Most so called contradictions come from cherry picking through scripture. A person needs to compare the scriptures to find answers, when I see what seems to be a contradiction I search out, with God's guidance, other scriptures on the same subject to find the truth within the scriptures.
Its like you see god because you are looking for god...
I'm not looking for contradiction, I see them. Now I'm just starting to read the bible as a whole, start to finish(bet you're happy to hear that

Well in Genesis, it says that god made day and night BEFORE he made sun and stars. How is that? The sun makes it day.
How is it that it says that god made animals then made humans. But then it gos to say the "lord" god made animal after humans because he didn't want us to be alone?
How come god made both men and woman, at the same time. Then later women are created from the rib of a man?
It says we are created in GODs image, so in his image we should be perfect. You keep saying that we are not, because of our free will to sin. "In gods image" seems he knew we would sin.
Why does it go from God, to LORD God? Did the writers change and that's why the story is contradicted? How do you know what tale to believe?

God says we will not miss those lost to eternal punishment, God plan is for those in heaven to be eternally happy and at peace. Now that you have me thinking about it, those going to eternal punishment will probably be allowed to miss those in heaven, part of the punishment. If missing loved ones is part of eternal punishment it can't be part of eternal life in heaven.
Why are people not to be sad? No, free will is what it is a decision, though the decision can result in sadness or happiness.
I'm going to hell,as you think. So my family will miss me. They will know I will be punished for something as simple as not believing. They will probably prey for my forgiveness but it won't happen because god thinks I am hopeless. So there will be no happiness.
You really think that if one of your family members/or close friends goes to hell that you won't feel worried for them?

You sad people can't be sad in heaven, it is everlasting happiness and peace.
After reading Eve "sinning" it seems like they didn't have free will till they ate the fruit and realized that they where naked. They gain knowledge and awareness, which seems like free will. They will learn of good and evil, which is a choice from free will. They were doing what they were told, God told them not to eat the tree, but the serpent told Eve it was ok too, so she did.
So did god create the serpent? Did he make it evil?
