A lot of the supposed contradictions go away when you look at the context of what was being written. It is easy to get lost in the minutae of individual texts, but by and large the narrative of the Bible and details remain consistent within the entire Bible.
Mark Twain commented, “It ain't the parts of the Bible that I can't understand that bother me, it's the parts that I do understand.”
I'd offer that instead of endlessly dissecting the Bible and looking for contradictions, if we simply read the New Testament and seek to live that out in our lives, the world will be a changed place.
The Bible and my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ have transformed me and my life from lost and prideful to humbled and living a life of purpose for others I encounter.
