People say there are contradictions in the Bible and that is why they do not believe. Yet anyone I pose this question to is NEVER able to provide with me a verse. So unless you can tell me where I dont buy it.

There are those who make a study of the scriptures, not to gain knowledge or become closer to God, but to find fault and belittle. (See Matthew 23:13)
Since I know that the Bible is the word of God, if I come across what seems to be a contradiction, I will make a further study to enhance my understanding. Those who are not searching for the knowledge of God will not do this. In fact, when you point out their error,(such as 2 persons with the same name, an event reported from separate vantage points and other such matters) their response is still disbelief. It is a waste of time trying to reason with them. (see Matthew 7:6) I am including a quotation as an example.

In giving his Credo of an agnostic in Look magazine, November 3, 1953, Bertrand Russell listed among his reasons for being an agnostic the Bible’s contradictions, claiming that in one place the Bible forbids a childless widow to marry her husband’s brother and in another place commanded it. In this article he did not give any Scriptural citations. However, in his book Human Society in Ethics and Politics, he does cite the two texts, Leviticus 20:21 and Deuteronomy 25:5. And how do they read? “Where a man takes his brother’s wife, it is something abhorrent. It is the nakedness of his brother that he has laid bare. They should become childless.” “In case brothers should dwell together and one of them has died without his having a son, the wife of the dead one should not become a strange man’s outside. Her brother-in-law should go to her and he must take her as his wife and perform brother-in-law marriage with her.” (New World Trans.) It does not take much learning to appreciate that these two texts refer to entirely different situations, the one to adultery and the other to the law of levirate marriage, which applied only in the event of a married man’s dying before he had any offspring. It is all very simple, but apparently not to a learned university professor, scientist and philosopher of more than eighty years,

There are no contradictions in the "be conscious of GOD", which will properly be discovered, in the Bible. yet: there ought to be to YOU, while you're no longer Born-returned AND crammed with The Spirit. See, the be conscious of GOD in the Bible is "non secular" First. while you're no longer Born-returned, then you definitely can study the Bible and benefit adequate innovations to Get Born-returned. you additionally can get know-how and archives and know-how too! GOD stated HE could supply those issues to all and assorted who asked. Now, after the Diciples Believed in Jesus, Jesus had to Open the Scriptures as much as them. See? GOD has to open HIS be conscious (Scriptures)as much as YOU, so as which you would be able to understand what he's asserting. GOD has secrets and strategies and HE basically dosen't supply them out to basically all and assorted. you ought to Earn the superb to be responsive to Them. (learn how to teach your self authorized). once you %. up the Bible and carry "The be conscious of GOD" on your hands, you fairly particularly (me Too!) do no longer understand what your preserving.

Hello,

Be careful what you wish for... you may get it.

I am Christian by the way but atheists and others are not wrong in some of their points or questions just because they are atheists. The whole Christian church has split into more than 350 denominations just over this issue as well as what verses really say.

Cheers,

Michael

they are all weak contradictions.

example, one might say 1700 yrs, another might say 1710 yrs, they claim that 10 yr difference makes it not true.

or words are defined or translated wrong through Hebrew, Greek, Latin, English and they use those basis to say there are contradictions.

All of them I've seen are easily disproved if you look at the scripture surounding it.
