  • Serious answers only please. Why so many contradictions in the bible?

    I was raised going to church and at one time even thought about becoming a member of the clergy. I started studying the bible front to back and it seems the more I learned the more questions I had which no one could answer. The first being Job:

    This was a man who did nothing wrong but was tortured beyond measure including the murder of his children so God could prove to Satan that Job would not curse God. The bible states that it is impossible for God to lie and Satan knows this so why was Job tortured when God's word should have been enough.

    Also 3 people asked Jesus "How do I get to Heaven?"

    They were given 3 different answers. One of which was "Whosoever believeth in me shall not perish but have everlasting life." Then in the book of Peter the bible tells us "Even the devils believe and they tremble."

    Paul tells us that salvation is a gift from God and you cannot buy it nor earn it with works. Then in James the bible says that "Faith without works is dead". There are more.
