Can God contradict himself?

Sunshine...for EVERY supposed Contradiction that you post I can show you that they are not contradictions...

1.This is not a contradiction because both are true. Like in many cases throughout the Bible, such as the temptation of Jesus in the desert and Peter's denial of the Lord, these actions were done under the influence of satan, but with God's stamp of approval as well, since God knew that the result would ultimately favor Him. In this case, David's pride was driving him further from God, and God knew that David needed to be punished so that he could learn to rely on God, and not on himself. God allowed David's disobedience to go ahead, knowing the negative affect it would have upon his self-pride. Not a contradiction.

2.These are actually two different situations being described here. Reading the passages around it, you will see that the 2 Samuel threat happens before David repents, and the 1 Chronicles situation happens after David repents. Due to David's repentance, God lowered the threat of famine from seven years to three years. Not a contradiction.

3.Like with the previous question, it would be easy to confuse 700 and 7000 when transcribing, so this was almost certainly a transcribing error and not an error in the original texts. As for horsemen vs. footmen, many soldiers are able to fight on both horse or foot, so the 40,000 here could easily be described as both 'horsemen' and 'footmen'. Not a contradiction.

4.Both are true. Simon carried it part of the way, and Jesus carried it part of the way. Not a contradiction.

5.They evidently arrived as dawn was first breaking. At this time, it is still relatively dark. Not a contradiction.

6.And he indeed hath possessed a field of the reward of iniquity, and being hanged, burst asunder in the midst: and all his bowels gushed out.

The critic here is only supposing that the 'and it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem' in the Acts 18 passage is referring to Judas' bowels gushing out. More likely, it's referring to the beginning of this passage, the purchase being with the reward of iniquity (in other words, the selling of Jesus to the authorities), which is in agreement with Matthew. Not a contradiction.

IF YOU HAVE ANY MORE THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE ACUTAL TRUTH I CAN AND WILL BE GLAD TO SHOW YOU...GODS WORD IS TRUTH MY FRIEND...NO LIE, NO CONTRIDICTIONS....

Have you ever been at a crime scene and asked the varrious wittnesses what happened. There is truth that is obvious, then there is the input from the minds of the viewers seprate points of view. Each is exactly true. The esentals are there. The facts are there. The personalities of the writters are also there acting as a interpeting factor. The Gospels are just that. There is the Truth, and there is also the presentation of the points of view of the wittnesses.

The overriding fact in Judaism and Christianity is that God is One Lord. Hear O Isreal, the Lord our God is One Lord. The unity of God is unquestionable. God can not disagree with himself. Any interpetation of scripture or narrative that asks if God disagrees with himself disregards the first principals, or primise of the Bible.

All else comes in the light of that one single belief

That would be true, if God lived above the clouds and wrote books to people on one planet. How can you think that the Bible was literally written by God? God exists, but not as some bearded man with as much emotional baggage as a normal person. God is not some guy. God is the personal and creative spiritual force of nature, nothing more nothing less. The Bible and organized religions create atheists.

God cannot contradict Himself. He is truth. The purpose of the Bible is to instruct us of His word and to live our lives with Him accordingly. Why do people search specifically to twist the pureness of His word? That energy trying to disprove Him or prove He contradicts Himself is time spent foolishly,

Cling to God and His word to live. Lets make the Bible a positive book. In that sense, it is still the best book because there are a lot of people who want to disprove and contradict the holiness of it. It is truly the most controversial book out there to those that seek to make it evil.

God keep u.

for #6, Acts 1:18 describes what happens after Matthew 27:5 happens. he bursted open after he hung himself and decayed.

The Bible is the best friend you can ever have: always there for you through the thick and thin.

No, he is not capable of it. Scriptures were not only written by men as eye witness to what they saw, heard, and were told but many religions have tried to alter what is in the Bible text. So to blame God for what man has done is not the brightest idea someone has had.

God cannot contradict Himself but the reports of men ABOUT God can be contradictory

no contradictions in the Bible, sorry.

Also, God doesn't make mistakes. Have a nice day.

No. The Bible is the only truth there is and ALL other books are just opinion and speculation.

Nice job at taking things out of context...
