can you plaese name me some some major contradictions in the bible?

Question

please name some contradictions in the bible, I think i have discovered all of them, but if u find any let me know

Answer 1

Only those that don't know HOW to understand the word of God find contradictions.

Answer 2

By careful examination, seeming contradictions can be shown to have an honest solution. All too often, people who claim that the Bible contradicts itself have not made a thorough investigation themselves, but they merely accept this opinion that is thrust upon them by those who do not wish to believe the Bible or be governed by it. “When anyone is replying to a matter before he hears it, that is foolishness on his part and a humiliation,” cautions the Bible at Proverbs 18:13.

This is a quote from noted historian Will Durant concerning the gospels: “The contradictions are of minutiae [trivial details], not substance; in essentials the synoptic gospels agree remarkably well, and form a consistent portrait of Christ.”

Answer 3

The Bible isn't just one thing that contradicts itself. It's a series of books by different authors that was put together and called a Bible (which means collection of books). If there are contradictions, you can't really blame the Bible because it didn't exist at the time the various books in it were written. Men wrote the books, men are not perfect, and those who translated the writings many years later were also not perfect. MANY mistakes were made, but that doesn't change the fact that the Bible is wonderful and testifies of Christ.

Answer 4

Uh, a pretty big one is the fact that there are THREE separate, distinct sets of last words attributed to Jesus ( http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/contra/lastwords.html ), in these three passages:

Matthew 27:46
Luke 23:46
John 19:30

Unless your list of discovered contradictions is over 300, you haven't found them all. ;) Check my source for a really good list.

Answer 5

Why are so many people obsessed with Biblical contradictions? The Bible is full of outright falsehoods, including the central premises (existence of Gods, life after death, etc.). Trivial contradictions don't seem to matter in that light.

Answer 6

Did you ever think that maybe you think they are contradicitons, and the truth is, you don't completely understand what they are saying?
What 'contradicitions' do you think the Bible has? Point them out and discuss them. Because God has an explanation for and reason for everything He says, and does!

Answer 7

wow, the whole book is one big contradiction, everything related to time is wrong, the entire "genesis" is all wrong, the "ark" thing is totally preposterous, imaculate conception? rising from the dead? why does jesus body disappear, yet human bodies are left to rot in the casket?
one of my favorites is how god is so loving and perfect and created man in his image, yet the human is so flawed, birth defects, cancers, and what about Neaderthals, and cro-magnons etc. were these "god do overs"? he didn't get it quit right, but when he made homo sapiens, he was satisfied?
like i said, the whole book is a contradiction,

Answer 8

The contradictions are in your mind and heart from your lack of understanding.
