how many times does the bible contradict itself in comparison of old testament and newtestament?

Question

when i asked this question i was thinking of one specific verse which says THEY shall Learn WAR NO MORE, in the book of reveletion.
However, It is also written that the LORD or some group of people in the eternity of heaven have weapons of warfare

Answer 1

yes there are many, but you have to forgive the copyists. They have been doing this since moses time.
But here are some:
Gen 6:6-7 & Rom 11:29: does God repent or not?
Gen 22:1 & James 1:13 does God tempt man?
Job 1:1 & Rom 3:23 Can Job be a perfect?
It's not just the old to the new. The new isn;t correct with itself.
Acts 9:7 & Acts 22:9 did Paul's companions hear God or not?
1 John 4:2-3 & Mark 1:23-24 Do demons testify of Christ or not?
This is the best that came from the many collecting and translating of writings over the years.

Answer 2

Even if it happens one time only, it is too many. No matter how the Bible is analyzed, it is flawed. Translators had complete discretion over content. If a story wasn’t complete, multiple stories were woven together to become one. Pieces were moved around and put together like a puzzle. When any turn of a phrase seemed to even slightly disagree with the Church, it was removed in its entirety. We now know that scrolls of material intended for inclusion were hidden to avoid its destruction. Codices, carbon dated to the correct time, have slowly been discovered. They are always the cause of great debate. The New Testament, was written two centuries after Christ was crucified! Before the Bible was let loose to commoners, powerful people simply raped it. When one controls the religion of a people, they then control those people.

Answer 3

I believe that your question is flawed. You should rather ask yourself the question: "How many times does the Bible 'seem' to contradict itself in comparison of the Old Testament and New Testament."

What is most often thought to be a "contradiction" of Holy Scripture, is merely, a "seeming contradiction."

Some people are all too often apt to view "seeming contradictions" in the Scriptures, not realizing that all the facts are not available to us "modern day" people. The facts have been covered over by layers of sand and civilizations.

Try not to think in "contradictions" but rather, "paradoxes." For instance, God is a God of love, but hates sin. That is not a contradiction. That is a paradox.

When one puts on a "theological thinking cap," these seeming contradictions can easily be explained by thinking paradoxically and, by correctly interpreting the Scriptures in a "hermeneutic fashion."

Answer 4

I don't think there were contradictions when the apostles and prophets and others wrote the bible, back in the days of Constantine when he wanted Christianity, people had to make copies by hand, could you get all of your copies of all of the bible if you were copying it down by hand? And the buddy next to you as well? I'm sure they got tired sometimes and dozed off and then started back up again missing a word or two. I know God doesn't make mistakes and a contradiction is a mistake, people make mistakes.

Answer 5

None.

There are misunderstandings that vary and some people may digest it differently than others. Contradictions would have been noticed by someone before the year 2007, if there were any real contradictions.

That is why some people actually feel negative about the Bible, if you can believe that.

Answer 6

The reason why we shouldn't trust in man but to pray about the truth.

Answer 7

There are many "supposed" contradictions, but no provable contradictions. Every supposed contradiction can be disproven.

Answer 8

ALOT! The bibile is rife with contradictions as well as murder, rape, genocide, mysoginy, prejudice, and a whole host of other generally nasty things. This link could prove very informative to you.
