Some Pair Of Bible Verses That Contradict One Another by Nobody: 8:03am On Mar 26, 2023
I have read the Bible times over again, and it ir teemed with contradictions and thus, couldn’t possibly have been divinely inspired, AKA the infallible words of a perfect God that was dictated to human transcribers.

Here are 30 pair of verses that are completely incompatible:


1.And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against
the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven. —Luke 12:10

Contradicts: For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
—Romans 10:13


I used to ponder over those two, because if you commit a sin that can never be forgiven, you burn in the Lake of Fire forever —no turning back. So what
would happen if i call upon the name of the lord to be saved? These two verses can’t be simultaneously
true. They cancel out one another.


2. Another thing that made no sense was the whole Old Testament/New Testament conundrum. God actually changes
his mind? In Leviticus, God lays down a bunch of laws and calls them “everlasting.” Then in the New Testament, we suddenly hear this:
For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion to look for a
second. —Hebrews 8:7
So God made a deal with the Hebrews that had faults in it?
So God is imperfect? It doesn’t compute.

There are so many contradictions in the Bible, but "die hard fans" will do everything to prove to you that there is none. I would like to see who can explain these two to me as "not contradictions."

1. Genesis 22:1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.

James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

2. Ezekiel 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

Exodus 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: 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 of them that hate me;

1. The two verses above aren't even addressing the same things so how can you declare them contradictory? undecided

The first is a Law indicating that anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven by God. Only those who are already under Law aka born-again, can have the access necessary to even commit such a sin. undecided

The second verse is Paul suggesting to the non-believers that they can be saved from death- perishing in the grave--- by calling on the name of God. undecided

Always try to pay close attention to context when reading. undecided

1. Those are likely a result of human error and nothing more. undecided

2. Do you know what the meaning of the word "inspired" is? That book contains the words and opinions, the words of Satan and Demons, as well as the Word of God. That should tell you that inspired does not mean same as True, or Perfect. That book was written by human hands in Human language and to be comprehended by humans just like you, so expect human errors. undecided

Yes. Each book was written at a different point in time by a different author, and in human language so understandig context is important to understanding what is written. undecided

1. What the writer is saying is nothing of what you think. It takes serious understandig to realize what the writer of the letter to the Hebrews is attempting to say there. undecided

2. No, instead God created a sort of loophole by which He could putting those who He cursed under His Old Law in growing His special Nation of Priests- Exodus 19 vs 6. Long story but God announced from the beginning, to the people of Israel, that He would constitute two separate Nations using the descendants of Israel.. undecided

1. Only the Word of God - the Word out of God's mouth- is Truth, according to scripture. When it comes to the opinions of men expressed, there is the Law of 2 or 3 witnesses documented in both the Old Law and the New.. undecided

Stand aside abeg, since you are not able to understand it for it means God does not want people like you and the op and it is even funny that the op has her own preference of worship so why is she attacking God? Is her own choice not good for her anymore?

The Bible is not written for people to immediately get it like a textbook. It is meant only for a kind of people God wants. And anyone who does not qualify is left in their darkness. That is what God has done.
