What contradictions are there in the Bible?

Question

I would honestly like to see people try and give me one specific verse where the Bible contradicts itself.

You can't do it.

I have yet to read anything in there that doesn't match up with anything else.

I guess if you're an atheist, and you really want to disprove something, if you look hard enough you can come up evidence to try to disprove anything.

So, where are the contradictions?

Answer 1

There are none.
Where there appears to be a contradiction in some cases can be logically explained.
People who list contradictions in the Bible do not know Greek or Hebrew, Jewish customs and laws or Jewish History.
They take the text out of context in order to create a pretext.
They do not even know the difference between the word 'hole' and the word 'whole', so I would say that there is always a hole in their whole arguement.

Answer 2

You really just want a fight but here you go...
On the sixth day, the Elohim (a plural word) said, "Let us make men in our image..." which they did and gave men care of the Earth. After a holiday, Yahweh Elohim (a specific dude) made the Garden of Eden and Adam and on it went. Either God made men twice (and the original men are not subject to the whims of Yahweh) or something ain't cuttin' the mustard. That is in the first chapters...it just keeps going. It was never meant to be taken literally and after hundreds of translations, you really can't take any version literally, especially the KJV. King James had one hell of an agenda when he had it translated.
This question is asked daily...search people please.

Answer 3

You will get many answers. If you sort through them they will all make sense to you and not contradict one another. That is because they are spiritually discerned and seem foolish to those who defy GOD. For example the first one is when GOD creates light and calls it day and night on day one. On day four he creates the stars and uses the sun for light and day and night. The Sun is not light. The sun is a source of light. The rest are just like that.

Shalom.

Answer 4

There aren't any contradictions; but there are many people who do not understand what they are reading; some because they do not follow the subject and the object, some because they do not understand Hebrew or Greek idioms, and others because of mistranslations whether they be accidental or a verse intentionally tampered with.
If you study in the original manuscripts, these verses that are mistranslated or tampered with, stand out like a sore thumb.

Answer 5

The Bible never contradicts itself.
Read the entire Bible first before making comments.
Pseudo Christians came to history for they did not study Hermeneutics, Homilitics and Pneumatic.

Answer 6

"God is not like men, who lie; He is not a human who changes his mind. Whatever he promises, he does; He speaks and it is done." - Numbers 23:19

"So the Lord changed his mind and did not bring on his people the disaster he threatened." - Exodus 32:14

Answer 7

Be careful, they are about to mis-quote scripture. They did it yesturday, so I opended up my good ol' KJV of the bible, and they had competly lied about what it said. So watch out, and anything they say, look in your bible first. They will mis-quote it.

Answer 8

For God so loved the world that he had his own son tortured and murdered so we wouldn´t need to make animal sacrifices in order to get into heaven.

Answer 9

None there. Only in the minds of those small enough to want to see something that is not there.

Here's a good place to start. Use it to combat all the misquotes and out of context verses you will be recieving from the atheists
