The following is taken from William Henry Burr's book, Self-Contradictions of the Bible. With additions by Arjuous EDIT****

[Emotional God]

1-> God is Satisfied with his works; "And God saw everything that he had made, and behold it was very good." Genesis 1:31

1-> God is Dissatisfied with his works; "And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart." Genesis 6:6 (E)

[Principle/Example Contradiction]

2->God Dwells in chosen temples; "...For now I have chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there forever; and mine eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually." 2 Chron. 7:16 (E)

2->God does not dwell in temples; "Howbeit the Most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands." Acts 7:48 (P)

[Principle Contradiction]

3->God Dwells in Light; "Dwelling in light which no man can approach unto." 1 Timothy 6:16 (P)

3->God Dwells in Darkness; "The Lord said he would dwell in thick darkness." 1 Kings 8:12 (P)

[Principle/Example Contradiction]

4-> God is seen and heard; "And the Lord spake to Moses face to face, as a man speaketh to his friend." Exodus 33:11 (E)

4-> God is invisible and cannot be heard; "No man hath seen God at any time./Ye hath neither heard his voice, at any time, nor seen his shape." John 1:18/John 5:37 (P) - Biblical 'fact'

* The two passages in John produce a doubly infallible rule that no man has ever seen nor could ever see God, yet in the Old Testament we see exactly this. In this instance, with God being infallible and also the author of a holy book, such a holy book MUST be infallible as well; it could not rationally be otherwise. In this instance we see a common occurrence, where the Old Testaments premises are not met perfectly by the New Testament allegories written to fulfill them. Apologists come up with various reasons for these inconsistencies, but most of these are drawn from nothing more than thin air. Thankfully for them, they rarely have to address these issues with their clergy.

[Principle/Example Contradiction]

5-> God is tired and rests; "For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed." Exodus 31:17 (E)

5-> God is never tired and never rests; "Hast though not heard that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary?" Isaiah 40:28 (P)

* The story being told in Isaiah 41:1-20 is that of God interceding in human events, metaphysically asserting that God intercedes in all or some human events.

6->God is not everywhere present, neither sees nor knows all things; "And Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord, amongst the trees of the garden." Genesis 3:8 (E)

[Principle/Example Contradiction]

7->God knows the Hearts of Men; "Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men." Acts 1:24 (P)

7->God tries men to Find Out what is in their hearts; "For now I know that thou fearest God, seeing that thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son, from me." Genesis 22:12 (E)

* The Genesis passage implies the necessity for God to test the hearts of men.

[Principle/Example Contradiction]

8->God is all-powerful; "Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh; is there anything too hard for me?" Jer. 32:27 (P)

Genesis 9:25, "For I , The Lord thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation." Exodus 20:5, "For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance; but whosoever hath not from him shall be taken away even that he hath." Mat 13:12 (P)

[Principle/Principle Contradiction]

11->God is the author of evil; "Thus saith the Lord, Behold I frame evil against you and devise a device against you." Jer. 18:11, "I make peace and create evil. I the Lord do all these things." Isaiah 45:7 (P)

11->God is not the author of evil; "For God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man." James 1:13 (P)

16->God's anger is fierce and endures long; "For I have kindled a fire in mine anger which shall burn forever." Jer. 17:4 (E)

16->God's anger is slow and endures but for a moment; "His anger endureth but for a moment." Psalms 30:5 (P)

[Principle/Example Contradiction]

17->God commands, approves of and delights in burnt offerings, sacrifices, and holy days; "And the priest shall burn it all on the altar to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the Lord." Lev. 1:9 (P)

17->God disapproves of, and has no pleasure in burnt offerings, sacrifices, and holy days; "For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices."

20->God lies by Proxy; He sends forth lying spirits to deceive; "And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the Lord have deceived that prophet." Ezek 14:9 (P)

[Principle/Example Contradiction]

21->Because of Man's wickedness God will NOT destroy him; "And the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I smite any more every living thing." Genesis 8:21 (P)

Chestnuts! Chestnuts! All much to easy for me to waste time on. I'm quite sure that if you put on your little thinking cap for a moment, you can come up with the solutiions to all of these.

C'mon! I BELIEVE the Bible, and I can give you far better 'contradictions' within it's text, than these silly 'pretend' contradiction you've reproduced here. I WANT A CHALLENGE!

I'm sorry; you'll just have to do MUCH BETTER or risk boring me...........

So then I guess you dont like God much...or how he constantly confounds the "wise".

What are you going to do.....Rebell....?????? :24::24::24::noidea:

I am amazed how much time and effort a man who doesnt believe in the bible as the word of God would spend quoting from the book he doesnt believe in to justify his already obvious UNbelief. Its clear that the issue is then NOT one of UNbelief, but rebellion....You simply dont like the way that God can so powerfully confound you without even having to utter a word... God doesnt have to bow to YOU..You must bow to HIM....You will one day, mark my words....."For they will ALL know me from the greatest to the least."

and every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Is Lord. Yes...Even YOU...You will bow in worship or you will bow in sorrow. Dont forget to take your list of contradictions to the judgement seat......

Regards,

Ben.

Since the Bible is touted as the word of God, it is only reasonable that contradictions as perceived by others would be a legitimate criticism by them. This is not rebellion for the sake of rebellion. Is independent thinking bad?

Also, how are you so sure that other religions aren't the correct one? It would be helpful for you to remember that when you use the "judgment day" scare tactic, we can reject that as easily as you can reject all the other religions in the world which may have dire consequences because you don't believe in them.

When the day that the "scare tactic" actually arrives, what are you going to do about all that you have written and said about Christianity?

I am not going to go through all of these, but here's an example:

21->Because of man's wickedness God destroys him; "And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually....And the Lord said I will destroy man whom I have created." Genesis 6: 5, 7 (E)

21->Because of Man's wickedness God will NOT destroy him; "And the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I smite any more every living thing." Genesis 8:21 (P)

This may seem like a contradiction when taken in like this, but it's also taken out of context of the Bible. Notice that the second verse says "I will not again". It's saying that from that moment henceforth God will not do those things, though it was done before. This in particular is about the story of Noah. The whole verse reads this:

Genisis 6: 5 The LORD saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time. 6 The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. 7 So the LORD said, "I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth

Yeah, what are you going to think when millions of Christians suddenly dissappear? :noidea:

Only Noah and his family were taken before the flood...

Only Lot and his wife and daughters were taken before the destruction of sodom...

God said in Jeremiah to go throughout the whole town and search for just ONE righteous man, for you will not find one.....

When Elijah fled the venom of Jezebel, he thought he was the only one left, but God let him know that he had reserved for himself a remant...

Im a believer too....But to be quite honest, I'm not so certain we are talking about millions here. It is after all only a small flock.

The testing times will reveal all...Those who HAVE Jesus will stand firm as it is HE who sustains them. Those who have "Religion" as their god, will not have God for their religion. Lots of bibles but no God..Or lots of gods, but no Bible.. These are those who attempt to separate God from his Word. This cannot be done, for God "IS" his Word...

Regards,

Ben.

Well there are over 6 billion people in the world. I would think that the numbers will be at least a couple of million. :noidea:

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
