A Christian Look at the Bible 'Contradictions'

I frequently hear non-believers saying that the vast amount of inconsistencies in the Bible PROVE that it's not the truth. I thought it would help everyone involved in both sides of the debate to provide a Christian's responses to the 'inconsistencies'. It should be noted that I am by no means the first Christian to address this subject. Much has been written about them before by Christians, and many of my answers are based on the answers they gave.  I should also say that studying the real meanings behind these apparent contradictions has helped me to come to a better understanding of the Bible and the way it was written.

Two passages are contradictory only if there is no possible way for both passages to be true.  One does not need to prove the truth of both passages in order to claim that they are not contradictions, but only to come up with a reasonable way that the two passages could both be true.  Only if it is impossible for both passages to be true, do we have a contradiction.

Listed on these pages are over 400 of what non-believers have claimed are Biblical contradictions.  I have researched all of them, looking back to the original Hebrew and Greek when necessary, and seeing what Biblical scholars have said about them.

One has to wonder what it would mean if even one of these apparent contradictions is the result of an error made by one of the original Biblical authors.  Would this mean that the Bible is not really the truth it claims to be?  I, for one, would have to say that an errors in the Bible, if any exist, do not reflect on whether the Bible represents the truth of God.  The Biblical authors were most definitely inspired by God, but being inspired by God does not mean that you are perfect and never make mistakes.  No reasonable person is claiming that God Himself wrote the Bible, dictating every passage into the ears of the authors.  The details of what they wrote often came from their own memories or what they heard from other people.  There certainly are occasions where the authors heard directly from God or Jesus, and then you could certainly say that this information came directly from God (as Jesus was a physical manifestation of God), but there are no contradictions in this information.

The Bible is unique among religious texts in that it was written by many different authors, many of whom wrote separate accounts of the same events. The Bible is a collection of 66 books by over 40 different authors written during a period of over 1500 years and covering generally around 1000 pages.  I'm willing to bet that if you were to acquire a similar collection of histories about, say, World War II, there will be far more contradictions in those books, and no one doubts the historical truth of World War II.

Also, in an odd way, the differing accounts help to prove that the Bible was not a made-up story or that the Bible was seriously edited over time. For example, let's suppose that the 4 Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) were only made-up stories about a person who never existed. This would imply that Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John all got together and made up this story out of thin air.  If they were creating what they knew to be a false story, they would have rehearsed the story in detail to avoid differences.  In that case, all of the minor details of the story would also have been made up, and then, in writing their various accounts, all of the details would have matched exactly. There would have been NO differences. But the fact that there are differing details in the stories strongly suggests that they were writing of a true event from memory. Any lawyer or judge could tell you that they would not expect two or more witnesses to an event to tell their accounts of the event exactly the same way.  If they did match up exactly, this would be evidence of a conspiracy.

And also, if those copying the Gospels were taking liberty with changes, then the first thing they would have done is ironed out the apparent inconsistencies. The fact that they left them in, despite the fact that they seemed to disagree with other minor details, proves that they were unwilling to change ANYTHING in the Gospels.

Almost all of my quotes are from the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible.  In a few cases, I have made mention of other versions, such as the New International Version (NIV), the New American Standard (NAS) and the New King James (NKJ).  I have used full quotes of the passages wherever I could, but have summarized in cases where the text was too long to copy onto this page.

The contradictions are generally arranged chronologically by the earliest passage in each group (for example, a 'contradiction' between Genesis and Exodus would be in the 'Genesis' section only).

I also have a page giving one possible exact chronology of the events between Jesus' resurrection and ascension which is reconciled with all four Gospels (events that some critics claim cannot be reconciled).  Click here--->Easter
