Does the Bible contradicts itself ? Please list some examples:?

No the Bible does not contradict itself.  There are those who do not want to believe in what the Bible says, so they will take a verse and read it out of context and then interpret it to mean something it does not.  These people are foolish, and when you actually read and study the Bible you will truly see that God does and will not ever contradict Himself.

Interesting how so many people quote a different part of the bible without dealing with the fact that there is a clear contradictino here.\n\nTHis guy posted a verse that says basically, ask and you shall receive. Not "I'll think about it", but you shall receive.  And you all quote verses saying "not so fast".  Well, which is it? Can we move mountains with faith? Only if it's for a good cause? What?

You answered your own question.  God would never contradict Himself, therefore, the book could not have come from Him.\n\nIt is a good rule to compare things said to be of God with the Bible.  If they don't agree 100% with the Bible, then they are not from God.

If you are thinking of trying to spot a contradiction, then you will be disappointed. The Bible did not say that Judas committed suicide in two different ways. It clearly says in Matthew that he hung himself. Acts simply recorded that he fell headfirst and his stomach was cut opened by the fall. You only call it a contradiction when the two accounts are impossible to reconcile. But it is perfectly plausible that he hung himself from a tree near a cliff or ravine and the branch upon which he was hanging later broke off. Unless you are saying that this scenario is impossible you do not have a contradiction to rave about.

I posted a question a while back on discrepancies in the bible.  It was not an attacking question, not rude, not, IMHO, offensive.  It was a question.  It basically stated that I had read somewhere that every verse in the bible was directly contradicted elsewhere and I asked whether it was true and where I might find documentation if so. \n\nThe question was deleted.\n\nThe moral of the story is, hide in a corner and don't do anything to offend anyone.  Don't do anything anyone disagrees with.  Wait, some people might be offended if you hide in a corner.  Just kill yourself.  Oh, no, Christians are morally outraged at suicide (although not at murder of an unborn child, drug addiction, murder in the name of 'patriotism' or 'for God' or as punishment for crime....) so better not kill yourself.  Um.....I guess just stand around and try not to breathe anyone else's air and no one will get mad, report you, ask for your questions to be removed.....whatever.

Here's my list of some more "inconsistencies":\n\nhttp://www.ethicalatheist.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=104

Depending on how you interpret it, yes, the Bible can prove itself wrong, just as much as it can prove itself right.\n\nNo, the Bible didn't say don't believe anything I say. \n\nNo, you don't have to take every word of the Bible literally. So you don't have to be uptight about a "self-centered" God (as you interpreted it rather unjustly), nor to try to be like God in perfection (otherwise, you don't really need the Bible).\n\nThere's no point to asking your question if nothing exists in this world. I suggest you don't get stuck with that notion in your head. THIS WORLD IS FOR YOU TO LIVE IN. NOT FOR HEAVEN NOR FOR HELL, BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD THAT IS IN YOU ALL ALONG. \n\nYou found God that was staring at Satan in the face because that was the god you were looking for, thanks to hardboiled, religious fanatics out there who are just as stuck up as their religious/non-religious counterparts. Keep searching. Peace.

There are loads of contradictions in the Bible. Maybe if the church let us see all the books of the Bible. Including the stuff they rejected for the final canonical version of the bible we would understand fully the religion.

An excellent list. And there isn't a christian that can deny the utter stupidity of the bible when presented with these outright contradictions.\nI mean, how can a "perfect" being's manifesto be so chock full of mistakes?

Probably! To the bible everything is wrong if your not a true believer and follow everyone of there stupid rules!\n\nP.S. don't care if ya'll hate the answer! Because that's what i've learned trying to be friends with christians! See how far it got me?

Actually, I think it would be quite difficult to "understand" the Bible as each concept that is presented is contradicted by another.  It's hard to understand a book that has no clear message.

We have discussed this, and I think it is unfair for you to cut off the topic by saying the Bible is wrong and don't say this and don't say that. There is only one answer that you will be satisfied with.\n\nThe Bible is not a book of science. The Bible is a book of redemption and eternity. Science is tied and bound to the limitations of physical time-space and can venture no further. The Bible steps beyond where science cannot venture.

that is fine except for the tiny fact it contradicts everything written before it. Before Jesus you will find no place in the bible that says that the Law is ever to be fulfilled.

The bible is 99% pure, however there still exist copyist errors which you most definitely have pointed out.  The first is a numbering copyist error and the second, one of the daughters is actually Merab.  However the christian faith does not rest on tiny pieces of data like these examples.  All of the questionable material of the bible has absolutely no impact on the doctrine of Christianity--they are all very minute details such as the ones you have pointed out.  The other 'supposed' contradictions out there commit several logical fallacies such as quoting out of context and juxtaposition, and do not look at hebrew or greek colloquialisms

Yes, there are numerous contradictions. Especially if you try to reconstruct the life of Jesus. The biggest contradictions exist between John on one hand and the three others on the other hand. But even between Luke, Marc and Matthew there are great contradictions.\nSome examples: the final stay in Jerusalem. Did Judas hang himself or did he threw himself out from a cliff? Who attended the crucifiction and who was at the open grave? etc. etc.

The contradictions mentioned in the Skeptics Bible cover many categories. Many are superficial 'contradictions' that can be explained pretty easily. Some take more research to figure out, but still have explainations. Some are tough to reconcile   with just internal information, but can be figured out with archeological or other 'external' helps.\n\nOnce you clear out the 'dross', there are still some good, challenging contradictions left that have befuddled true believers for centuries- often covered up as mysteries or otherwise ignored.\n\nHowever- *I* am not going to help you find them! You can find them yourself if you are really interested- THEN we have some great debates here!

hmmmm, this will be good!!\n\nFor: GINEVRA1WEASLEY, how is he pulling things of contexts when it's from your very own Bible? 32 (Bible) Scholars couldn't get it right and I doubt that you'll be able to get it right..
