Why is the bible full of contradictions?
Why is there all these contradictions in the bible?
"For I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not keep anger forever." (Jeremiah 3:12)
"Ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burn forever." (Jeremiah 17:4)
"If I testify about myself, my testimony is not valid." (John 5:31)
"Jesus answered: Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid." (John 8:14)
And Jesus said, "For judgement I am come into this world." (John 9:39)
"I came not to judge the world" (John 12:47)
"Jacob said, 'I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.'" (Genesis 32:30)
"No man hath seen God at any time." (John 1:18)
We should fear God (Matthew 10:28)
We should love God (Matthew 22:37)
There is no fear in love (1 John 4:18)
There are many many more. So why is there contradicting verses if the bible is all 100% true?
It's not just verses that are contradictory. There are also stories that are contradictory. And it is not just a matter of context as some answerers claim.
The birth stories in Matthew and Luke provide a good example.
According to Matthew the family of Jesus lived in Bethlehem when Jesus was born during the reign of Herod (Herod died in 4 B.C.). Matthew relates of a threat to Jesus and a trip to Egypt and that, when they returned to Palestine after the death of Herod, the family of Jesus bypassed their original home in Bethlehem and settled in Nazareth so that Jesus would fulfill a prophecy (a prophecy that is non-existent in the Old Testament, by the way).
According to Luke, Joseph and Mary lived in Nazareth before the birth of Jesus and went to Bethlehem during the Syrian governorship of Cyrenus (that's the Greek spelling; Quirinius is the Latin, and he began his governorship in 6 A.D.) because of an enrollment for taxes that required that everyone had to go to the city of their ancestors. Not long after the birth of Jesus the family returned to their home in Nazareth.
The two stories are completely contradictory and cannot be reconciled.
In the first place, the Romans taxed only the provinces they had direct control of, such as Egypt. They did not tax the provinces controlled by client rulers such as Herod.
There is no evidence that there was a Roman census in Judea during Herod's reign, and attempts to prove otherwise are without basis. In addition, Saturninus was Governor of Syria from 9 BC to 6 BC, and Varus from 6 BC until after the death of Herod.
When Herod died in 4 BC, the Romans gave Judea, Idumea, and Samaria to his son Archelaus to rule, and the other parts of Palestine to his other two sons. Archelaus was brutal as ruler and his subjects appealed to Rome. As a result, Rome deposed Archelaus in 6 AD and took over direct rule of Archelaus's territory. In so doing they instituted taxation of that territory, and Quirinius, as the newly installed governor of Syria, was tasked to oversee the taxation, hence the enrollment. This taxation did not include Galilee, which was ruled by Herod's son Antipas, so Joseph, as a resident of Galilee (according to Luke's story) would not have been required to go to Bethlehem for the enrollment (contrary to Luke's exaggeration, the taxation was not world wide and did not require everyone to return to the city of their ancestors, which the Romans would never have done because of its impracticality and because there would have been absolutely no reason for it; they taxed on the basis of residency, not ancestry).
In Matthew's story, Joseph originally lived in Bethlehem. Some time after the birth of Jesus and the trip to and return from Egypt (which Matthew made up to appear to fulfill prophecy) Matthew used the brutal reign of Archelaus as an excuse to have Joseph and his family settle in Nazareth instead of returning to Bethlehem. As the KJ Bible says, "And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene." That indicates that Joseph was making a new home for himself and his family there. Again, there was no such prophecy. Matthew just made it up to give a reason for Joseph to settle in Nazareth.
Luke's story has Joseph and Mary leaving their home in Nazareth and going to Bethlehem where Jesus was born, and returning to Nazareth not long thereafter after performing the ritual requirements according to the law of Moses, which was forty days. There is simply no way the two stories can be reconciled. Among the other things noted above, the time frame provided by Luke leaves no room for the events described by Matthew.
