Here is a short and incomplete list of Biblical contradictions which were obtained from postings in internet newsgroups. Unfortunately I did not record who posted them or if they have a web site with a longer and more complete list. If you like this page you might also like Contradictions of the Gospel and this List of Biblical Contradictions at www.infidels.org
If the Bible was divinely inspired, then why would it have so many really obvious contradictions?

Yes, initially, God's creation was all good. Humans were created perfect but with free will. Adam and Eve ate of the tree of knowledge of good and evil which caused them to be imperfect and sinful since they disobeyed God's rules.
"Is [God] willing to prevent evil, but not able? then is he impotent. Is he able, but not willing? then is he malevolent. Is he both able and willing? whence then is evil?"-Epicurus.

then god is not all knowing thus debunking the entire bible
riddle me this
"Is [God] willing to prevent evil, but not able? then is he impotent. Is he able, but not willing? then is he malevolent. Is he both able and willing? whence then is evil?"-Epicurus.
its not really a question but what do you have to say about it?

Even though technically the trinity is 3 gods, it is actually the same god, the father is god in heaven, the son is Jesus or god in physical form, and the holy ghost is the spirit that enters your soul when you accept Jesus Christ as your personal lord and savior hope this helps clear up any confusion!
Some Holy Scripture references on the Most Holy Trinity” Whom Abraham addressed in the Old Testament among the three angels symbolize the Trinity, and that is whom Abraham was talking to was God the Son, the God of the Old Testament. Read Genesis 1:27. Read first Psalm 32:6 and then read Job 33:4. Daniel 3:8-30. As God as the consuming fire read Deut. 4:24; Heb. 12:29. We see our God as ‘Holy’ read: Isa. 6:1-3. Christ as the Son of Man read Daniel 7: 13, 14. also read St. Matthew 25:31. “Take not the Holy Spirit from me.” Read Ps. 51:3. Read also Numbers 11:16-17 as the Hebrew elders where calling upon the grace of the Holy Spirit to come upon them all. “Word became flesh” (John 1:14). Doctrines of the Holy Trinity: “Word became flesh” (John 1:11). In addition....see for MORE PASSAGES IN THE BIBLE~
It always amazes me how many times this God orders the killing of innocent people even after the Ten Commandments said “Thou shall not kill”. For example, God kills 70,000 innocent people because David ordered a census of the people (1 Chronicles 21). God also orders the destruction of 60 cities so that the Israelites can live there. He orders the killing of all the men, women, and children of each city, and the looting of all of value (Deuteronomy 3). He orders another attack and the killing of “all the living creatures of the city: men and women, young, and old, as well as oxen sheep, and asses” (Joshua 6). In Judges 21, He orders the murder of all the people of Jabesh-gilead, except for the virgin girls who were taken to be forcibly raped and married. When they wanted more virgins, God told them to hide alongside the road and when they saw a girl they liked, kidnap her and forcibly rape her and make her your wife! Just about every other page in the Old Testament has God killing somebody! In 2 Kings 10:18-27, God orders the murder of all the worshipers of a different god in their very own church! In total God kills 371,186 people directly and orders another 1,862,265 people murdered.

you can't explain the doctrine correctly, it's nonsensical in nature
1=1
3=1
1=3
that doesn't make sense!
especially since characters 2 and 3 only appeared about 2/3rds of the way into the story..
locoman...does an all powerful god really need you to defend him? what is your purpose? making yourself happy or making me happy?
just curious....

The LORD grieved for creating man because man, through free will, decided to be evil over good. This is not a contradicition of the initial satement that God thought everything was good upon completion of creation. This is a weak "contradiciton" argument.
