Does the Bible Contradict Itself?

[spockrates]

Spockrates, since you admitted I showed a contradiction, what's the next step? Admitting Bible is partially correct or partially incorrect?

The thing is how do you know which one of these two contradictory positions is the accurate one?

Also, if there is contradictions, why do you trust the Bible at all?

I apologize. I've been multitasking so muck in this discussion thread that I'm unsure about what biblical verses you are speaking. Are you referring to the ambiguity of John, chapter 3 resulting in contrary interpretations regarding the way to get to heaven?

If so, I would not call examples of this contradictions between biblical texts. Instead, as I might have already said, they are contradictions between the opinions of what the unclear texts might mean.

So the question I think you are asking is this: How do I deal with these ambiguities without losing faith (that is trust) in the reliability of the Bible? Have I more clearly stated you query?
