Your not even asking the most obvious question...if there were contradictions, why would they still be there nearly 2000 years later?
Surely you don't believe they were only discovered this week.
Millions of theologians, historians, priests, pastor and parishioners have studied the Bible inside and out, backwards and forwards, translated it into every language, scrutinized every word and yet found not one contradictions.
Do your own homework then get back with us.
This is nonsense. A book that old could certainly have contradictions that aren't removed, particularly if there is reluctance to alter it (like, for example, it is a religious book).
In this case, the contradictions have been known for a long time, but I don't think they are considered by most to be material to the central message.
Chalk it up to wishful thinking. The second paragraph has some confusing sentences in it. The 25th sentence seems to be contradicted by the 157th line, but look at the beauty of sentence number 129. Im sorry but one sentence in the Bible that can be contradicted leaves the entire Bibles truth in doubt. Look up the fallacy of appealing to authority.
People will push logic and reasoning to the side if they think that they will live in peace forever after death. Have you read stories about families who refuse to give blood transfusions to their children? They will not listen to reason, logic, and modern medical science. Their children often become permanently disabled or die of easily treatable diseases as a result.
I'm sorry if I come across as condescending and I understand how you must feel. Keep believing if it makes you feel good.
