I'll look in2 this one later! There are No contradictions in the bible..only misunderstandings, misinterpretations, a lack of 'spiritual knowing' on the parts of readers and of course translatory errors..which arn't really that major, because God says He preserves his word..and He has done..the main message is kept simple, clear and intact!

If Jesus says, love thy enemy, and Moses says, kill them all, there is contradiction. If in one chapter they slaughter and kidnap to get wives, and later on they say that you can´t be yoked to an unbeliever, there is contradiction. If in one book they say that the curse of God can reach seven generations and that all people who suffer disgraces are punished by God and later on Jesus says that not one of the guys who died in the Temple were guilty of anything and in the Book of Job they sustain that thesis, man, THAT IS CONTRADICTION. There are misunderstandings, misinterpretaions, mistranslations...............yes, in the part of some of its writers, not its readers.
If in fact it were the word of god, then there would be no misunderstandings or misinterpretations. He would also have dictated it so that even the most common of people would understand it. That, to me is proof that your bible is, in fact not the word of any god.
If you've just decided that the Bible is without contradictions, you must come up with silly excuses such as a 'lack of spiritual knowing'.

On the first Easter morning, the visitors to the tomb were greeted by which of the following:Ebon Musings
that 'ebon musings' guy is just an asshole, he's not clever at all In other words, you can't refute the statement, so you're going to use ad hominem swear words.

You haven't done much intensive Bible study, have you, SpiritWarrior?difficult pieces of literature.
I'm sick and tired of hearing from fundies that the reason I don't see anything but a mishmash of nonsense in the Bible is because of either:TM of the Bible was so readily evident to anyone looking at it, there would be only one version of it and one religion of believers.
To me, this is yet more proof that pile of nonsense was written by very fallible men.

That's what happens when your buddies eat too many hallucinogenic mushrooms.
I'd say that Jesus himself is the biggest contradiction in the bible. Without him, it would be a seamless exposition of "Kill'em, Fuck'em, Enslave'em."
Proverbs 26: 4-5
Do not answer a fool according to his folly,
Answer a fool according to his folly,
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
