There is probably 20 posts a day in reference to supposed Bible contradictions. There are some minor contradictions such as one book may say a person bought a piece of land for $20 while the other book may say he bought the piece of land for $50. The Bible infalliable but not inerrant. Most of the contradictions proposed by the skeptics website posted above does in fact ignore some basic exegetical principles. The Bible though, CLEARLY NEVER contradicts itself theologically. I have had yet one person on Yahoo! Answers or anyone else discredit that statement.
UPDATE:
The above listed contradictions can be explained and more than one or not actual contradicts whatsoever (such the sign on the Cross, and who inticed David). And NEVER do they represent a possibly theological contradiction. Once again poor exegetical skills.

One must remember that the Bible was written by moral men and since that is the case there maybe some things that are screwed up a little. But the message of the Bible is clear and correct. Although I, personally, do not know the Bible that well.
And I don't think that makes me any less a Christian then anyone that does. And I must say that the Bible does have a lot of useless info that has little to do with day to day living. Do onto others as you would have them do unto you and you can not go wrong.

"We must remember that the Bible was written by approximately 40 different authors over a period of around 1500 years. Each writer wrote from a different perspective, to a different audience, for a different purpose. We should expect some differences!"
gotquestions.org
Ummm, I thought the Bible was the perfect, inspired word of God. We should expect NO differences, face it Christianity has its holes to say the very least.

I checked out the site provided. There may be a few valid points there but it would appear that in its attempt to discredit Christianity, basic principles of hermeneutics were ignored, and in some cases, deliberate falsehood were employed. Any Christian worth his salt would immediately see this.

One. It begins at the word "In" in Genesis 1 and ends at the word "Amen" in Revelation 22.

No contradictions in the Bible. In your brain, zillions of contradictions.
