CONTRADICTIONS IN THE BIBLE

This picture has nothing to do with this blog. This is Hannah, aka. The redeyedkid. A genuinly cool kid.




These contradictions were garnered from a secular website. It appears that they are created by someone with a 2nd grade public education. Some are interesting though. Keep in mind that they are collected by someone who hates the Bible.

Our basic pre-supposition is following:
  • The Bible is God’s Word
  • God’s Word is perfect
  • Therefore, the Bible is perfect

2. The creation of trees and men do not match.
GE 1:11-12, 26-27 Trees were created before man was created.
GE 2:4-9 Man was created before trees were created.

3. The creation of birds and men do not match.
GE 1:20-21, 26-27 Birds were created before man was created.
GE 2:7, 19 Man was created before birds were created.

4. The creation of animals and men do not match
GE 1:24-27 Animals were created before man was created.
GE 2:7, 19 Man was created before animals were created.

5. The creation of woman and men do not match
GE 1:26-27 Man and woman were created at the same time.
GE 2:7, 21-22 Man was created first, woman sometime later.

The first 5 contradictions have the same problem. Lost people have said for years there are differences in the creation story between Chapters 1 and 2.

Chapter one is a detail of the Creation day by day.
Chapter two does not contradict because it is the same story told from a different perspective. There are no contradictions between the stories. One tells the detail and the other tells the purpose and method.
