Really how does the Bible Contradict itself or are you trying to say that God's wrong? 2 Timothy 3:16 16All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,..... 2 Peter 1:20-21 20Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. 21For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

The Bible never contradicts itself. People who say that may have read the Bible but they have not actually studied it.

The biggest of all. The 'Ten Commandments', generally number 6, depending on which version you take :
Thou shalt not kill
These 'Commandments' were supposedly given to Moses by Jehovah, on Mt. Sinai, during the 40 years of wandering in the wilderness by the 'Children of Israel'. The first set got broken, and Moses had to make a copy, which he obviously took fairly seriously.
However, just a few years later, upon entering the Land of Canaan, Jehovah instructed the said 'Children' to slaughter everything, every man, woman and child, even the cattle, sheep and goats in some cases. These exhortations to bloodletting are mostly found in Deuteronomy, with too many examples to quote them all. try this for a starter :
Deuteronomy 2:34
" At that time we took all his towns and completely destroyed them - men, women children. We left no survivors.
This was the pattern for an invasion of previously peaceful lands, with large populations, and the 'Children of Israel' marched in and slaughtered the lot.
Nice.

In all due respect, James, first we have to discuss what is scripture, and also, who made those statements.
The book 2 Timothy is a letter written by Paul, someone who claimed to have received revelation from Jesus(peace be upon him), yet contradicted Jesus in many of his teachings:
Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven. [Matthew 5:17]
Yet paul comes later and states that people do not need to follow the law.
Many early church fathers did not consider the New Testament to be "scripture" yet only considered the Old Testament to be "scrip ture". Most of the Bible consists ofaccounts by people of incidents that happened, not words revealed by God.

I have never read the bible,but i hear about 50,000 error in it,if God is the one who really wrote that bible between our hands today,then it wouldn't have any contradictions,but it is not God who wrote it,it is some men who claims to be inspired while there is no proof that they were.
003.078 And lo! there is a party of them who distort the Scripture with their tongues, that ye may think that what they say is from the Scripture, when it is not from the Scripture. And they say: It is from Allah, when it is not from Allah; and they speak a lie concerning Allah knowingly.
002.079 Therefore woe be unto those who write the Scripture with their hands and then say, "This is from Allah," that they may purchase a small gain therewith. Woe unto them for that their hands have written, and woe unto them for that they earn thereby. (QURAN)

The last words/moments of Christ before he died:-
Matthew 27:46
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
Luke 23:46
And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.
John 19:30
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
They can't all be right - only one account - if that - can be correct... a three-way contradiction.
Don't just give me a thumbs down... explain how all three versions can be correct... how can Jesus's life possibly have ended in three different ways? did he die three times? Or could it just possibly be that at least TWO accounts are WRONG and all three contradict each other.

Good question :O) I have studied the Bible since 1996 and I have found no contradictions. Before I became a Christian I tried and tried to find just one and could not. Jehovah God would never lie to us, and he loves us. Jesus said God's word is truth.
