Contradictions In Bible? Quoted in details . DO U have any explanation?
Easy:





The Bible is a fictional book as was never properly proofread.
Reply:Who did Adam %26amp; Eve's children have children with if they were the first people on earth?
Reply:okay i checked my Bible ( niv ) ... the 1st contradiction ... both states 18 years old ...
Reply:As for the first "contradiction", my Bible has Jehoiachin as being eighteen, not eight, in both passages. I checked several different versions for that one (www.biblegateway.com).





As for the second, that contradiction is in the KJV, but is NOT present in (for example) the Holman Christian Standard Bible. Both verses in the Holman CSB say that the container could hold 11,000 gallons (WOW!).





You have to understand that for many years, the Bible was copied by hand. It's possible that for BOTH "contradictions" the scribes wrote down the wrong number. For example, in the first one, the number eighteen was written as "eight" followed by "ten." I can see how that would be confusing, especially if those who translated the Bible weren't aware of the "ten" being there, or thought that it was a scribal error, or it was copied wrong from the text they were translating from, or...





Errors like those were fixed in later editions of the Bible, when older (and more reliable) manuscripts were discovered. There are lots of errors like those in the KJV, but you won't find them in the Holman CSB (which is what I use) and many other newer versions.

Genesis





# God says that if Adam eats from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, then the day that he does so, he will die. But later Adam eats the forbidden fruit (3:6) and yet lives for another 930 years (5:5). 2:17





# As a punishment for killing Abel, God says Cain will be "a fugitive and a vagabond." Yet in just a few verses (4:16-17) Cain will settle down, marry, have a son, and build a city. This is not the activity one would expect from a fugitive and a vagabond. 4:12





# God promises Abram and his descendants all of the land of Canaan. But both history and the bible (Acts 7:5 and Heb.11:13) show that God's promise to Abram was not fulfilled. 13:15, 15:18, 17:8, 28:13-14





# How long was the Egyptian captivity? This verse says 400 years, but Ex.12:40 and Gal.3:17 say 430 years. 15:13





# "In the fourth generation they [Abraham's descendants] shall come hither again." But, if we count Abraham, then their return occurred after seven generations: Abraham, Isaac (Gen.21:1-3), Jacob (Gen.25:19-26), Levi (Gen.35:22-23), Kohath (Ex.6:16), Amramn (Ex.6:18), and Moses (Ex.6:20). 15:16





# God promises Abram's descendants the land of Canaan from the Nile to the Euphrates. But according to Acts 7:5 and Heb.11:13 God's promise to Abram was not fulfilled. 15:18





# God promises to make Isaac's descendents as numerous as "the stars of heaven", which, of course, never happened. The Jews have always been, and will always be, a small minority. 26:4





# God renames Jacob twice (32:28, 35:10 ). God says that Jacob will henceforth be called Israel, but the Bible continues to call him Jacob anyway (47:28-29). And even God himself calls him Jacob in 46:2. 32:28, 35:10





# God calls Jacob Jacob, though he said in Gen.32:28 and 35:10 that he would no longer be called Jacob but Israel. 46:2





# God promises to bring Jacob safely back from Egypt, but Jacob dies in Egypt (Gen.47:28-29) 46:3





# The tribe of Judah will reign "until Shiloh," but Israel's first king (Saul) was from the tribe of Benjamin (Acts 13:21), and most of the time after this prophecy there was no king at all. 49:10





# "He washed his garments in wine ... His eyes shall be red with wine."


Did Judah really wash his clothes in wine? Were his eyes bloodshot from drinking too much? Or is this a prophecy of Jesus? (I didn't know Jesus had a drinking problem.) 49:11-12





# Contrary to the prophecy in 48:21, Joseph died in Egypt, not Israel. Gen.50:24





Exodus





# God promises to cast out many nations including the Canaanites and the Jebusites. But he was unable to fulfill his promise. 33:2

Deuteronomy





# God promises to cast out seven nations including the Amorites, Canaanites, and the Jebusites. But he was unable to fulfill his promise. 7:1





# God says that the Israelites will destroy all of the peoples they encounter. But according to Joshua ( 15:63, 16:10, 17:12-13) and Judges (1:21, 27-36, 3:1-5) there were some people they just couldn't kill. 7:24





# Those who do as God says will never be infertile (neither will their cows!) and will never get sick. 7:14-15





# Prophets and dreamers are to be executed if they say or dream the wrong things. 13:1-5





# False prophets are to be (you guessed it) executed. How do you know who is a false prophet? By whether or not their predictions come true. (Watch out Jehovah's Witnesses!) 18:20





# Misquoted in Rom.10:8. 30:14





# God promises to "destroy these nations before thee." That he didn't keep his promise see Jos.15:63, 16:10, Jg.1:21, 1:27-36, and 3:1-5. 31:3-6





Joshua





# God promises to give Joshua all of the land that his "foot shall tread upon." He says that none of the people he encounters will be able to resist him. But later we find that God didn't keep his promise, and that many tribes withstood Joshua's attempt to steal their land. 1:3-5





# Joshua tells the Israelites that God will "without fail" drive out the Canaanites and the Jebusites. But later, the Bible tells us that he could not drive them out. 3:10





# This verse says that Ai was never again occupied after it was destroyed by Joshua. But Nehemiah (7:32) lists it among the cities of Israel at the time of the Babylonian captivity. 8:28





# God promised the Israelites that he would drive out all the inhabitants of the lands they pass through. But this verse shows that he didn't keep his promise since he couldn't drive out the Jebusites. 15:63





# "And they drave not out the Canaanites." Once again God fails keep his promise to destroy all the people the Israelites encounter. 16:10

Psalms





# Misquoted in Heb.10:5-6. 40:6

# Misquoted in Mt.13:35. 78:2-3





# "I have sworn unto David my servant, Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations." But the Davidic line of Kings ended with Zedekiah; there were none during the Babylonian captivity, and there are none today. 89:3-4, 34-37


#





Isaiah





# God told Isaiah to tell Ahaz, the King of Judah, not to be concerned about Rezin (the king of Syria) or Pekah (the king of Israel). But according to 2 Chr.28:5-6 "God delivered him [Ahaz] into the hand of the king of Syria; and they smote him, and carried away a great multitude of them captives, and brought them to Damascus. And he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who smote him with a great slaughter." 7:3-7





# The King James Version mistranslates the Hebrew word "almah", which means "young woman" as "virgin". (The Hebrew word, "bethulah", means "virgin".) In addition, the young woman referred to in this verse was living at the time of the prophecy. And Jesus, of course, was called Jesus -- and is not called Emmanuel in any verse in the New Testament. 7:14





# These verses falsely predict that Babylon will never again be inhabited. 13:19-20





# Dragons will live in Babylonian palaces and satyrs will dance there. 13:21-22





# This verse prophesies that Damascus will be completely destroyed and no longer be inhabited. Yet Damascus has never been completely destroyed and is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities. 17:1





# The river of Egypt (identified as the Nile in RSV) shall dry up. This has never occurred. 19:5





# "The land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt." Judah never invaded Egypt and was never a military threat to Egypt. 19:17





# This verse predicts that there shall be five cities in Egypt that speak the Canaanite language. But that language was never spoken in Egypt, and it is extinct now. 19:18





# These verses predict that the Egyptians will worship the Lord (Yahweh) with sacrifices and offerings. But Judaism has never been an important religion in Egypt. 19:18-21





# These verses predict that there will be an alliance between Egypt, Israel, and Assyria. But there has never been any such alliance, and it's unlikely that it ever will since Assyria no longer exists. 19:23-24





# "They have ... changed the ordinance. There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone."


Is this a prophecy about prohibition in the United States? 24:5-11





# "The priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink." You can't even trust a drunken prophet anymore. 2
Reply:..................................... Me running away.
Reply:for one you misquoted the chronicles and kings one the actual verse in chronicles that your talking about is.





Jehoahaz [a] was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months





then the kings one is


Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months








another words their two different people





I think you purposely did that to fit your message








about the others I can explain them but I doubt you will have the patience for me to do so.





heres the answer for the other





At first glance it looked like a contradiction. But what is a "bath"? And what is a "molten sea"? A "bath" is a unit of measurement that is equivalent to 8 gallons of water. While the "molten sea" is a very large brass pan, in which they put water for the priests to wash in. 1 Kings describe how much the molten sea was usually filled, it was 2,000 baths. 2 Chronicles specified the capacity of the molten sea when filled to the brim, which was 3,000 baths. Therefore both passages are correct. I will do further research on this and will add to it if you are willing to come back and read.








I suggest you go here%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; http://www.thebereans.net/contra-main.sh...





So that it may clear up alot of your claims of contradiction. I cant anwer them all because im only human and it takes to long and I doubt your interest in this will last long.





I also suggest you visit www.gotquestions.org


and send them your questions they are biblical christian scholars that know pretty much the bible inside and out and will give you a 5 page explination if need be, they are on the ball theirs a link to it %26gt;%26gt;http://www.gotquestions.org/





you will need to give them your email and they will respond in 1-7 days im sure they got alot questions to answer, and itwill take a bit to get it. and you can give them all the contradictions you know of and i gurantee they will silence you and your doubts but if your heart is still not willing you will not care what they say.
Reply:An answer to the person who said your Qur'an is full of them too...


Firstly,


Christians who died at the time of Jesus are considered Muslims becuz they believed in their prophet during their time..so they die believers and go to heaven!


christian s who die now are considered non-muslims coz they do not believe in the last prophet during their time..so they die non-believers!


Logic tells u that it's correct..
Reply:Yes, it's a contradiction. Don't worry, your quran has them too.

Reply:The bible has more in common with mother goose and humpty dumpty, they are fables
Reply:Those things might trouble me if application of the significant things in the bible to peoples lives did not work so well, miraculously and consistently.
Reply:The Bible has many seeming contradictions within its pages. For example, the four Gospels give four differing accounts as to what was written on the sign that hung on the cross.





“And above His head they put up the charge against Him which read, ‘THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS’.”


—Matthew 27:37


“The inscription of the charge against Him read, ‘THE KING OF THE JEWS’.”


—Mark 15:26


“Now there was also an inscription above Him, ‘THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS’.”


—Luke 23:38


“Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It was written, ‘JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS’.”


—John 19:19











Those who are looking for contradictions may therefore say, “See—the Bible is full of mistakes!” and choose to reject it entirely as being untrustworthy.


However, those who trust God have no problem harmonizing the Gospels. There is no contradiction if the sign simply said, “This is Jesus of Nazareth the King of the Jews.”


The godly base their confidence on two truths: 1) “all Scripture is given by inspiration of God” (2 Timothy 3:16); and 2) an elementary rule of Scripture is that God has deliberately included seeming contradictions in His Word to “snare” the proud. He has “hidden” things from the “wise and prudent” and “revealed them to babes” (Luke 10:21), purposely choosing foolish things to confound the wise (1 Corinthians 1:27).


If an ungodly man refuses to humble himself and obey the gospel, and instead desires to build a case against the Bible, God gives him enough material to build his own gallows.


This incredible principle is clearly illustrated in the account of the capture of Zedekiah, king of Judah. Jeremiah the prophet told Zedekiah that God would judge him. He was informed that he would be “delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon” (Jeremiah 32:4). This is confirmed in Jeremiah 39:5-7 where we are told that he was captured and brought to King Nebuchadnezzar, then they “bound him with chains, to carry him to Babylon.”


However, in Ezekiel 12:13, God Himself warned, “I will bring him to Babylon …yet he shall not see it, though he shall die there” (emphasis added). Here is material to build a case against the Bible! It is an obvious mistake. Three Bible verses say that the king would go to Babylon, and yet the Bible in another place says that he would not see Babylon. How can someone be taken somewhere and not see it? It makes no sense at all—unless Zedekiah was blinded. And that is precisely what happened. Zedekiah saw Nebuchadnezzar face to face, saw his sons killed before his eyes, then “the king of Babylon… put out Zedekiah's eyes” before taking him to Babylon (Jeremiah 39:6,7).


This is the underlying principle behind the many “contradictions” of Holy Scripture (such as how many horses David had, who was the first to arrive at the tomb after the resurrection of Jesus, etc.).


God has turned the tables on proud, arrogant, self-righteous man. When he proudly stands outside of the kingdom of God, and seeks to justify his sinfulness through evidence he thinks discredits the Bible, he doesn't realize that God has simply lowered the door of life, so that only those who are prepared to exercise faith, and bow in humility may enter.


It is interesting to note that the seeming contradictions in the four Gospels attest to the fact that there was no corroboration between the writers.





God bless and take care.
Reply:Obviously the mistakes are intentional and put in to test us.


No, wait, Satan interfered with the Spirit in time of writing.


No, they are actually true despite looking like contradictions.


No, it's all in your mind because you don't have the Holy Spirit.


Wait, let me just distract you, then tell you why there is God.


You can't understand God. God's math is not human math.





I think I about covered all the answers, surprise me.
