAL the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel -- perhaps she was a step-mother or foster-mother; raised the sons for Adriel.

Answer 4

Your "evidence" is full of logical fallacies, which invalidates the "point" you think you are making.

For example, you compare "I Chronicles 9:25 says that Solomon had 4000 stalls for horses and chariots. I Kings 4:26 says that he had 40,000 stalls for horses."

Well, last time I checked, a horse is NOT the same thing as a horse and chariot. Thus, you are comparing apples to oranges and complaining that they aren't the same. Yep, they aren't. But being unaware of their differences doesn't prove your point. It only shows that you aren't very well read.

Good luck!

Answer 6

Here we have the typical display of throwing enough manure at the wall and hope something sticks. Each can be answered and resolved, but that is not what you want, you want to try to overwhelm people with so many that they cannot answer. If you were truly seeking knowledge, you would ask one at the time and we would answer precisely and Biblically. For you own research, you may check this sight:
http://contenderministries.org/discrepancies/contradictions.php
There are plenty of others to answer these supposed "contradictions". But, trust me on this, there isn't any passages that you listed that haven't be asked ad nauseum and answered.

Answer 7

Do you know the bible was written over a period of 1600 years by over 40 different writers from all walks of life. If just 10 people today were picked who were from the same place, born around the same time, spoke the same language, and made the same amount of money, and were asked to write on just one controversial subject, they would have trouble agreeing with each other. Yet the words from all these writers (in the bible)sound like they come from the same source. So even though 10 people today couldn't write on one controversial subject and agree, God picked 40 different people to write the bible and it stands the test of time.

Answer 8

Add this one to your list… Jesus taught to love your enemies but he’s going to deep-fry his.

Well actually that one is a contradiction plus hypocrisy.

Look there are contradictions on every page, thousands of ‘em in all. Bible is flawed like the ordinary men who wrote it.

Answer 9

Because that verse is a verse.. it does not mean that it was what happened. It has been written and rewritten so many times that no one knows whats true and what is Made up

Ahaziah was age 22, his dad died at age 40. Jehoahaz is Shallum. Jechoniah was king with the king except for 3 months. Saul's daughter had no children by David, but Saul gave her to another. Judas hanged himself, the noose broke, he fell, his bowels gushed out. In 2Kings and 1 & 2 Chronicles for compiling, all are captive but Jeremiah, where could any stability have been? Where were the books at this point?
1 & 2 Samuel and 1Kings, all of the life of Samuel, Saul and David, the conflict was terrible. If some one got it right, circumstances beyond control could have damaged it.
