Such as Jesus was the "Son of God" But he says "I and My Father are one" Which in itself is a contradiction.How about "Go ye therefore and baptize them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost"But then in the book of Acts they baptise in Jesus' name.I'm sure I could find a million more.

No, the bible is not full of contradiction.
The verse you mention is saying in context that they are in agreement. Like wise Jesus mentions the Apostles are also in agreement with him as well in a later verse.
The Holy Ghost is not a correct interpretation. Because, when people die, the bible says their thoughts perish, and dead people are conscious of nothing, Ghost is meant as a actually spirit being. Gods holy spirit is not a literal person. It is Gods force in which he accomplishes things of his will. So the apostle Paul is correct to say for persons to be baptize in Jesus name because it is Jesus that a person is approved in Gods eyes.

Oh I'm sure you could find millions.The Bible is for those who love the truth.Try using it to seek the truth and you will find it.Jesus is the Son of God and the whole of God is the Father Son and Holy Spirit. In this those who do not know God find a contradiction. If you seek the truth you wll find it. If you seek confilict and contadiction you are wasting your time.

I don't see any contradictions. "Son of God" is an anthropomorphism which is trying to describe the love relationship between the 1st person of the Godhead and the 2nd person of the Godhead. "I and the father are one" is not a contradiction. That's the doctrine of the trinity. Three persons in the Godhead, One God. What is the doctrine of the trinity? It says there is one God and 3 persons in the Godhead. This is not a logical contradiction. If I said there was only one person in the Godhead and yet at the same time 3 persons in the Godhead, that would be a contradiction. If I said there was only one God and yet 3 Gods, that would also be a contradiction. But one God and 3 persons in the Godhead is not a logical contradiction. It's certainly a mystery. I'll admit I don't understand it. We perceive things by comparing them to other things on earth. Since there is nothing to compare the Trinity to on earth, It is hard for us to understand. If I went out into the sahara desert and found a native there who had never been outside of the sahara and had no modern electronics like a radio or TV or computer and said to him " there's a beautiful water falls in america called the Niagra Falls", He might say "water falls, what's that"? But if I had a giant pitcher of water and I poured it out in front of him and said "that's what it is but only on a much larger scale", then he might understand because I was able to compare it to something else on earth to illustrate it to him. But, like I said, there is nothing on earth to compare the trinity so it is hard to understand. But just because we don't understand something, it doesn't logically follow that it isn't true. It just means we don't understand it. I don't understand how light could be in wave form and particle form at the same time. That just doesn't seem possible. Yet it is true. I don't understand how time could have physical properties but yet it does(gravity influences time). I can't picture what 6 or 8 dimensions would look like. There's a lot of things I don't understand(mostly in quantum physics) and yet they are true. If God is infinite and we are finite you would expect that there would be some things that we, with our finite minds would be unable to comprehend about an infinite being in our present state.
As far as baptizing in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and then baptizing in the name of Jesus in acts? It's called editing. It doesn't say in the book of acts that they baptized ONLY in the name of Jesus. When they wrote these books they cut out a lot of words so they wouldn't end up with the equivalent of 5,000 page books. Jesus told them to baptize in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. That's the last thing He said to them on earth in Mathew chapter 28. I'm sure they followed His instructions and baptized them in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. When they wrote about it in the book of acts they just said the baptism of Jesus to distinguish it from the baptism of John the Baptist but when they actually performed the baptism, I'm sure they did it just as Christ told them to.

Yes, there are a few interesting website that list most of them.
But remember, the Bible is a selection of ancient middle eastern tales and legends. It is not a science book.

Yes, it is full of contradictions. The Bible was created to control the masses...God is a fragment of people's imagination...why use God? Because people can't argue or attack something that is imaginary, like they can a person in power. The bible doesn't even have all the books, the Dead Sea scrolls have not even been published...the people who have them control history and don't want it to be changed for fear of people seeing the truth behind the lies.
Remember, the bible was created via MAN!

My Father is GREATER THAN I John 14:28
John 10:30 I and my Father are one..
This means they are one in purpose!,...(forget the doctrine of Trinity)..., if you truly read and understand the Bible you'll get the meaning of it...,have a look on the following verses
It is necessary to refer to John 17:11. Jesus, praying to God, says -- "Holy Father, keep through Thine Own Name those whom Thou hast given me, that they may be one, AS WE ARE...
"That they all may be one, as Thou Father art in me and I in Thee, that they also may be one in us, that the world may believe (v. 21).
"That they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and Thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one" (v. 22).
The meaning of the oneness, or unity, that Jesus had in mind, is very clear from this passage. It is the "unity of the Spirit" that must exist among true brethren (Eph. 4:3) -
"We are ALL ONE in Christ Jesus" (Gal. 3:28).
Surely no one who is familiar with this wording in John 17 would sincerely consider John 10:30 any proof of the Trinity or Jesus' pre-existence before he was born a helpless babe.
I hope you got it....,ignore the teaching of Roman Catholic for it may leads you to confusion and mistakes...,

I think people are full of misinterpretations rather than the Bible being full of contradictions.
