One thing and possibly the only thing the Bible contradicts—is those who look for and want to find contradictions in the Bible.
1Th 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
The Bible, not once, tells us to disprove anything.
I hope the Christian community will not be a party to this thread.

Well, why in the bloody world would something be written to instruct people to LOOK for thrice-cursed contradictions, especially when some of the said people want to control weaker-minded beings?
1Th 5:21 instructs believers to test all things; and I did, I tested the bible and it failed miserably. 1Th 5:21 also instructs one to hold on to that "which is good". Does this mean that subjects that fail the reality or believability test are "good"? Why would your god want his followers to believe that which doesn't pass the test?
A partial list of just a small portion of the contradictions:
Oh, the contradictions are there, lightwait, you, like most other Christians, just refuse to see them.
Well, it contradicts with the Deuteronomy and Leviticus, to say the least. Moreover, can you reconcile "God is love" and the image of the OT?. Admittance is the first step.
The bible contradicts itself (as per szenah 's post), as well as observable reality.
Anti-nonsense is 100% correct about "prove" meaning "test". Yet another example of why fundies need to be careful about using the KJV unless they actually know Early Modern English.backwards to make the Bible right.
Fundies say there are no discrepancies by definition , so they just pull far-fetched explanations out of the air and say "this must be true because the Bible is never wrong".
Even rational Christians will admit that the Bible contradicts itself in numerous places.
Luckily, it is these Christians whom we atheists can get along with, because, unlike Fundies, they try to emulate Jesus by being thoughtful and caring individuals instead of claiming to follow Jesus then slaughtering anyone different.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
