Does the Bible Contradict Itself?
July 15, 2012 at 4:16 pm (This post was last modified: July 15, 2012 at 4:17 pm by spockrates.)
I'm wondering whether there are any biblical passages that contradict one another. Please provide two contradictory passages for discussion and explain why they result in a contradiction. Thanks.

Thanks Annik, but please provide two texts, only. I'm looking for a discussion.

Isn't this a discussion thread, Napoleon? Please provide the most mind-blowing one that comes to your noble mind.

It is, but I don't feel like discussing it, rather advice on how to find what you are looking for would be more productive. It's so simple to go on google and search for bible contradictions. Doesn't really need to be discussed.

What I've found is that nearly all the contradictions are apparent rather than real. But do you think I'm wrong?

Annik:

There must be one that's so obvious and so damning that I'd have nothing to say in response. Isn't there?
