Biblical Contradictions

The way I will do this is I will list 5 contradictions in this article. I will also state a great source for viewing many more if you are interested. These have been confirmed and this is directly from the bible. Now, I know believers many times make up excuses like "The bible is not meant to be literal". Well my answer to that is if it isn't literal, why do you believe in it? If the word of god is a metaphorical word, then what makes you think it has any credibility?

Anyways here is my list of 5. Thank you.

1. Jesus' Last Words? - Which is it???

MAT 27:46,50: "And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, eli, lama sabachthani?" that is to say, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" ...Jesus, when he cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost."

LUK 23:46: "And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, "Father, unto thy hands I commend my spirit:" and having said thus, he gave up the ghost."

JOH 19:30: "When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished:" and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost."

2.The Geneology of Jesus.

In two places in the New Testament the genealogy of Jesus son of Mary is mentioned. MAT 1:6-16 and LUK 3:23-31. Each gives the ancestors of Joseph the CLAIMED husband of Mary and Step father of Jesus. The first one starts from Abraham(verse 2) all the way down to Jesus. The second one from Jesus all the way back to Adam. The only common name to these two lists between David and Jesus is JOSEPH, How can this be true? and also How can Jesus have a genealogy when all Muslims and most Christians believe that Jesus had/has no father.

3. How exactly did Judas Die?

"And he cast down the pieces of silver into the temple and departed, and went out and hanged himself." (MAT 27:5)

"And falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all of his bowels gushed out." (ACT 1:18)

4. Who bears guilt?

GAL 6:2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

GAL 6:5 For every man shall bear his own burden.

5. Good Deeds? Really?

Matt 5:16 "In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven." (NIV)

Matt 6:3-4 "But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." (NIV)

Thank you for reading. Please approach this with an open mind.
