Don't believe in both. It's not a situation you need to believe in any of the choices.

You are right

 

[Frodo]

You are right

I beg to differ. All these listings of so-called Bible contradictions are hardly new. Many Bible teachers and apologists have already addressed them. Christians do not need to panic upon seeing such lists.

Agreed. I don't think the way to look at scripture is to compare fine details. Different methods of expression will appear to make 2 different authors "contradictory".

In context, the scripture is trying to tell us something, which is the Jesus story.

why do you say that?

Matthew 27:52-53 When Jesus died by crucifixion, tombs were opened and the bodies of many dead saints raised forth from their tombs, entered the city and appeared to many.

vs

Job 7:9 He that goes down to the grave comes up no more.

Who to believe?
Isnt the Bible supposed to be the inerrant and inspired Word of the Living God?

This is very serious factual contradictory!!! Can't be just different in expression of the same account
No much suprise to atheists because the bible is a story book compiled and copycatted out of human imagination

Matthew 11:12-14 Jesus said: John the Baptist is Elijah

vs

John 1:21 John the Baptist said he was not Elijah

Who to believe? Matthew 11:12-14 or John 1:21?

For a religion book which such a highly acclaimation by their reward-thirsty believers, what is the level of tolerance for error?

This is very serious error in fact, can't be different in expression by different writers

Bro, you are half right Still I respect your reasoning, even it is different from my view.

The list contradiction touched you more than me, read the fine details again.....then come back to tell us whether different methods of expression is the cause.

There is big difference between conflicting and contradicting account of stories. Many real stories that told by eye-witnesses would inadvently give a slightly account. Take the current bus crash at Genting Highland. Up to now, the authorities still do not know exactly the actual facts and many of the survivors gave different account. But the fact is true: The bus did fall into the ravine and many were killed.

As in the 4 gospels, the stories were recorded and/or told by eye-witnesses, and many of these stories were witnessed by hundred or even thousand of people like the crucification of Jesus. In fact, the conflict 'fact's proved one very important thing: The Bible is written no conspiracy! They recorded exactly what the eye-witnesses saw. So, yes...one woman or two women wouldn't change the story....woman (or women) and not man (or men) did in fact witnessed the empty tomb. the resurrection of Christ.

If all the 4 gospel wrote exactly, word for word, of each other...than what's the point of having 4 gospels? One should be good enough. The fact that there are 4 gospels tell us that the stories recorded were actual events and more importantly, witnessed by many people of diverse background and these account for the so-called 'conflicting' aspect of the stories (but the stories do not contradict among the gospels).

Please show evidence that the Bible is (1) storybook (2) compiled (3) copycatted (4) out of human imagination. So 4 things for you to provide evidence in support. Will wait while you scramble to surf the net for answers, upon which you would be grilled to defend those answers.

Get your confused mind sorted out about what a contradiction really is before claiming there is a contradiction.

Indeed, don't be fooled by village atheists who distort the Bible out of fear that there is a God who judges them.

The contradiction is layout clearly. And clearly,a factual contradiction or error. No some kind of typo or accounting mistake...

Explain why there is no contradiction? If not, it hold

Don't be fooled by a dumbass who lies or get many facts about the bible wrong. Ask frodo what he commented on circumcision and marriage in the bible which were exposed to be untrue

Each line, there is the relevant bible chapter and verse. Mr Frodo would be able to debunk line by line if they are really distortions. But obviously, he can't. He can't only make some unsupported claims

Re: Don't Be Fooled

More contradictions to debunk the claim about gospel writer being inspired by God
