Mar 14:67 -72, Luk 22:55 -60, Joh 18:17 -27
The Gospel's make it Clear that he denied it before more than one Person so it would only be a contradiction if he denied it only before one person or more than one if they are the same sex, And one gospel said it was before males and the other gospel said it was before females.
202. (422) Judas died by Hanging / Falling
Mat 27:5, Act 1:18
Mat doesn't say Judas died as a result. Another explaination is that Judas hanged himself on a tree by a cliff and the rope broke sending him careening over.
203. (427) Jesus trial was at night / in the morning.
Mat 26:59 - 27:2, Luke 22:66 :71
There could have been two separate trials or it could have started late into the night and continued well into the morning.
204. (429) The High Priest asked Jesus if he was the Son of God / the Blessed.
Mat 26:63, Mar 14:61
Both
205. (430) Jesus said the high priest would see the Son of Man from now on / later.
Mat 26:64, Mar 14:61-62
Hereafter could also mean life after death.
206. (431) Jesus was accused of blasphemy / tax evasion/ claiming kingship.
Mat 26:65, Luk 23:2, Joh 19:12
All of the Above
207. (432) Jesus did / did not say he would raise the temple in three days.
Joh 2:19, Mat 26:59 -61, Mar 14:57
The False witnesses misquoted Jesus, not getting the right meaning.
see Joh 2:20 -22
208. (434) The high Priest would not have rent / did rend his cloths.
Lev 21:10, Mat 26:65
He broke the Law.
209. (436) Jesus was / was not silent during his trial before Pilate
Mat 27:11 -14, Joh 18:33 -37
Jesus being silent was about him not answering to defend himself against his accusers.
210. (439) Jesus was Scorged before / after he was sentenced to death.
Joh 19:1 :15 -16, Mar 15:15
Both could be Correct.
211. (440) It was / was not lawful for the Jews to put Jesus to death.
Joh 19:7, 18:31
The Jews claimed under Their Law aka the Torah Jesus should be put to death because they think he blasphemed but Israel was not free at the time but under the Romans Authority so they weren't allowed to by the Roman's law to put him to death.
212. (442) Jews/ Chief Priests / Pilate Princes of this world / Jesus killed Jesus.
Mat 27:25, Luke 23:23 -24, Joh 19:15 -16, 1Co 2:8, Joh 10:18
They all had a role to play, Jesus let them kill him.
213. (443) Soldiers of Herod / Pilate put the robe on Jesus.
Luk 23:11, Joh 19:1- 2
There could have been more than one robe. Both.
214. (444) Jesus' robe was scarlet / purple.
Mar 27:27 -28, Joh 19:2
It could have been multicolored or considered either.
215. (445) Jesus / Simon the Cyrenian carried Jesus' cross.
Joh 19:16 -17, Mar 15:21
Both. Jesus began to carry it until he was to weak from the torture so they got that guy to help him.
216. (446) Jesus was hung on a tree / cross.
Act 5:30, Mat 27:40
Jesus was hung on a cross that was made from a tree.
217. (448) Those who hang on a tree are / are not cursed.
Gal 3:13, Deu 21:23, Act 5:30
Read the whole verse in Gal and you will see he was made a curse for us.
Nowhere do you cite that he that hangs on a tree is not cursed, because that is not in the bible.
Also Note hangeth is present tense, Jesus is no longer cursed.
218. (452) The sign over Jesus' head read four different ways.
Mat 27:37, Mar 15:26, Luk 23:38, Joh 19:19
They were very similar perhaps none of the gospels quoated the sign word for word.
219. (453) One / Two thieves reviled Jesus on the Cross
Mar 15:32, Luk 23:39 -40
Both did, one repented.
220. (456) The women watching the crucifixion stood near / far away.
Joh 19:25 -26, Mat 27:55
You assume the woman were somehow magically frozen in time the whole time Jesus was on the cross.
221. (461) There is only / more than one Christ.
1 Cor 8:6, Mat 26:26, Isa 45:1
Communion is symbolic not literal, not everyone who was anointed is Christ. Kings were anointed in the old testiment. 1 Sam 15:17, 2 Sam 5:3
222. (464) Jesus laid down his life for his friends / enemies.
Joh 15:13, Rom 5:10
He died for Both. There is no contradiction since the text doesn't say Christ died only for his friends. In fact his friends were his enemies when he died for them. According to this site He didn't just die for those who would become his friends but also for those who would stay his enemies. 2 Pet 2:1
http://defendinginerrancy.com/bible-solutions/John_10.11_(2).php
223. (471) The women (woman) arrived at the sepulchre before / at / after dawn.
Joh 20:1, Mat 28:1, Mar 16:2, Luk 24:1
Here i am Just Going to copy and paste a Possible explanation from another website to answer several of the following Questions.
Each of the gospels adds details that help complete the STORY OF THE RESURRECTION. The order appears to be as follows: A large group of women had observed the crucifixion of Jesus (Matthew 27:55), followed the process of His burial (Luke 23:55) and then went to prepare spices and ointments for Him. They rest on the Sabbath and then return in two groups on Sunday (Luke 24:1). Mary Magdalene, Mary (supposed to be the mother of James and Joses), and Salome start out ahead while it is still dark (John 20:1), looking for someone to roll away the stone (Mark 16:3). They are amazed to see the stone taken away and the tomb appearing empty. Without going inside, Mary Magdalene runs off to tell the disciples that someone stole the body (John 20:2). The other two women proceed to go into the tomb and see an angel (Mark 16:5). This same angel who had earlier appeared to the guards and rolled the stone away now speaks to them (Matthew 28:5-7), instructing them to go tell the disciples. They flee out of the tomb in great fear, too frightened to go tell the disciples (Mark 16:8). Meanwhile Peter was informed by Mary Magdalene and runs to see the empty tomb for himself (Luke 24:12), followed by John (John 20:3). Mary Magdalene also returns behind them and remains weeping after they leave (John 20:11). Two angels appear to comfort her and Jesus Himself comes to her (John 20:12-14 and Mark 16:9). Afterward, She returns to the disciples to share the further news (John 20:18). Meanwhile the frightened Salome and Mary regroup with the rest of the women carrying the spices and go to the tomb. Finding it empty, they stand perplexed (Luke 24:4). Then two angels appear to the full group and explain in greater detail the news of the resurrection (Luke 24:4-9). Afterwards, they ALL go back to the disciples (Luke 24:10 and Matthew 28:8). On the way, Jesus himself meets them and comforts them further (Matthew 28:9-10).
http://www.genesispark.com/essays/contradictions/answered/
224. (472) one / two / three / more than women came to the sepulcher.
Joh 20:1, Mat 28:1, Mar 16:1, Luk 24:10
see 223. (471)
225. (473) The women went to Jesus' tomb to anoint the body / just to look /for no reason.
Mar 16:1, Mat 28:1, Joh 20:1
They could have came for more than one reason, and Just because Joh 20:1 doesn't give a reason doesn't mean there wasn't one.
226. (474) Jesus' body was / was not anointed when the women came to the tomb.
Joh 19:38 -42, 20:1, Mar 15:45 -47, 16:1 -2
Perhaps they were unaware that he had already been anointed or they wanted to anoint him a second time.
227. (475) The tomb was opened / closed when the women arrived.
Mar 16:4, Luk 24: 1-3, Joh 20:1-2, Mat 28:1-3
Does Matthew really say they were already there when the stone was rolled away? see 223. (471)
Mat 28:1 -4, Mar 16:2 -6
They could've simply not known that there were guards there, and the guards probably fled from the angels.
229. (477) At the tomb the women saw an angel / a young man / two men / two angels.
Mat 28:1 -4, Mar 16:5, Luk 24:4, Joh 19:40
The Angels were Men, and the other Gospel(s) just didn't mention the other.
230. (478) When the women arrived the men or angels were inside / outside the tomb.
Mar 16:5, Luk 24:3, Joh 20:11 -12, Mat 28:1 -2
see 223. (471)
231. (479) The men or angels inside the tomb were sitting / standing.
Mar 16:5, Joh 20:11 -12, Luk 24:3-4
They could've done both.
232. (480) The women were /were not told what happened to Jesus' body.
Mar 16:5 -6, Joh 20:2
see 223. (471)
233. (481) The women did / did not tell the disciples the tomb was empty.
Mat 28:8, Luk 24:9, Joh 20:2, Mar 16:8
see 223. (471)
234. (482) God / Jesus / The Spirit raised Jesus from the dead.
Act 2:32, Rom 8:11, Joh 2:19 -21
1 Joh 5:7. One God, Three Persons.
235. (495) Jesus did / did not allow believers to touch him before his ascension.
Mat 28:9, Luk 24:39, Joh 20:26 -27, 20:16 -17
I Found a possible and quite interesting explanation on the following site.
https://www.gotquestions.org/touch-Mary-Thomas.html
236. (498) The resurrected Jesus told his disciples to go to Galilee / stay in Jerusalem.
Mat 28:10, Luk 24:49
Please read the Context. The former was soon after he had risen, while the latter is shortly before he went to heaven. He was on earth for 40 days after he was risen.
237. (499) Jesus was / was not the first to rise from the dead.
Act 26:23, Rev 1:5, ( 1 Ki 17:22, 2Ki 4:32 -35, Luk 7:12 -15, Joh 11:43)
Jesus was the first to Receive a Glorified body, all others died again.
238. (506) There were about 120 / more than 500 believers after Jesus' ascension.
Act 1:15, 1Cor 15:4-7
All the believers weren't present in Acts 1.
239. (513) Paul received the Holy Ghost from God / Ananias.
Gal 1:15 -16, Act 9:17
God works through People.
240. (514) Paul was / was not recognized on sight by church members of Judea.
Act 21:15 -18, 22:3 -4, Gal 1:21 -22
He wasn't at First then later Was, things change with time.
241. (515) Paul did / did not visit all the disciples in Jerusalem after his conversion.
Act 9:26 -28, Gal 1:18 -19
Perhaps he was referring to at that time.
242. (516) Peter agreed / disagreed with Paul about the Gentiles and Jews.
Act 15:7 -11, Gal 2:11 -14
Peter knew better and was playing the hypocrite in Gal 2 for fear of them of the Circumcision.
243. (518) Paul baptized Stephanas' household only / many people.
1 Cor 1:16 -17, Act 16:14 -15, 16:27 -33, 18:8, 19:4 -5
Perhaps he forgot about those people, or he didn't baptized them Personally.
244. (523) Christ did / did not live within Paul.
Gal 2:20, Rom 7:18
I suggest Reading Romans 8:1 -14 to better understand what Paul was saying in Roman's ch. 7
245. (525) Paul did / did not obey the Holy Ghost.
Act 16:6, 19:8-10
The Prohibition was only temporary.
http://defendinginerrancy.com/bible-solutions/Acts_16.6.php
246. (528) Paul said sinners are of the devil / he is the chief sinner
1 Joh 3:8-9, 1Tim 1:15

247. (529) Paul said do /do not covet.
1 Co 12:31, 14:39, Rom 7:7, 13:9
We are Not to Covet our Neighbors Material goods, but we should covet Spiritual Gifts.
248. (532) Eutychus was dead / alive.
Act 20:9-10
He was either perceived to be dead or was Revived.
249. (534) Everyone is / is not descended from Adam and eve.
Gen 3:20, Heb 7:1-3
I think Melchisedec might have been a pre- Incarnation of Christ.
250. (535)
Adam / Satan was the father of Cain.
Gen 4:1, 1 Joh 3:12
Adam was the biological father but see Joh 8:44, 1 Jo 3:8.
251. (536) Enoch was the sixth / seventh generation from Adam.
Gen 5:3 -18, Jud 1:14
Jude was including Adam. does from = after?
252. (538) Salah's father was Arphaxad / Cainan.
Gen 10:24, 11:12, Luk 3:35 -36
Father could mean Ancestor.
253. (539) Lot was Abram's nephew / brother.
Gen 14:12, 14:14 -16
Brother doesn't always mean biologically. see Lev 19:17, Mat 12:50
254. (547) Zerubbabel had five / seven sons.
1 Chro 3:19 -20
Verse 20 was referring to another group, perhaps by another woman.
255. (557) Achan's father was Carmi / Zerah.
Josh 7:18, 7:24
father could mean Ancestor.
256. (559) Ner was Saul's uncle / grandfather.
1 Sam 14:50 -51, 1 Chro 9:35-39
It could be referring to 2 different people, or it could like be the same kind of thing that happened with Ruth and Boaz.
257. (562) Jesse had seven / eight sons.
1 Chro 2:13 -15, 1 Sam 17:12
Perhaps he lost one in War.
258. (566) Jeduthun had 5 / 6 sons.
1Chro 25:3
Maybe there was one in the Uterus, baby's are named after birth.
259. (568) Absalom had three / no sons.
2 Sam 14:27, 18:18
Maybe they died at infancy.
260. (570) Ahimelech was the father / son of Abiathar.
1 Sam 22:20, 2 Sam 8:17
People are named after their grandparents all the time.
261. - 262. (575 -76) Abijam's (Abijah's) mother was Maachah / Michaiah.
Abijam was Maachah's son / husband.
1Ki 15:1 -2, 2 Chro 11:18 -20, 13:1 -2 , 1 Ki 15:8-10, 2 Chro 15:16
People's names could be spelled slightly differently and it wouldn't be a contradiction. I'm going to guess that Maachah was Asa's grandmother but simply refereed to in scripture as mother, or that she was the grandaughter of Abishalom but just called daughter.
263. (585) The Zechariah stoned at the temple was the son of Jehoiada / Barachias.
2 Chro 24:2, :20 -21, Zech 1:1, Mat 23:35
There were two Zechariah's that both died in a similar fashion. It's not uncommon for two people who share a name to experience similiar events in life, Take our President Bush's of the USA for example both led their nation to war with Iraq, one in 1991 and the other in 2003.
https://answersingenesis.org/jesus-christ/jesus-is-god/was-jesus-wrong-about-zechariahs-father/
264. (592) Joseph's father was Jacob / Heli
Mat 1:16, Luk 3:23
Maybe Heli was Joseph's father in law.
265. (596) There is one / more than one god.
1 Cor 8:4, Exo 22:28, Psa 82:1, 1Cor 8:5
There is only One God (1 Cor 8:6). He is 3 Persons (1 Joh 5:7). There are false gods, also known as devils (Deut 32:17), which the gentiles sacrifice to (1Cor 10:20).
266. (598) God is material / immaterial.
Luke 24:39, Joh 4:24
He is both. He (referring to Jesus) took on flesh see 1 Tim 3:16, Col 1:15.
267. (605) those who seek early shall / shall not find God.
Pro 8:17, 1:28
Read the context. This is describing two different types of People those that hate wisdom and those that Love it.
268. (606) God is / is not the only holy one.
Rev 15:4, Lev 19:2, 20:7
Holiness is not just a possiblity for a Christian but a Requirment Heb 12:4, God is the only One who is inherently holy while we become holy through a relationship with His Son, and we only increase in practical Holiness as we mature spiritually. see also 1Pet 1:14 -16, 2Cor 7:1
https://www.gotquestions.org/being-holy.html
269. (608) God is / is not the only one who works wonders.
Psa 136:4, 2 Thess 2:9
Arn't you assuming great wonders is the same as lying wonders.
270. (610) Falling into the hand of God is / is not fearful.
Heb 10:31, 2 Sam 24:14
The two passages are talking about 2 different conditions. In david's case it was a matter of choosing is own punishment for his self acknowledged sin. Hebrews passage speaks of those who, far from being repentant, are people who have sinned willfully after having received the knowledge of the truth. So it depends on the condition of the person who falls in God's hands.
271. (611) God is / is not Merciful.
1Chro 16:34, Rom 12:19
He is Merciful but he won't force his mercy on you, you can choose to refuse his mercy, i call this opposing yourself. see Act 18:6, 2 Tim 2:25
272. (613) God is / is not a warrior.
Exo 15:3, Psa 24:8, Rom 15:33, 1 Cor 14:33
God gives peace to his sheep (Joh 14:27) ,
but reserves wrath to his enemies (Nah 1:2).
273. (622) God dwells in light / darkness.
1Tim 6:16, 1Kin 8:12
Both
274. (624) God dwells in Zion / heaven.
Psa 76:1, Joe 3:17, 3:21, Ecc 5:2
Both
275. (626) God did / did not dwell in Solomons Temple.
2Chro 7:12 -16, 1 Chro 17:4, Act 7:48
Read 2Chro 7:14. God is in heaven but God was roughly saying that he would be paying attention to the prayers that were made there and that he would put his name there.
276. (632) God does / does not know what is everyone's heart.
Act 1:24, Deu 8:2
God already knew what they would do but he led them through the wilderness to prove or test them.
http://defendinginerrancy.com/bible-solutions/Deuteronomy_8.2.php
277. (635) God is / is not Just.
Deu 32:4, Exo 20:5, 21:7, Num 11:1
None of those verses you mention proves or says God isn't Just. God can do to us whatever he pleases and he would be completly justified in doing so because he is our Creator and we have sinned against him.
278. (638) God does / does not withhold his blessings.
Isa 1:15, Mic 3:4, Jam 4:3, Luk 11:10, Jam 1:5
The context makes it clear that God doesn't hear their prayers because of their iniquity. see Psa 66:18, Joh 9:31. Another point read Luke clear down to verse 13 and James 1:5 was about wisdom, not referring to anything under the sun. You should ask according to his will 1 Joh 5:14.
279. (641) God does / does not tire.
Exo 31:17, Jer 15:6, Isa 40:28
God rested the 7th day not because he was tired but for an example for us to follow so we could have rest. In Jeremiah i don't think God meant weary in a literally sense of the word.
280. (646) God does / does not feed and care for all life.
Psa 145:15 -16, Deut 28:48
Does Psa 145:15 -16 say at all times, there are times when God graciously gives people food and there are instances when God sends famine to punish people for their iniquity.
281. (649) God is / is not the only savior.
Isa 43:11, Hos 13:4, Luk 2:11, Act 13:23
Jesus is God, so no contradiction. As a side not God sent Israel saviors in the book of Judges but they had help from the Spirit of the Lord, see
Nehe 9:27, Judg 3:10, 6:34, 11:29, 15:14.
282. (654) Jesus was / was not Perfect.
Heb 7:26, 1 Pe 1:19, Mar 8:23 -24, 10:18, Heb 5:9
Jesus was, is, and always will be perfect. In Mark 8 there must be a reason why he healed him the way he did, In ch. 10 notice that Jesus did not say he wasn't good. Heb 5:9 i am just guessing that it was about him finishing what he set out to do.
283. (655) Jesus was / was not without sin.
Heb 4:15, (2 Cor 5:21, Luk 11:27 -28, Mat 21:2-3, Joh 5:18, 9:4-14, Deut 6:5/ Mar 15:34, Mat 5:34, Mar 1:4-9)
1. It doesn't say Jesus himself ever sinned. 2. a) Honoring your Parents might only mean when your growing up. b) Jesus might have said that because he knew the Catholics would try to worship her. c) Mary Isn't the Mother of Christ's Divinity. 3. Jesus didn't steal the ass or the colt because he owns the whole universe. 4. Mark 2:27 -28, Mat 12:12. 5. Jesus it Quoting Psa 22 it doesn't mean he broke the commandment to love God.
6. Jesus fulfilled the law he didn't break it. 7. Jesus didn't get baptized to repent of sins but to be made manifest to Israel Joh 1:31.
284. (656) Jesus was / was not Created by God.
Joh 3:16, Heb 1:4, 2:9, Joh 1:1, 10:30, 14:9 -11
Jesus is both fully God and Fully Man. It was his Humanity that was created, not his Divinity.
285. (659) Jesus is / is not the light of the world.
Joh 9:3 -5, Mat 5:14
Believers are the light of the world because they have put on Christ Gal 3:27, have his Spirit Rom 8:9 and are members of his body Eph 5:30.
286. (661) Jesus is / is not the only immortal.
1Tim 6:14 -16, 1Cor 15:54
See previous question.
287. (666) Jesus is / is not merciful.
Luke 9:56, 19:10, Rev 6:16, 19:11 -15
He is both. Merciful to the saved, but gives the wicked what they deserve.
288. (667) Jesus / Men are the foundation for God's house.
1Cor 3:11, Eph 2:19 -22
The following site suggest that the passage in Ephesians isn't saying the Apostles / Prophets are the foundation but that the foundation in some way pertains or relates to them.
http://www.gospelway.com/topics/church/foundation-jesus-apostles.php
I Sugesst reading 1Cor 3:10 to get the context. I think the Apostles and Prophets laid the foundation which is Christ, like how a builder who lays a foundation isn't the foundation, yet it is said to be their foundation.
http://awildernessvoice.com/foundation.html
289. - 290. (668 -69) Jesus was high priest/ sacrifice / lion / lamb.
Heb 8:1, 9:26, Rev 5:5, Joh 1:36
He is All of those things.
291. (673) Jesus did / did not fear being killed.
Mat 12:14 -15, Joh 7:1, 8:59, 10:39, 11:53 -54, Mat 10:27 -28
I don't think he feared them. He was just avoiding them because his time was not yet. Jesus had planned when he would lay down his life and I would have been more concerned about any who would try to interfere with that.
292. (676) The Holy Spirit is divine / subordinate to God.
Act 5:3 -4, Joh 14:16 -17, 15:26, 16:13
Just because one member of the Godhead submits himself to another it doesn't make them any less God.
293. (677) The Holy Spirit was sent by God / Jesus / the apostles
Act 5:32, Joh 20:21 -22, Act 8:14 -17
By God through the apostles.
294. (678) Man is sanctified through truth / the Holy Spirit.
Joh 17:17, 1Pet 1:2
Both.
295. (679) You Receive the Holy Spirit by asking / a saved person lays hands on you.
Luk 11:13, Act 8:17 -19, 19:6
Both are True, the latter occurred in the Time of Acts, the former is for today.
296. (680) the law of God is / is not perfect.
Psa 19:7, Jam 1:25, Eze 20:25, Heb 7:19
The verse you mention in Ezek is not referring to God's law, Hebrews just says that the law made nothing perfect...it wasn't talking about the law itself not being perfect.
297. (681) God's law will / will not endure forever.
Mat 5:18, 1Pet 1:25, Eph 2:15, Col 2:13-14
The way i Understand it God's word is will last forever however that doesn't mean everything in the bible applies to us today. What i Believe is the till all be fulfilled of Mat 5:18 was referring to what Jesus did on the cross when he said It is finished see John 19:30. Gal 3:19.
http://jeffleake.typepad.com/the_launchpad/2010/12/which-laws-in-the-bible-still-apply-today.html
the above website distinguishes between which laws we are to still Observe and which ones are not necessary to observe.
1. Ceremonial - Provided details on how to offer sacrifices and what's involved in Celebrations and Holydays specific to the children of Israel.
(though these laws don't apply to us today they still teach us alot about the meaning behind the sacrifice of Christ)
2. Cultural laws - diet, hygiene, etc (though not binding on believers today they are still instructive and offer wisdom)
3. Moral laws - Against Child sacrifice, Homosexuality, Incest, etc (these are to be kept today)
298. (684) Those who fail to obey the law are / are not cursed.
Deut 27:26, Jere 11:3, Gal 3:10 -14
Read the entire Chapter on Gal to get the Context.
Jesus was the only one who kept the whole Law and everyone else was cursed because they didn't, but he took our punishment. Everyone who repents of their sins and trust in him will have eternal life, and are no longer cursed. I suggest reading Rom 3 as well.
299. (691) It is / is not wrong to worship anyone but God.
Exo 20:3, Isa 45:23, Josh 5:13 -14, Phili 2:10
Jesus is God so Phili is invalid. Answering Joshua is a bit more difficult i am guessing that the captain of the Lords host was a manifestation of God himself, notice what he says in verse 15 and compare it to Exo 3:5.
300. (692) We should / should not obey only God.
Act 5:29, Eph 6:5
We are to Obey the Higher Powers unless they tell us to do something that God doesn't want us to do.
1-100 101-200 201-300 301-400 401+
Gen 5:3 -18, Jud 1:14
Jude was including Adam. does from = after?
252. (538) Salah's father was Arphaxad / Cainan.
Gen 10:24, 11:12, Luk 3:35 -36
Father could mean Ancestor.
253. (539) Lot was Abram's nephew / brother.
Gen 14:12, 14:14 -16
Brother doesn't always mean biologically. see Lev 19:17, Mat 12:50
254. (547) Zerubbabel had five / seven sons.
1 Chro 3:19 -20
Verse 20 was referring to another group, perhaps by another woman.
255. (557) Achan's father was Carmi / Zerah.
Josh 7:18, 7:24
father could mean Ancestor.
256. (559) Ner was Saul's uncle / grandfather.
1 Sam 14:50 -51, 1 Chro 9:35-39
It could be referring to 2 different people, or it could like be the same kind of thing that happened with Ruth and Boaz.
257. (562) Jesse had seven / eight sons.
1 Chro 2:13 -15, 1 Sam 17:12
Perhaps he lost one in War.
258. (566) Jeduthun had 5 / 6 sons.
1Chro 25:3
Maybe there was one in the Uterus, baby's are named after birth.
259. (568) Absalom had three / no sons.
2 Sam 14:27, 18:18
Maybe they died at infancy.
260. (570) Ahimelech was the father / son of Abiathar.
1 Sam 22:20, 2 Sam 8:17
People are named after their grandparents all the time.
261. - 262. (575 -76) Abijam's (Abijah's) mother was Maachah / Michaiah.
Abijam was Maachah's son / husband.
1Ki 15:1 -2, 2 Chro 11:18 -20, 13:1 -2 , 1 Ki 15:8-10, 2 Chro 15:16
People's names could be spelled slightly differently and it wouldn't be a contradiction. I'm going to guess that Maachah was Asa's grandmother but simply refereed to in scripture as mother, or that she was the grandaughter of Abishalom but just called daughter.
263. (585) The Zechariah stoned at the temple was the son of Jehoiada / Barachias.
2 Chro 24:2, :20 -21, Zech 1:1, Mat 23:35
There were two Zechariah's that both died in a similar fashion. It's not uncommon for two people who share a name to experience similiar events in life, Take our President Bush's of the USA for example both led their nation to war with Iraq, one in 1991 and the other in 2003.
https://answersingenesis.org/jesus-christ/jesus-is-god/was-jesus-wrong-about-zechariahs-father/
264. (592) Joseph's father was Jacob / Heli
Mat 1:16, Luk 3:23
Maybe Heli was Joseph's father in law.
265. (596) There is one / more than one god.
1 Cor 8:4, Exo 22:28, Psa 82:1, 1Cor 8:5
There is only One God (1 Cor 8:6). He is 3 Persons (1 Joh 5:7). There are false gods, also known as devils (Deut 32:17), which the gentiles sacrifice to (1Cor 10:20).
266. (598) God is material / immaterial.
Luke 24:39, Joh 4:24
He is both. He (referring to Jesus) took on flesh see 1 Tim 3:16, Col 1:15.
267. (605) those who seek early shall / shall not find God.
Pro 8:17, 1:28
Read the context. This is describing two different types of People those that hate wisdom and those that Love it.
268. (606) God is / is not the only holy one.
Rev 15:4, Lev 19:2, 20:7
Holiness is not just a possiblity for a Christian but a Requirment Heb 12:4, God is the only One who is inherently holy while we become holy through a relationship with His Son, and we only increase in practical Holiness as we mature spiritually. see also 1Pet 1:14 -16, 2Cor 7:1
https://www.gotquestions.org/being-holy.html
269. (608) God is / is not the only one who works wonders.
Psa 136:4, 2 Thess 2:9
Arn't you assuming great wonders is the same as lying wonders.
270. (610) Falling into the hand of God is / is not fearful.
Heb 10:31, 2 Sam 24:14
The two passages are talking about 2 different conditions. In david's case it was a matter of choosing is own punishment for his self acknowledged sin. Hebrews passage speaks of those who, far from being repentant, are people who have sinned willfully after having received the knowledge of the truth. So it depends on the condition of the person who falls in God's hands.
271. (611) God is / is not Merciful.
1Chro 16:34, Rom 12:19
He is Merciful but he won't force his mercy on you, you can choose to refuse his mercy, i call this opposing yourself. see Act 18:6, 2 Tim 2:25
272. (613) God is / is not a warrior.
Exo 15:3, Psa 24:8, Rom 15:33, 1 Cor 14:33
God gives peace to his sheep (Joh 14:27) ,
but reserves wrath to his enemies (Nah 1:2).
273. (622) God dwells in light / darkness.
1Tim 6:16, 1Kin 8:12
Both
274. (624) God dwells in Zion / heaven.
Psa 76:1, Joe 3:17, 3:21, Ecc 5:2
Both
275. (626) God did / did not dwell in Solomons Temple.
2Chro 7:12 -16, 1 Chro 17:4, Act 7:48
Read 2Chro 7:14. God is in heaven but God was roughly saying that he would be paying attention to the prayers that were made there and that he would put his name there.
276. (632) God does / does not know what is everyone's heart.
Act 1:24, Deu 8:2
God already knew what they would do but he led them through the wilderness to prove or test them.
http://defendinginerrancy.com/bible-solutions/Deuteronomy_8.2.php
277. (635) God is / is not Just.
Deu 32:4, Exo 20:5, 21:7, Num 11:1
None of those verses you mention proves or says God isn't Just. God can do to us whatever he pleases and he would be completly justified in doing so because he is our Creator and we have sinned against him.
278. (638) God does / does not withhold his blessings.
Isa 1:15, Mic 3:4, Jam 4:3, Luk 11:10, Jam 1:5
The context makes it clear that God doesn't hear their prayers because of their iniquity. see Psa 66:18, Joh 9:31. Another point read Luke clear down to verse 13 and James 1:5 was about wisdom, not referring to anything under the sun. You should ask according to his will 1 Joh 5:14.
279. (641) God does / does not tire.
Exo 31:17, Jer 15:6, Isa 40:28
God rested the 7th day not because he was tired but for an example for us to follow so we could have rest. In Jeremiah i don't think God meant weary in a literally sense of the word.
280. (646) God does / does not feed and care for all life.
Psa 145:15 -16, Deut 28:48
Does Psa 145:15 -16 say at all times, there are times when God graciously gives people food and there are instances when God sends famine to punish people for their iniquity.
281. (649) God is / is not the only savior.
Isa 43:11, Hos 13:4, Luk 2:11, Act 13:23
Jesus is God, so no contradiction. As a side not God sent Israel saviors in the book of Judges but they had help from the Spirit of the Lord, see
Nehe 9:27, Judg 3:10, 6:34, 11:29, 15:14.
282. (654) Jesus was / was not Perfect.
Heb 7:26, 1 Pe 1:19, Mar 8:23 -24, 10:18, Heb 5:9
Jesus was, is, and always will be perfect. In Mark 8 there must be a reason why he healed him the way he did, In ch. 10 notice that Jesus did not say he wasn't good. Heb 5:9 i am just guessing that it was about him finishing what he set out to do.
283. (655) Jesus was / was not without sin.
Heb 4:15, (2 Cor 5:21, Luk 11:27 -28, Mat 21:2-3, Joh 5:18, 9:4-14, Deut 6:5/ Mar 15:34, Mat 5:34, Mar 1:4-9)
1. It doesn't say Jesus himself ever sinned. 2. a) Honoring your Parents might only mean when your growing up. b) Jesus might have said that because he knew the Catholics would try to worship her. c) Mary Isn't the Mother of Christ's Divinity. 3. Jesus didn't steal the ass or the colt because he owns the whole universe. 4. Mark 2:27 -28, Mat 12:12. 5. Jesus it Quoting Psa 22 it doesn't mean he broke the commandment to love God.
6. Jesus fulfilled the law he didn't break it. 7. Jesus didn't get baptized to repent of sins but to be made manifest to Israel Joh 1:31.
284. (656) Jesus was / was not Created by God.
Joh 3:16, Heb 1:4, 2:9, Joh 1:1, 10:30, 14:9 -11
Jesus is both fully God and Fully Man. It was his Humanity that was created, not his Divinity.
285. (659) Jesus is / is not the light of the world.
Joh 9:3 -5, Mat 5:14
Believers are the light of the world because they have put on Christ Gal 3:27, have his Spirit Rom 8:9 and are members of his body Eph 5:30.
286. (661) Jesus is / is not the only immortal.
1Tim 6:14 -16, 1Cor 15:54
See previous question.
287. (666) Jesus is / is not merciful.
Luke 9:56, 19:10, Rev 6:16, 19:11 -15
He is both. Merciful to the saved, but gives the wicked what they deserve.
288. (667) Jesus / Men are the foundation for God's house.
1Cor 3:11, Eph 2:19 -22
The following site suggest that the passage in Ephesians isn't saying the Apostles / Prophets are the foundation but that the foundation in some way pertains or relates to them.
http://www.gospelway.com/topics/church/foundation-jesus-apostles.php
I Sugesst reading 1Cor 3:10 to get the context. I think the Apostles and Prophets laid the foundation which is Christ, like how a builder who lays a foundation isn't the foundation, yet it is said to be their foundation.
http://awildernessvoice.com/foundation.html
289. - 290. (668 -69) Jesus was high priest/ sacrifice / lion / lamb.
Heb 8:1, 9:26, Rev 5:5, Joh 1:36
He is All of those things.
291. (673) Jesus did / did not fear being killed.
Mat 12:14 -15, Joh 7:1, 8:59, 10:39, 11:53 -54, Mat 10:27 -28
I don't think he feared them. He was just avoiding them because his time was not yet. Jesus had planned when he would lay down his life and I would have been more concerned about any who would try to interfere with that.
292. (676) The Holy Spirit is divine / subordinate to God.
Act 5:3 -4, Joh 14:16 -17, 15:26, 16:13
Just because one member of the Godhead submits himself to another it doesn't make them any less God.
293. (677) The Holy Spirit was sent by God / Jesus / the apostles
Act 5:32, Joh 20:21 -22, Act 8:14 -17
By God through the apostles.
294. (678) Man is sanctified through truth / the Holy Spirit.
Joh 17:17, 1Pet 1:2
Both.
295. (679) You Receive the Holy Spirit by asking / a saved person lays hands on you.
Luk 11:13, Act 8:17 -19, 19:6
Both are True, the latter occurred in the Time of Acts, the former is for today.
296. (680) the law of God is / is not perfect.
Psa 19:7, Jam 1:25, Eze 20:25, Heb 7:19
The verse you mention in Ezek is not referring to God's law, Hebrews just says that the law made nothing perfect...it wasn't talking about the law itself not being perfect.
297. (681) God's law will / will not endure forever.
Mat 5:18, 1Pet 1:25, Eph 2:15, Col 2:13-14
The way i Understand it God's word is will last forever however that doesn't mean everything in the bible applies to us today. What i Believe is the till all be fulfilled of Mat 5:18 was referring to what Jesus did on the cross when he said It is finished see John 19:30. Gal 3:19.

300. (692) We should / should not obey only God.

We are to Obey the Higher Powers unless they tell us to do something that God doesn't want us to do.
