Here is a link which will interest you to find more bible inconsistencies (contradictions) : \n\nhttp://www.infidels.org/library/modern/donald_morgan/inconsistencies.html\n\na great compilation by Donald Morgan\n\nan avant-gout : \n\nGE 4:4-5 God prefers Abel's offering and has no regard for Cain's.\n2CH 19:7, AC 10:34, RO 2:11 God shows no partiality. He treats all alike.\n\nEZ 6:12, NA 1:2, 6 God is jealous and furious. He reserves wrath for, and takes revenge on, his enemies. "... who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? His fury is poured out like fire, and rocks are thrown down by him."\n2CO 13:11, 14, 1JN 4:8, 16 God is love.\nGA 5:22-23 The fruit of the Spirit of God is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.\n\n:)

The bible is not written by God.\n\nIts a compilation of different authors with different views but at the same time under Christianity. If it was all written by the same person, I doubt there would be any contradictions.\n\nAsk one person, he/she will say one cannot see god.\nAsk another and they will tell you that god lies in all things good and happy. Both Christians but with opposing viewpoints.\n\nShows you how contradictory Christianity is. It has become so widespread that the same small beliefs dont even apply.\n\nSome Christians think that Jesus has banned homosexuality, others know that because Jesus "loves" everyone, he has not discriminated agains homosexuals. Protestants, Catholics, Orthodox, the religion has become so diluted, infected, and untrue to its roots. This last paragraph however, is totally a different subject...

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.

I have been reading about that as of late and find it interesting.  plausible. The bible has seen a lot gone through a lot in that i mean translations.  It also stands that some books were purposely left out.  With that in mind I don't feel it proves with out a shadow of a doubt that its true.  However it does leave enough room for the thought and probability.

I'm daring.....\n\nThe Bible is bound to contradict itself, IT WAS NOT WRITTEN BY GOD but by men!\n\nGod's inspiration cannot contradict itself

Some have exploited these statements to argue their point that the Bible is unreliable or untruthful.\n\nBut, in a court judges WILL NOT BELIEVE statements by witnesses that are TOO PERFECT--without any minor inconcistencies. The judge's conclusion would always be that these statements--even under cross examination--were made up, or were too good to be true.\n\nIn reading contracts and law--w/c by the way the Bible is--we look for other provisions of these documents to really understand the whole thing.\n\nHere is a simplistic example:\n\nStatement (1): "Mike is fat".\nStatement (2): "Mike is thin".\nStatement (3): "When Mike was a kid he got sick with polio which severely affected his feet".\n\nIf you read only statements 1, and 2 you will conclude that these are really contradictory--or inconsistent--statements. But Statement (3) gives a clarification.\n\nSo, the correct conclusion considering Statement no. 3 is: "Mike is a fat man with thin legs". Agree, or disagree?\n\nNow let's go back to the 2 examples in question. Godshew(?) was correct. The case about God's warning to Adam, and his age could be reconciled. According to the apostle Peter's statement--a clarificatory one--1,000 years is just like 1 day to God. So, when Adam died at the age of 930, he died within one day in God's own time frame. \n\nAgain, Jesus did not contradict himself when he said that he and the father are one; and that the father is greater than he is. The apostle John was the one who wrote these statements and so he is the one in the better position to explain this (just like a witness in court). In John 17:20-22 he explains that the father, the son--including the disciples--are one in purpose, one in work, one in mind. \n\nFurther, if you will read John 10:25-33--and NOT just isolate John 10:30--then you will immediately notice that Jesus did not claim to be of equal power, or might, than his father. He and the Father are one in deeds (or works). Ps. read the account carefully.\n\nYou know what the problem is? some try to suit Biblical verses according to their beliefs--just like the ungodly trinity--and not suit their beliefs to what the Bible says.\n\nThis in turn is exploited by those eager to insist that the Bible is really unreliable.\n\nHope this helped a lot of people examine their Bibles closely.

As a Christian and Bible scholar, please believe me when I say that you have this all wrong--I mean you have truly misinterpretated practically everything.  \n\nI think though your points could be easily cleared up though if you were to sit with someone who has studied the Word. \n\nSince there is no way to address all of your questions and issues raised right now in this forum, why don't you go speak to a Jewish Rabbi or Bible Teaching Christian Pastor in your area.  \n\nYou don't want to hold on to misconceptions do you?  \n\nI'm sure you really do want the truth, right?  Good. You seem like someone that enjoys learning.  \n\nWell then if you want to learn the truth, you have an obligation to go and speak with someone educated in the Bible as well as someone that has a personally close relationship with GOD so that you can understand it from a different perspective.  \n\nYou're intelligent, and have obviously given this a lot of thought.  I'm sure you don't want to hold on to perceptions that are wrong right? \n\nSitting with someone one on one and going through each of your issues raise here, I believe that you will come away with a completely different view. You may still feel the same way, but at least you will have more and better information to draw more accurate conclusions.\n\nI can't begin to list the number of errors in your logic, or the number of times in your writings that you leaped to an erroneous assumption in this very short passage you wrote.  But I know that if you seek the truth, you will take the time to go speak to someone in person about your questions.  \n\nYou can even feel free to email me and I will be happy to talk to you more.  \n\nWe can walk through each passage here, and discuss the historical aspects that are recorded as well as what God is talking to us now about each of these passages.\n\nWe can discuss "What is the Mosaic Law", and how does it apply to the lives of God's people today.  We can also discuss spiritual warfare versus physical warfare and how it relates to the questions "Why would God kill innocent children? and order wars?"\n\nI welcome talking to you. I'm a Christian apologist.  We can debate, discuss, search and examine Bible history, teachings, prophesies, and hidden messages all day long, and it will not bother me, nor will I be offended if you don't agree.  \n\nI also welcome hearing about your religious beliefs. Although a devout Christian,  I enjoy studying other religions and beliefs as well.

Eye for eye vs turn the other check-- The eye for an eye thingwas under the old testament. we are not under that law. The same way we make laws today and then change them because the needs of our society change, so did they.\n\nThe camel thing. thats not a contradiction. You may say that we lack evidence to prove that camels were used but there is not one part of the bible contradicting another.\n\nCain, Abel, and where did the other come from. The bible is not a day by day account. this part skips ahead and tells the signifacant parts. Seen from a historical perspective the other births are not crucial.\n\nBlasphemy- I doubt that you done worse than Saul/Paul. So get to a good solid church and learn more about Christ\n\nThe trinity-Father/ Son /and Holy Ghost-- Okay lets say just for the sake of arguement that an all powerful God decided to take on two different physical forms. What would stop him? Remember he is all powerful. Would that second form not be God also? Now this God who is not limited by time, space or anything else is also not limited by his physical form. He is also able to be spirit as well.  There you have it in a nutshell.\n\nThe genesis you may eat from any tree thing is pretty simple. the language may throw some off but there is no contradiction. God basically tells Adam you can eat from any tree but that one.\n\nSkipping ahead a little\nBecause God changed a law does not mean that he made a mistake and therefore is not God. It simply means that the people were capable of following different laws at different times. At one time the best thing for them was one law and at another time it was better that they have a different law.\n\n2 versions of creation man firstthen animals or animals first then man-  -        One way of telling a story is in chronological terms. that is you list things out exactly in the order in which they occured. but that is not the only way.You can also give a brief summary and then go back and tell thinngs by order of importance or by the way those things go together. Think of the way you describe your house. One person would start with one room and then go on to the next and so on. Another would Describe it as follows\nFirst we did the foundation/ then we did the framing /then we did the electric.  Point is both would be accurate.\n\nJohn 6:44 and John 14:6 do not contradict either. Both are saying that the way to God is thru Jesus. But why would we be drawn to them. Because Jesus glorified God and God glorified Jesus so that we would be drawn to him.

There are a lot of contradictions in the Bible. Kind of makes sense, considering that the four gospels were just four of dozens that were picked and chosen into one book. So, with all those accounts and perspectives, that humans witnessed, there's bound to be some difference.

I dont believe there are any versions outside of the original texts that are more accurate than the next. There are flaws in the 1611 KJV as well as the NIV and every other version... I dont like the NWT though because it deliberately changes text to fit the Jehovah's Witness doctrines. (if you dont believe the KJV has flaws, contact me and I'll be happy to share them with you)

Didn't one of them take a wife from some other "people" living nearby? Neanderthals perhaps?\n\nThe bible is full of contradictions and plot holes. That's why considering it literally true is a sign of a logical defect in the mind. As a metaphor or allegory, it may have merit, though I'm not buying it personally.

You make some very good points. The bible was written in a time when homosexuality wasnt very common, people read into it much too far and take something out of it that could very well be not true.
