Contradictions in the bible?
I believe that all of the alleged contradictions in the Bible can be explained.
So if you have an honest example of a contradiction that you actually want an answer to, post it here and I will clear it up for you.
The bible itself is a contradiction with so many versions having been created over the centuries it is impossible to accurately understand what the original was really saying and any answer is an intellectual guess based upon belief and faith. It was written in a time long past so does not bear witness to what is relevant in the 21st century. Time to move on and create a new one relative to modern values. A good idea but many people depend upon the "word" of God/Gods/Deities/Prophets etc. Until people learn to believe in themselves they will not be able to "move on" and so in the meantime they need a crutch which usually comes in the form of a book. e.g. Buddhist Texts, Bible, Koran, Vedas, etc etc etc. 1

Contradictions are easy for Bible-worshipers to avoid because of the flexibility of vague passages, and the methods of interpretation used are very flexible allowing shifts from one book to another. Flat errors are a bit harder to pin down. You don't have to look any farther than the first sentence in the book of Genesis to find an error in the Bible. The literal translation is: In the beginning the gods (plural) created the heavens and the earth. This first sentence has been mistranslated since forever and this fact addresses the origins of biblical theology (polytheism) cannot be dismissed. 1

In the beggining was the word (Jesus) and the Word was with God and the Word was God, he existed in the beggining with God. We see here, in John 1:1 that Jesus is with God and he IS God. The word Elohim is reffering to the trinity. Also when esed with singular verbs and nouns elohim is a singular noun. 1

You admit that this has been mistranslated over so many years? If they are wrong about the first sentence what else are they wrong about? Also, in your explanation, Jesus and the father are gods(plural)? In the doctrine of the trinity you have one god, not "gods" as expressed "elohim", which is the plural form of "el". There are no contradictions in the Bible, TMH God is not the author of confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33). What it is, is that you heathen nations don't know how to read the book of the Israelites. TMH God didn't give you heathen nations the understanding like HE gave the real Israelites. 1
