Did you know the Bible contradicts itself 439 times?
And somehow, it’s taken 2000 years for someone to figure it out.
Somehow, for 2000 years, countless scholars, disciples, etc. have committed their lives to studying the scriptures, and still boldly declared it to be the inerrant word of God … but were completely wrong.
“Really,” you ask?
Of course not.
Someone I “follow” (according to the loosest definition of the word) on Twitter posted a link to this huge poster created by The Reason Project (sic) last week. It lists, and graphically depicts, all of the “contradictions” in the Bible. All 439 of them. (The picture at the top is the graphic depiction. The white lines represent the chapters in the Bible, the length of each depicts the length of the chapter. The red lines each represent a supposed contradiction.)
I thought it would be a fun project to look at each one.
It won’t be an uninterrupted series by any means. I’ve attempted to solicit the help of several trusted individuals who are all much smarter than I am, so hopefully we’ll hear from other voices as well.
Ready? Seat-belts fastened, chairs in their up-right positions, shoes securely tied? 1 of 439 … tomorrow.

Thanks for this work. So glad there are quality responces to be found for this poster. I’ll spread the word.
Looking forward to reading through!
God bless you.

Hi,
may I ask why did You asked for help “several trusted individuals who are all much smarter than” You? Why isn´t it obvious to everyone who reads the bible. It shouln´t be complicated at all, it is not about precise interpretation, it is just to show that there is no contradiction. In my opinion that is the probem, why is the bible not clear? Just one obvious interpretation, clear for everyone. Why is it necessary to study, why cant we normal people just read and understand it? Even scolars disagree often, because it is too difficult and unclear.
Thanks if You think about it or explain to me what do You think
