(Acts 13:39) All sins can be forgiven.
(Mark 3:29) Cursing or blaspheming the Holy Spirit is unforgivable.
If those are words of God how come He contradicts Himself?
Ofcourse there are thousand of contradictions in the Bible but lets just focus on one.
Can you Christians explain to me how God is not contradicting Himself?
NOTE:
I have not studied the Bible thoroughly and I am not going to.
I am taking it out of context.
There you go. Don't bother telling me to study the Bible or I am reading out of context.
If already knew the answer I wouldn't be asking you Christians to help would I?
Give me your best shot in explaining just one contradiction without trying to avoid my question or comment on my grammar or something.

Because the christian religion is ridiculous ! The bible wasn't meant to be taken word for word. I think Christians are uneducated people and if they did their history they would understand that the Bible was written hundred of years after Christ, and that The churches wanted money so they piled tell people that they were going to hell . Yet they are closed minded and most seem to be hypocrites !

In order to receive forgiveness you must be repentant of your sins. By blaspheming the Holy Spirit you are saying you are not repentant of your sins and that you do not need to answer to God. This lifestyle is unforgivable because that individual does not want forgiveness.
Please tell me the other contradictions so I can explain the validity of the Bible to you.

First of all, there are no contidicitions in the King James bible. Its the most accurate translation into english that we have.
Secondly, If you believe in Jesus, you have the golden ticket to heaven.
Your second posted scripture, Mark 3:29, is for the unbelievers. Cursing God and going to the grave with that attitude.
If you believe in Jesus, why would you curse God? Its impossible.
Despite jessanautumns post, the bible SHOULD be taken literally. It is Gods word. Its not a mystery.
And I would also challenge jessanautumn to a test to see who is less educated.

Since you know you are taking it out of context what do you want to hear.
So think of it this way next time you tell someone you want to go and have something to eat and then go and then when you see the same person and then say to them you want to go and not eat for a few days is that contradicting yourself or not.
Those who do not want to believe in God will do anything possible to try to make Him not be real but all it does is rises more questions and one day everyone will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord

Acts 13:39 is speaking of people who are already believers in Christ, who has forgiven all their sins.
Mark 3:29 and Matthew 12:31-32 are speaking about those who claim that Jesus performed miracles by the power of Satan.
These people obviously do not believe that Jesus performed miracles by the power of God.

Only with the knowledge that one is rebelling against God one acts , that act becomes a sin . To truly know Holy Spirit one must have knowledge of Jesus Christ...........So this admonishing is for those who have accepted Jesus as their Savior and at a later date they deny Him.
1Peter 2:21---gives an insight to this

You have taken it out of context haven't you. Here is what the verse actually says : and by Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
It doesn't even say that all sins are forgivable. So this verse doesn't even contradict.

All sins can be forgiven, if we repent and are prepard to accept God's forgiveness and Christ as our saviour.
But if we are saying that the works of God are the works of satan (As the people Jesus was talking about, were doing in Mark 3:22). Then we are not going to accept God's offer of forgiveness. We can not therefore be forgiven, not because God wont forgive us, but because we will not accept His forgiveness.

Blaspheming the Holy Spirit is not a sin, it is a choice to reject the truth and follow the spirit of confusion.

For a sinner to be forgiven he would at they very least have to renounce siinfulness, be forgiving to himself before seeking it from the highest power. In this instance, he would no longer have need to seek forgivness at all, as the above act absolves itself. Yes at a time when th ecollective human soul is in varying degrees of helplessness and angst, it woul d be gravely unwise to launch an attack on the faithful...

Ok . Thats a toughie. I guess its because not only one person write the complete bible. Therefore diferent people have different interpretations of what they have been told. therfore whoever wrote the two things may have just thought of it in a different way. Because like the bible isnt writen word for word what has been done. It has also bee changed and modified heaps of times.
