9 Ways to Deal with Apparent Bible Contradictions @ChristianityStillMakesSense

[luckydog]

I was guilty of ALL of this my first couple of Bible reads. After a few years of watching hundreds of YouTube vids by Bible scholars and having all my doubts and questions answered I can attest to your 9 points in this video. Scripture is way deeper and complex than I could have ever imagined.

So basically, don't question anything and accept everything with an open heart. Don't question the apparent falsehood of the bible and believe in the lies.

Brainwash 101.

1. Realise that the bible contains contradictions.
2. Stop claiming that it doesn't.
3. Wonder why an almighty god would inspire people to write a book full of contradictions.
4. realize that no gods had anything to do with writing the bible.
5. Re-evaluate why you believe the bible.

As a Christian I had a list of apparent "contradictions". These contradictions were answered fully and completely the more I investigated them. As time went by I formed another few lists which were also answered. I continue to have a list but confident that these questions/contradictions will again be answered as before. This only serves to boost my faith on God and his word. As Bill Lane Craig said, never be afraid to confront you doubts. Wrestle with them until you get your answer.(Paraphrased). Burying your will eat away at your faith as well as weakening your evangelism.

And to those who come here with the same old tired list of alleged contradictions that have been debunked repeatedly for years, how about actually reading the Bible for yourself and researching the answers first instead of just mindlessly repeating what you saw or heard from some website or video?
Then you won't look completely ignorant, obvious and won't have to own someone else's mistakes. Just something for your consideration.

God LOVES us so much but if we think about something bad he will torture us forever and ever. Now there is a contradiction if I have ever heard one.

[andrewkilbride]

I was on board with narrowed eyes until about half way through then unfortunately any cohesion started to fragment.

[idontwantahandle]

What contradictions? The Bible is the inerrent, infallible, 100% literally true Word of God! LOL everyone knows the bible is full of contradictions, and ancient fairy tales and concepts taken from earlier religions, mostly Mesopotamia, early Egypt, and Zoroastrianism. But, you are going to believe what you want to believe, aren't you?

[RayNWall]

If you come across what may seem to be a contradiction, that is an opportunity to dig a little deeper and you’ll be blessed with understanding. The Lord rewards the diligence.

[landornan]

So in short, don't think for yourself and don't have any critical though. How about no

[bobcatpnw]

Bobby is himself a contradiction. He said on air that he has no problem attending a gay wedding and participating in the ceremony.
Why would you endorse and celebrate a Roman’s 1 pagan ceremony bobby ?

[stevewatson]

Why do you think the bible is a reliable source of information?

[andrhof]

I also apply these principles when Christians tell me there are errors and contradictions in the KJV.

The Atheist Troll Crew (ATC) will have a field day with this... Waiting for foolish comments from Dux, Frank Cardano, Sterling Falls, MATT Slater, etc.

Can someone explain Moses and the 10 plagues. If the 5th plague killed ALL the livestock. How did they have first born animals for the 10th plague to kill. Also, how did they have 600+ horses drawn chariots to chase the Israelites to the Red Sea ALL ANIMALS WERE KILLED? God even EXTRA killed the first born. 😂

[Dalekzilla]

Well, considering that The Bible was written by MEN, and NOT God, it should not be surprising to find contradictions in The Bible. ONLY God is infallible...to say that The Bible is infallible is to say that The Bible IS (literally) God. And as far as the Old Testament/Old Covenant, THIS is what we are told in the New Teastment...."If the Old Covenant had been without FLAW (or FAULT) there would have been no need of a new one".

[jaggedtiger]

“Hey if someone points out something that crumbles your world view. Ignore it” great advice

[theartzscientist]

I have a good one! No one could have possibly heard Jesus conversation with the Thief on the cross. Explain that!

[gweltawenydd]

Well, not wanting to sound like an Atheist troll (I'm not an atheist but I am a troll in several ways LOL) but this sounds like a circle. (I know that God is infallible because the bible says he is. but if there appears to be an error in the bible I should remember that God is infallible.)
Yes, many of the so-called contradictions are easily explained but there are some that are so glaring that it is obvious they can't both be true. for example one section of the bible says a king (I can't remember which was 8 when he took the throne another says he was 18. He can't be both.
