Is the Bible a book of contradictions?

Question

Why or why not?

Answer 1

It's not only a book a contradictions, it has been cut and snipped and used to lie to people.

Answer 2

On the contrary, the Bible is not full of contradictions. The Bible simply shows us how we as humans contradict divine law. I know many people would argue this but any scripture someone can come up with falls into a category of examples of things to do and not to do. When those situations are looked upon as something not to do then there is no contradiction. The Bible is The Holy Book which shows us the error of human ways since the beginning. Last but not least, don't just take my word for it, read the Bible and find out for yourselves.

Answer 3

The Bible is not a book of contradictions. The Holy Bible is the infallable, inspired word of God. Although man wrote the Bible, it is God-breathed. God gave godly men the words to write in the Bible. The Bible can be trusted because there are thousands of manuscripts and it is the most reliable historic book of any book out there.

Answer 4

There are no contradictions in the Bible. The Bible contradicts many religions and denominations.

Granted there are seeming contradictions. Like God said thou shall not kill and then ordered the Hebrews
to kill the Armies of Canan.

When we pull out our Strong's Concordance , we see the correct translation is Murder.

In my studies of 30 years , I have found no contradictions in this divine book of 36 authors over 2500 years.

Most of the people who cry contradiction. have a very small knowledge of it's content.

Answer 5

No. I think the Bible has a purpose! It may seem like it but it is all about studying it and not interpreting what is not there. I use a Concordance, basically a way of understanding certain words and their different meanings in different parts of the Bible and it is just eye opening! Before I started using this method, I doubted the Bible and was confused. Don't get me wrong, I know all I need is Jesus. But I still wanted some knowledge. This really helped. The Bible is (to me) a book of knowledge for us in life, and to be understood as to what was and what is to come.

Answer 6

The Bible has contradictions, but that doesn't mean it is "a book of contradictions." The Bible is a collection of writings over hundreds of years, by many different people. However, that doesn't mean it doesn't contain Truth and meaning.

Answer 7

It isn't full of contradictions... Many of the "contradictions" occur in the gospels, where we have four authors writing from different perspectives. Perspective changes everything. None of the "contradictions" I have seen could not be explained by a difference in perspective or something similar.

Answer 9

There are plenty of contradictions and other errors in the Bible.

Answer 10

No it is not. Just like Paul says, not by works lest any man should boast. Peter says faith without works is dead. Seem like a contradiction? It isn't.

What Peter said compliments Paul by adding that once you have the faith, works should show your faith: Like by taking care of widows and the orphans.

Peter isn't saying you also have to have works to be saved, because you don't. He just means that works should be an outward manifestation of your faith.

There are many other examples but this will suffice
