Question
I've been in a large discussion about the existence of God and whatnot on a forum lately(I believe in God), and someone provided a list of what they said were biblical contradictions.

I'm no bible scholar, so I have no refutes for any of them, and most of them made me curious as well.

That's the link to the "contradictions". I'm sure there is a good reason for each of them, and I would love you to enlighten me if you can. If not, just let me know. These are some tuffies, I'll understand if you don't have answers for them. I'll be praying for your wisdom!

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for this great question.  I am so sorry for my late response.  It would take too much time and space to respond to each item in the web site.  I can get you to an incredible source for this type of attack.  Norman Geisler wrote a book, "When Chrisitc Ask".  It is a comprehensive list of common attacks to specific scriptures in order that they appear in the Bible.  Here is a link to the book.  It is well worth your investment:

I hope that this helps.

In Christ
