One thing I've discovered is that if you actually read the bible and apply logic to it, you'll liberate yourself from religion. I am going to post here some contradictions in the bible that clearly prove that the bible was not even well written, let alone being inspired by a God. Note that there are hundreds, if not thousands of such contradictions but I'll only post those that stand out.

Let's go!.

No one has ever seen God (1 John 4:12).

Contradiction:
The Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend (Exodus 33:11).

No man has seen or can see God (1 Timothy 6:16).

Contradiction:
The Lord appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day (Genesis 18:1).

There is not a righteous man on earth who continually does good and who never sins (Ecclesiastes 7:20).

When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others (Luke 24:9)

Contradiction:
Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid. (Mark 16: 8 )

I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you (Genesis 17:7)

Contradiction:
The days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah. (Hebrews 8:6–13)

If you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10:9)

Contradiction:
Not everyone who says to me, ''Lord, Lord,'' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven Matthew 7:21.

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast (Ephesians 2:8–9).

Contradiction:
For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done (Matthew 16:27).

If you make the Most High your dwelling—even the LORD, who is my refuge—then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent. (Psalm 91:5–10)

2 contradictions:
Like a servant who earnestly desires the shade, and like a hired man who eagerly looks for his wages, so I have been allotted months of futility, and wearisome nights have been appointed to me (Job 7:2:3)

Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. (1 Peter 4:12–13)

I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me (Exodus 20:5).

3 Contradictions.
Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin (Deuteronomy 24:16).

Everyone will die for their own sin; whoever eats sour grapes—their own teeth will be set on edge (Jeremiah 31:30).

The one who sins is the one who will die (Ezekiel 18:4).

Those so called contradictions are some of the reasons I was an atheist. I was blown away when I discover the truth. I believe things like that are part of the reasons many are still blind.
HOLY SPIRIT is the answer my friends. GOD is WONDERFUL!

(9). Make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19).

3 Contradictions:
Then Jesus said to the woman, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel." (Matthew 15:24)

Jesus sent out the twelve disciples with the following instructions: “Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans.'' Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel (Matthew 10:5–6)

No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their descendants may enter the assembly of Jehovah, not even in the tenth generation (Deuteronomy 23:3).

If you used to be an atheist it means you never understood the concept of God.......and you still don't as a Christian. God cannot be found in any religion.

musicwriter:
No one has ever seen God (1 John 4:12).

Contradiction:
The Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend (Exodus 33:11).

We must remember first of all that two statements which in terms flatly contradict
one another may both be absolutely true, for the reason that the terms are not used
in the same sense in the two statements.
For example, if any man should ask me if I ever saw the back of my head, I might
answer, “No, I never saw the back of my head,” and this statement would be
strictly true. Or I might answer, “Yes, I have seen the back of my head,” and this
statement would also be true, though it appears to flatly contradict the other. The
back of my head I never have seen, but more than once when looking into a
mirror with another mirror back of me I have seen the back of my head. What I
should answer depends entirely upon what the man means. If he means one thing
I answer no, and that is true. If he means another thing I answer yes, and that is
equally true.
But someone may object, “In the latter case you did not really see the back of
your head. What you saw was a reflection of the back of your head in the mirror.”
But to this I would reply, “Neither do you see the back of anyone’s head when
you are looking at it. What you see is the reflection of that person’s head upon the
retina of your eye.”
But everyone knows what you mean when you use language in this common
sense, everyday way. They know that when you say you saw the back of another
man’s head you mean you saw a reflection of it upon the retina of your eye, and
they know when you say you saw the back of your own head in the glass that you Father.” The time is coming when all the pure in heart shall behold God
permanently manifested in bodily form ( Matthew 5:8 ). The form in which Jesus
existed in His preexistent state in the glory was the form of God ( Philippians 2:6
, see RV marg.). The Greek word which is translated “form” in this passage
means “the form by which a person or thing strikes the vision—the external appearance” (Thayer’s Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament ),so
we are clearly taught that the external appearance of Jesus in His preexistent form
was the external appearance of God, that is, that the invisible God, who is a spirit
in His essential essence, manifests Himself in an external, visible form.

This guy can't even defend his bible but have to copy from yet another book before he could reply. He copied his post from the book ''Difficulties In The Bible'' by yet another irrational author.

Please reply to me what you have to say about the contradictions and not what someone else said.

Isn't the holy spirit supposed to talk to you directly?

musicwriter:
There is not a righteous man on earth who continually does good and who never sins (Ecclesiastes 7:20).

Contradiction:
There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright (Job 1:1)

By birth and the law, none is righteous; yet righteousness is imputed on any who lives by faith!

you are taking the easy way out by claiming that someone that disagree with you is irrational, moreover the person you quoted never made mention of posessing the holy spirit

When I saw a ghost some years back, I was so terrified that I didn't tell anybody, yet now I have just told everybody!

The important thing is that there's explanation for for the seeming contradiction. The source is inconsequential!

Contradiction:
Not everyone who says to me, ''Lord, Lord,'' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven Matthew 7:21.

Shouting "Lord Lord" and doing it with faith in your heart are two different things or do you believe everyone that tells you they love you?

Excallibur:

Yes, you can't respond to any of the contradictions rationally. You'll only end up using one irrationality to defend another irrationality. And that's what he've done.

Everyone will die for their own sin; whoever eats sour grapes—their own teeth will be set on edge (Jeremiah 31:30).

The one who sins is the one who will die (Ezekiel 18:4).

The life of the flesh is in the blood, and remission of sin requires shedding of such sinful blood. If the same blood runs in a family, sin in the father's blood means sin in the blood of the offspring. Yet God in His mercy, restricts the punishment to the offender. That's wonderful!

No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their descendants may enter the assembly of Jehovah, not even in the tenth generation (Deuteronomy 23:3).

The fact that he was sent to the lost sheep of Israel does preclude his sending disciples to preach to all the Nations, and neither is it a contradiction (like saying I'm sent.../I'm not sent...).
Truly, no foreigners will enter the assembly of Jehovah! Yet, anyone who becomes a true Jew by being born again, shan't just enter but also dwell in the holy assembly forever!

The Christian Bible is fake, false and counterintuitive.

There are more than one thousand errors and contradictions in the Christian Bible, more than any book that is out there.

For instance, there are more errors in the Christian Bible than there are in the Torah or the Quran even though they are all part of the same combination of fakery.

The Bible is one of the many magic tricks that Christianity use to bamboozle innocent people.

No one has ever seen God (1 John 4:12).

Contradiction:
The Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend (Exodus 33:11).

musicwriter:
No man has seen or can see God (1 Timothy 6:16).

Contradiction:
The Lord appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day (Genesis 18:1).

The statement that no one has seen God refers to seeing God fully, in his complete glory. Those who "saw" God did not see this and only saw a lesser form. For some more detail, see here.

musicwriter:
There is not a righteous man on earth who continually does good and who never sins (Ecclesiastes 7:20).

Contradiction:
There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright (Job 1:1)

musicwriter:
All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23).

Contradiction:
Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God (Genesis 6:9)

From my understanding, "blameless" is a superior translation for the Hebrew word in question than "perfect" and indeed I believe that is the more common English translation of the word. Its purpose is to demonstrate they were holy people, but not that they were in fact sinless. See also here.

musicwriter:
The women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples (Matthew 28: 8 )

When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others (Luke 24:9)

Contradiction:
Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid. (Mark 16: 8 )

They said nothing to anyone initially, but later did.

musicwriter:
I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you (Genesis 17:7)

Contradiction:
The days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah. (Hebrews 8:6–13)

Genesis 17:7 refers to a covenant with Abraham. Hebrews 8:6-13 is referring to a replacement of the separate covenant made with Moses.

musicwriter:
If you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10:9)

Contradiction:
Not everyone who says to me, ''Lord, Lord,'' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven Matthew 7:21.

Matthew 7 makes no mention of belief, only saying "Lord, Lord." It also comes immediately after a discussion regarding false prophets. The distinction here is between those who actually believe (referred to in Romans) and those who merely claim to believe but in fact do not (referred to in Matthew).

musicwriter:
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast (Ephesians 2:8–9).

Contradiction:
For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done (Matthew 16:27).

Believing or not believing is something that you "have done." One could also say that the Matthew verse refers not to the act of being saved or not, but merely what level of reward someone receives (e.g. a martyr could receive greater honor than a normal Christian in heaven, even though both are saved).

musicwriter:
If you make the Most High your dwelling—even the LORD, who is my refuge—then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent. (Psalm 91:5–10)

2 contradictions:
Like a servant who earnestly desires the shade, and like a hired man who eagerly looks for his wages, so I have been allotted months of futility, and wearisome nights have been appointed to me (Job 7:2:3)

Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. (1 Peter 4:12–13)

Psalms is proverbial literature and should not be read absolutely. For more information, see here.

musicwriter:
I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me (Exodus 20:5).

3 Contradictions.
Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin (Deuteronomy 24:16).

Everyone will die for their own sin; whoever eats sour grapes—their own teeth will be set on edge (Jeremiah 31:30).

The one who sins is the one who will die (Ezekiel 18:4).

Immediately after Exodus 20:5 comes "but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments." This demonstrates the purpose of it: A rhetorical device to contrast the blessings of God as more positive than the punishments of God are negative, as demonstrated by the fact "a thousand generations" is much less than "three or four generations." Indeed, this would indicate that the punishing the children only applies while they continue to, like their parents, hate God--should they follow God's commandments instead, they would be put into the latter group of being given blessings. Attempting to read this as some kind of contradiction with the other verses given is to simply miss the actual point of Exodus 20:5 when read in context. For another take, see here.

musicwriter:
Make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19).

3 Contradictions:

Jesus sent out the twelve disciples with the following instructions: “Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans.'' Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel (Matthew 10:5–6)

No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their descendants may enter the assembly of Jehovah, not even in the tenth generation (Deuteronomy 23:3).

The first "contradiction" refers only to the mission Jesus had on Earth; it was only later that it was truly time to try to bring it to everyone. The second refers only to a specific preaching they were doing, and does not refer to everything subsequently. I'm not sure what the third has to do with Matthew 28:19, but perhaps it comes from misunderstanding "the assembly of Jehovah" as being heaven, when it was actually in reference to some religious meetings. In any event, by the time of the New Testament no one would have qualified as that anyway, as any descendants of Ammonites and Moabites would have been long past the ten generations mentioned.

Are there contradictions in the Christian Bible, yes or no?

RandomGuy48:
Those who "saw" God did not see this and only saw a lesser form.

Show us in your Bible where it says that.

What chapter is that, and what verse.

The Christian Bible is fake, false and counterintutive.

There are so many contradictions and so many errors that if one was to mark it as though it is a test paper, the authors of the Christian Bible will score less than zero.

And that doesnt include the lies, fakery and falsehood that constitutes the entire body of works.
