Let me start out by saying the Bible is the Greatest and most trustworthy book ever written. It was written and assembled over a period of 4000 years and covers a variety of topics but is primarily about the fall of mankind and how God redeems his creation and defeats sin and evil.
Still there are many people out there who don't trust God's word and take great pains trying to debunk it. In this post we are going to look at a few of these arguments.
The following Comments from Someone on You tube Claiming the Bible has Contradictions, followed by my Responses in Bold which are fallible.
I Got this Guy's Comments from a Youtube video titled 6 Baffling Bible Contradictions. Also i Don't know if he using the KJV for his bible verses so be on guard in that respect too. I also cannot attest to the accuracy of the Scriptural Chapter and Verse references but I am assuming they are correct.
Sawt Alquran1 week ago
441. GE 1:3-5 On the first day, God created light, then separated light and darkness.
GE 1:14-19 The sun (which separates night and day) wasn't created until the fourth day.
You are Forgetting That God is Light and that we won't need the light of the Sun in the hereafter see (1JO 1:5 and Rev 22:5
442. GE 1:24-27 Animals were created before man was created.
GE 2:7, 19 Man was created before animals were created.
Genesis 1 details the Creation week whilst some of Ch. 2 details what happened in the Garden of Eden, God could have simply recreated 1 or more of each of the animals after forming Adam and brought them to him.
443. GE 1:26 Man is to have dominion over fish, birds, cattle, and all wild animals, yet--
GE 2:15-17 It is wrong to be able to tell good from evil, right from wrong.
Just because you don't know wright from wrong doesn't mean you can't care for animals.
Is was not wrong to be able to tell good from evil but to disobey God and eat of that tree.
444. GE 1:26-27 Man and woman were created at the same time.
GE 2:7, 21-22 Man was created first, woman sometime later.
They were both made on day six but eve was made after adam no contradiction.
445 GE 1:28 God encourages reproduction.
LE 12:1-8 God requires purification rites following childbirth which, in effect, makes childbirth a sin. (Note: The period for purification following the birth of a daughter is twice that for a son.)
unclean doesn't necessarily = Having committed Sin. In Num 19 the Priest who are carrying out God's order (it was about sacrificing a heifer) became unclean until the even, and later on in the chapter it roughly says one can become unclean simply by going into a dead man's tent. Lev 13 Lepers are pronounced unclean. Ch. 14 deals with their offerings. So Just because a woman had a baby and is pronounced unclean and made an offering it doesn't mean she sinned.
446 GE 1:31 God was pleased with his creation.
GE 6:5-6 God was not pleased with his creation.
(Note: That God should be displeased is inconsistent with the concept of omniscience as well as with the fact that God allegedly does not change his mind: NU 23:19-20, 1SA 15:29, JA 1:17.)
The Fact that God was pleased with his Creation before sin entered in Gen 1 and that he was not Pleased once sin entered and he saw how wicked man had become makes perfect sense. Even though he knew man would rebel against him they could not truly love him without given the choice to via free will.
447 GE 2:4, 4:26, 12:8, 22:14-16, 26:25 God was already known as "the Lord" (Jahveh or Jehovah) much earlier than the time of Moses.
EX 6:2-3 God was first known as "the Lord" (Jahveh or Jehovah) at the time of the Egyptian Bondage, during the life of Moses.
This would seem to be a contradiction in newer versions but KJV says Jehovah not Lord arn't you assuming Jehovah means Lord?
448 GE 2:17 Adam was to die the very day that he ate the forbidden fruit.
GE 5:5 Adam lived 930 years.
The Death God was referring to was a spiritual death or separation from God and adam did indeed die later as a result
449 GE 2:15-17, 3:4-6 It is wrong to want to be able to tell good from evil.
HE 5:13-14 It is immature to be unable to tell good from evil.
It is not wrong to want to be able to tell good from evil it was wrong to eat the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil because the Lord told them not too. the Sin was the disobedience. Now that we know good from evil we are responsible to discern good from evil.
450 GE 4:4-5 God prefers Abel's offering and has no regard for Cain's.
That simply means Cain was doing it wrong somehow. see gen 4:6-7. My guess is that he didn't offer the best of his harvest. similar to how later on in the bible it speaks of not offering animals that have blemishes or defects. Maybe it was because his offering didn't have blood see Heb 9:22.
451 GE 4:9 God asks Cain where his brother Able is.
PR 15:3, JE 16:17, 23:24-25, HE 4:13 God is everywhere. He sees everything. Nothing is hidden from his view.
Ever heard of a Rhetorical Question? Of coarse he knew what happened he basically told Cain his brothers blood cried to him from out of the ground, maybe he was giving him a chance to confess
2SA 22:7-8 (KJV) "I called to the Lord; ... he heard my voice; ... The earth trembled and quaked, ... because he was angry. Smoke came from his nostrils. Consuming fire came from his mouth, burning coals blazed out of it."
EZ 6:12, NA 1:2, 6 God is jealous and furious. He reserves wrath for, and takes revenge on, his enemies. "... who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? His fury is poured out like fire, and rocks are thrown down by him."
2CO 13:11, 14, 1JN 4:8, 16 God is love.
Sure God is Love and long suffering and merciful but he is also just and if you keep on rebelling against him he has every right as Creator to take vengeance on his enemies and to slay you for your wickedness.
453 GE 4:16 Cain went away (or out) from the presence of the Lord.
JE 23:23-24 A man cannot hide from God. God fills heaven and earth.
It was referring to God's limited visual presence. see Gen 3:8 , Exo 33:23, Heb 1:3
454GE 6:3 The Lord said, "My spirit will not be in man forever, for he is only flesh; so the days of his life will be a hundred and twenty years."
GE 9:29 Noah lived nine hnndred and fifty years.
My Guess is that it was either referring to the # of years until the flood Occured or God was referring to future Generations again not a Contradiction.
455 GE 6:4 There were Nephilim (giants) before the Flood.
GE 7:21 All creatures other than Noah and his clan were annihilated by the Flood.
NU 13:33 There were Nephilim after the Flood.
First of all it wasn't Nephillim it was Giants use a real bible (kjv). Second it simple means Noah family had the Genes that could cause Giant-ism.
GE 7:2-5 Seven pairs of some kinds are to be taken, and are taken, aboard the Ark.
2 Pairs of every unclean and 7 pairs of clean wheres the contradiction
457 GE 7:1 Noah was righteous.
JB 1:1,8, JB 2:3 Job was righteous.
LK 1:6 Zechariah and Elizabeth were righteous.
JA 5:16 Some men are righteous, (which makes their prayers effective).
1JN 3:6-9 Christians become righteous (or else they are not really Christians).
Righteous will mean different things depending on the context in which it is used.
For Christians see Phili 3:9, Joh 15:4- 5.
458 GE 7:7 Noah and his clan enter the Ark.
GE 7:13 They enter the Ark (again?).
That's Just Reiteration.
459 GE 11:7-9 God sows discord.
PR 6:16-19 God hates anyone who sows discord.
Changing the Language is not the same as sowing discord. Thou shalt not bear false witness.
460 GE 11:9 At Babel, the Lord confused the language of the whole world.
1CO 14:33 Paul says that God is not the author of confusion.
1. Satan told the first lie wouldn't that make him the Author of Confusion?
2. Another possible explanation is that Paul was referring to confusion in the Church
461 GE 11:12 Arpachshad [Arphaxad] was the father of Shelah.
The bible uses the word father or fathers when referring to Ancestors it's not a contradiction.
It's the same way with Son's they might not be the actual son but a descendant. See Matt 1:1
462 GE 11:26 Terah was 70 years old when his son Abram was born.
GE 11:32 Terah was 205 years old when he died (making Abram 135 at the time).
GE 12:4, AC 7:4 Abram was 75 when he left Haran. This was after Terah died. Thus, Terah could have been no more than 145 when he died; or Abram was only 75 years old after he had lived 135 years.
The bible does not say Abram left after Terah died, in fact he was told to leave his country/kindred/and FATHERS HOUSE so...
463 GE 12:7, 17:1, 18:1, 26:2, 32:30, EX 3:16, 6:2-3, 24:9-11, 33:11, NU 12:7-8, 14:14, JB 42:5, AM 7:7-8, 9:1 God is seen.
EX 33:20, JN 1:18, 1JN 4:12 God is not seen. No one can see God's face and live. No one has ever seen him.
Although they saw God they didn't see his similiatude but rather fire. Exo 24:17 and Deu 4:12, 4:15. Also God is 3 Persons so if you have seen one it doesn't mean you have seen all three does it? they might have seen a manifestation of God but not in his full Glory.
464 GE 10:5, 20, 31 There were many languages before the Tower of Babel.
GE 11:1 There was only one language before the Tower of Babel.
Genises 10 was detailing events that would transpire after Genisis 11 hence no contradiction.
JE 7:21-22 God says he did no such thing.
Read JE 7:23 as well, God was saying that he wanted Obedience rather than Sacrifice, remember to obey is better that sacrifice see 1 Sam 15:22
467 GE 17:1, 35:11, 1CH 29:11-12, LK 1:37 God is omnipotent. Nothing is impossible with (or for) God.
JG 1:19 Although God was with Judah, together they could not defeat the plainsmen because the latter had iron chariots.
Notice is says he (which i think was referring to Judah) couldn't . If you read the rest of Ch. 1 of Judges you see the children of Israel refusing to drive out the inhabitants of the land and thus ch. 2:1-3 God wouldn't drive them out from before them.
468 GE 17:7, 10-11 The covenant of circumcision is to be everlasting.
Circumcision was under the old Testament and was between God and Abraham and his seed. Paul was an apostle to the Gentiles under the New Testament, and as such circumcision is not required for Salvation. see also 1 Co 7:19 and Rom 11:13. Does everlasting mean you need to do it to be Saved?
469 GE 17:15-16, 20:11-12, 22:17 Abraham and his half sister, Sarai, are married and receive God's blessings.
Incest Wasn't Wrong in the Beginning because our Genes wern't deteriorated enough to the point where marrying close family would cause birth defects in the Children.
470 GE 18:20-21 God decides to "go down" to see what is going on.
PR 15:3, JE 16:17, 23:24-25, HE 4:13 God is everywhere. He sees everything. Nothing is hidden from his view.
Just because God already knows what went down doesn't mean he cant go there and check it out. Remember when he went and Questioned Adam and Cain also.
471 GE 19:30-38 While he is drunk, Lot's two daughters "lie with him," become pregnant, and give birth to his offspring.
2PE 2:7 Lot was "just" and "righteous."
It wasn't lots idea to get drunk, his daughter made him drink and plus he didn't even know that they had sex with him when it happened, it seems to me it was kinda like rape. Also remember incest wasn't forbidden yet.
472 GE 22:1-12, DT 8:2 God tempts (tests) Abraham and Moses.
JG 2:22 God himself says that he does test (tempt).
1CO 10:13 Paul says that God controls the extent of our temptations.
JA 1:13 God tests (tempts) no one.
There are two kinds of temptations 1. This kind is more like a test / trial God gives us to prove us, its unavoidable, it produces patience and the endurance of which results in getting the crown of life. see Jam 1:1-12 for a better explanation 2. This is the temptation "with evil" that comes not from God but from our own lust which when conceived brings forth sin, and when that is finish results in death. see Jam 1:13 -16 for a better explanation.
473 GE 27:28 "May God give you ... an abundance of grain and new wine."
DT 7:13 If they follow his commandments, God will bless the fruit of their wine.
PS 104:15 God gives us wine to gladden the heart.
JN 2:1-11 According to the author of John, Jesus' first miracle was turning water to wine.
Yea if it causes your brother to stumble/offended/made weak...read the context. It's drunkenness that is a sin not drinking.
474 GE 35:10 God says Jacob is to be called Jacob no longer; henceforth his name is Israel.
GE 46:2 At a later time, God himself uses the name Jacob.
God wasn't saying Jacob Himself wouldn't be called Jacob from that point on because he obviously was, but that his name (or reputation) would be called Israel (a prince with God) instead of Jacob (trickster). Name does't always refer to a literal title but how one is perceived. so his reputation is what changed from that point on and although it was a title change too it wasn't to be a full replacement for the title of Jacob. see Pro 22:1
If they leave a few sons out or add some it's not a contradiction.
476GE 49:2-28 The fathers of the twelve tribes of Israel are: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Zebulun, Issachar, Dan, Gad, Asher, Naphtali, Joseph, and Benjamin.
RE 7:4-8 (Leaves out the tribe of Dan, but adds Manasseh.)
It might be because of their gross Idolatry that they committed is why they are not listed. Judg 18: , 1 King 12:27-30, and Amos 8:11-14, see Rev 7:3
477GE 50:13 Jacob was buried in a cave at Machpelah bought from Ephron the Hittite.
Here are 3 of my Guesses 1. they simply moved his bones or 2. he was buried on the border between Machpelah and Shechem they are in close proximity of each other, so both are correct. 3. the land was captured by Shechem and Jacob had to repurchase the site so just the name of the place was changed from Machpelah to Shechem. see also Gen 23:5-9, 33:17-19.
478 EX 3:1 Jethro was the father-in-law of Moses.
1. People can have more than one name. 2. Maybe Hobab was his actual father in law and Raguel was his Grand Father in law.
479 EX 3:20-22, DT 20:13-17 God instructs the Israelites to despoil the Egyptians, to plunder their enemies.
The Israelites asked for those things so you can't call it stealing.
also when the African Americans demanded re-compensation for their history of slavery where they robbing the whites? The Rules for War are different than that of regular Society.
You must realize we live in a fallen world and we don't Get our glorified bodies until the Resurrection, being handicapped isn't the most convenient of things but we are taught to Glory in our infirmities, because we are to follow Paul. Phili 3:20 -21, 2 Cor 11:30, 12:7-10. see also Isa 45:9, Rom 9:20
481 EX 9:3-6 God destroys all the cattle (including horses) belonging to the Egyptians.
EX 9:9-11 The people and the cattle are afflicted with boils.
EX 12:12, 29 All the first-born of the cattle of the Egyptians are destroyed.
EX 14:9 After having all their cattle destroyed, then afflicted with boils, and then their first-born cattle destroyed, the Egyptians pursue Moses on horseback.
1. You are assuming all the plagues happened all within a short time of one another, if there were weeks or months in between some of the plagues Pharaoh could have gotten more animals by trade, raiding other nations, or he could have took some from the Israelites. 2. could all cattle 9:3-6 be referring to just the ones in the field and not the ones in the stall? 3. Is it possible the cattle didn't include the horses
482 EX 12:13 The Israelites have to mark their houses with blood in order for God to see which houses they occupy and "pass over" them.
You need to understand one of the reasons God did it this way was because it was a foreshadowing of Christ. Christ is our Passover and we are covered by his blood so God doesn't poor out his wrath on us. 1Co 5:7, Col 1:14, 1Th 5:9. God didn't need them to do that for him to know where they are.
483 EX 12:37, NU 1:45-46 The number of men of military age who take part in the Exodus is given as more than 600,000. Allowing for women, children, and older men would probably mean that a total of about 2,000,000 Israelites left Egypt.
1KI 20:15 All the Israelites, including children, number only 7000 at a later time.
Read the whole Chapter and you while find out they were besieged meaning that they were surrounded by the army so the 7000 could only mean the people within the city and in light of verse 14 i am guessing the 7000 was referring to soldiers for battle.
He is Both, no Contradiction
485 EX 20:1-17 God gave the law directly to Moses (without using an intermediary).
GA 3:19 The law was ordained through angels by a mediator (an intermediary).
Just Because Exodus doesn't mention an intermediary or angels it doesn't mean they didn't play a role.
486 EX 20:4 God prohibits the making of any graven images whatsoever.
EX 25:18 God enjoins the making of two graven images.
EX 20:4 was telling you not to make unto thee (aka yourself) any graven image whereas in ch. 25 they were making it for the Lord (aka God told them to make it). They weren't worshiping it.
Children are not to be put to death for their parents sins and vice versa, we are not to kill them. yet Couldn't God punish the Granfather causing the son's and grandson's to be impoverished also be an example of Exo 20:5 and Deu 5:9.
488EX 20:8-11, 31:15-17, 35:1-3 No work is to be done on the Sabbath, not even lighting a fire. The commandment is permanent, and death is required for infractions.
MK 2:27-28 Jesus says that the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath (after his disciples were criticized for breaking the Sabbath).
RO 14:5, CN 2:14-16 Paul says the Sabbath commandment was temporary, and to decide for yourself regarding its observance.
Jesus Disciples were accused of breaking the Sabbath, it doesn't mean they actually did. Just because there are difference between the old and new testament doesn't = contradiction. hence new testament.
489 EX 20:12, DT 5:16, MT 15:4, 19:19, MK 7:10, 10:19, LK 18:20 Honor your father and your mother is one of the ten commandments. It is reinforced by Jesus.
MT 10:35-37, LK 12:51-53, 14:26 Jesus says that he has come to divide families; that a man's foes will be those of his own household; that you must hate your father, mother, wife, children, brothers, sisters, and even your own life to be a disciple.
MT 23:9 Jesus says to call no man on earth your father.
Division of families is unavoidable because not everyone in the family is going to follow Jesus hence the family will have to be divided into Christians and non-Christians. When you compare Mt 10:37 to Lk 14:26 you easily realize that Christ doesn't want you to Prefer your parent's or family over him which makes sense since he is God in the Flesh.
GE 34:1-35:5 God condones trickery and killing.
2KI 19:35 An angel of the Lord slaughters 185,000 men.
(Note: See Atrocities section for many more examples.)
The bible never says that God Condoned the Trickery of Gen 34.
God doesn't Prohibit the Killing of the Guilty or in war rather its the shedding of innocent blood that God hates. God can kill who he wants it's not murder, they are his creation.
491 EX 20:14 God prohibits adultery.
HO 1:2 God instructs Hosea to "take a wife of harlotry."
God never told Hosea or Gomer to commit adultry. God just knew that she either had committed or she would commit whoredom, Their marriage represented the relationship between God and Israel and how they cheated on God with their idols.
You do know there are some differences between the old and new testaments don't you?
493EX 23:7 God prohibits the killing of the innocent.
NU 31:17-18, DT 7:2, JS 6:21-27, 7:19-26, 8:22-25, 10:20, 40, 11:8-15, 20, JG 11:30-39, 21:10-12, 1SA 15:3 God orders or approves the complete extermination of groups of people which include innocent women and/or children.
(Note: See Atrocities section for many other examples of the killing of innocents.)
God ordered the children of Israel to drive out / destroy those 7 Nations because they were reprobate and wicked. They were commiting such crimes as Beastiality, Homosexuality, Murdering their innocent Children by causing them to pass through the fire to Moloch, and consulting those with Familiar Spirits, Witches, Wizards, Necromancers etc. And if God would allowed them to stay they would have Caused Israel to Go a Whoring after their Gods. Plus who told you that those women were innocent are you saying they were sinless and unworthy of death? HA. GIMME A BREAK. Also the rules for war is different than regular Society.
494 EX 34:6, DT 7:9-10, TS 1:2 God is faithful and truthful. He does not lie.
NU 14:30 God breaks his promise.
God didn't Break his Promise he Postponed it until the Rebellious people who complained and disobeyed him even though they saw all those Great Miracles died.
495 EX 34:6, DT 7:9-10, TS 1:2 God is faithful and truthful. He does not lie.
1KI 22:21-23 God condones a spirit of deception.
Just because God let that spirit do that it doesn't mean God himself Lies or that he condoned it, God also allows people to lie by giving them free will but it does'nt mean He wants them to lie. Remember the Prophet Micaiah told him they were false prophets but he wouldn't hearken.
There will always be an earth the old one will pass away but it will be replaced by a new one.
497 PR 3:13, 4:7, 19:8, JA 1:5 Happy is the man who finds wisdom. Get wisdom.
There are Two kinds of wisdom it's talking about. There is the Wisdom of the World which is Foolishness see 1 Co 3:19, a prime example of this is Darwinian Evolution see Psa 14:1.
Then there is true wisdom which is the fear of the Lord see Job 28:28.
Another example of 2 kinds of Wisdom is James 3:13-17
498 PR 12:2, RO 8:28 A good man obtains favor from the Lord.
2TI 3:12, HE 12:6 The godly will be persecuted.
Both statements are True although they are not a Contradiction. see luke 6:22, Jam 4:4
499 PR 14:8 The wisdom of a prudent man is to discern his way.
MT 6:25-34 Take no thought for tomorrow. God will take care of you.
These do not Contradict at all in Matthew he is telling you not to worry about food and clothing but seek after the kingdom of God and his righteousness. That verse in Proverbs (KJV) mentions wisdom and understanding see Job 28:28. Worrying and Making Plans are not the same thing.
500 PR 14:15-18 The simple believe everything and acquire folly; the prudent look where they are going and are crowned with knowledge.
Proverbs is talking about knowledge/wisdom whilst the Gospels were referring to faith/trust in God.
501 1CO 1:20, 27 God has made the wisdom of the world foolish so as to shame the wise.
PR 16:4 God made the wicked for the "day of evil."
1TI 2:3-4, 2PE 3:9 [Yet] God wants all to be saved.
God knows who will be saved from the beginning.
God does want all to be saved but when they don't want salvation and continue to reject it God lets them have their way.
He will send you a delusion because you wouldn't receive the love of the truth. (2TH 2:10)
At least that's how i understand it.
502 PR 8:13, 16:6 It is the fear of God that keeps men from evil.
1JN 5:2, 2JN 1:6 Those who love God keep his commandments.
I Think 1 JN 4:18 is referring to fearing Men, we are to fear God. see Luk 12:4-5, 1Pe 2:17
503 PR 26:4 Do not answer a fool. To do so makes you foolish too.
PR 26:5 Answer a fool. If you don't, he will think himself wise.
These are complimentary not contradictory they describe two ways to interact with a fool according to the situation. If the fool just wants to argue/debate you and does not want to be taught, you shouldn't stoop down to their level. the Second way is to answer him by showing him the error of his reasoning so that he isn't wise in his conceit. the wisdom is to know when to implement the one or the other.
504 PR 30:5 Every word of God proves true.
JE 8:8 The scribes falsify the word of God.
(Note: Some versions translate deceive as "persuade." The context makes clear, however, that deception is involved.)
Your Using the wrong translation for Jeremiah 8:8 it is vain not falsify, like how God preserved his word yet the people still ignore it. About the verses claiming that God deceives people, its only after the people have rejected the truth or have set up idols in their heart, etc. God just gives them what they want. when you reject truth all that you are left with is a lie. The deception was a Judgment to the wicked. For another Explaination visit
In Jeremiah 20:7 i think Jeremiah was just complaining or misunderstood God. Notice In 20:2 Jeremiah was put in the stocks, did God promise that Jeremiah wouldn't be imprisoned or that he would be delivered?
506 IS 44:24 God created heaven and earth alone.
JN 1:1-3 Jesus took part in creation.
Jesus is God.
507 IS 53:9 Usually taken to be a prophecy re: Jesus, mentions burial with others.
Could it be that he was buried by himself but surrounded by other tombs?
508 JE 12:13 Some sow wheat but reap thorns.
2CO 9:6, GA 6:7 A man reaps what he sows.
The last 2 verses explain the first 2 verses. Because of man's wickedness they sow but reap thorns or nothing at all. the Verses in Mat. and Luk. unless i am mistaken are referring to the Lord so it doesn't apply to him.
509 JE 32:18 God shows love to thousands, but brings punishment for the sins of their fathers to many children.
If God punishes a wicked man by sending famine to his house of course his children will have to suffer as well, if God gave the children food and not the fathers the fathers would probably steal their children's food and let them starve, which would indeed be worse.
510 JE 34:4-5 Zedekiah was to die in peace.
JE 52:10-11 Instead, Zedekaih's sons are slain before his eyes, his eyes are then put out, he is bound in fetters, taken to Babylon and left in prison to die.
Just because your in Prison doesn't mean your not at peace in your soul.
511 EZ 20:25-26 The law was not good. The sacrifice of children was for the purpose of horrifying the people so that they would know that God is Lord.
The Law that it Mentions in Romans is referring to God's law. Whereas if you read the Context of Ezekiel 20:19 -26 you find out they disobeyed God's law so he scatters them among the heathen and disperses them through the countries, wherefore i am guessing the statutes and judgement God gave them in verse 20:25 wasn't referring God's law but rather the Nations to whom they were driven, or letting them do their own judgments and statutes.
512 DN 5:1 (Gives the title of "king" to Belshazzar although Belshazzar was actually the "viceroy.")
Even if according to history Belshazzar was viceroy it doesn't contradict the bible since viceroy is someone who represents the king and rules for him in another country.
513 DN 5:2 (Says that Nebuchadnezzar was the father of Belshazzar, but actually, Nebonidus was the father of Belshazzar.) (Note: Some versions attempt to correct this error by making the verse say that Nebuchadnezzar was the grandfather of Belshazzar.)
Again father could mean Ancestor. Gen 15:15, Jere 34:5, Act 7:11- 12
514 ZE 11:12-13 Mentions "thirty pieces" and could possibly be thought to be connected with the Potter's Field prophesy referred to in Matthew.
MT 27:9 Jeremiah is given as the source of the prophesy regarding the purchase of the Potter's Field. (Note: There is no such prophesy in Jeremiah.)
Although similiar Mt 27:9 isn't referring to Zec. plus you must note it says it was Spoken by Jeremiah not written by him. also there are some relevant verses in Jeremiah such as 19:1-4 and 32:6-12. refer to https://answersingenesis.org/contradictions-in-the-bible/mixed-prophets/

Bonus: Answering the Supposed Contradictions in the Video itself.
515 What did the Woman do When leaving the Tomb? Mat 28:8 or Mark 16:8
the Supposed Contradiction is Cleared up when you finish reading Mark. Get a Real bible. I also address this in a seperate Post. It is possible that there were 2 groups of women.
516 Where is the Devil? Job 1:7, 1 Pe 5:8 or Jude 1:6, 2 Pe 2:4
2 Pe 2:4 and Jud 1:6 doesn't mention Satan specifically. Perhaps there is some sort of difference between Fallen Angels and Devils. Perhaps Peter wasn't referring to their Immediate and Present state but their future and eternal destiny. Another Explanation is that although they were cast to hell they aren't incapable of leaving hell.
517 Who was Heman's Father 1Ki 4:31, 1Ch 2:6, 1 Ch 6:33
Again Fathers could mean Grandfathers or Great Grandfathers, etc. y'know there could also be more than one man on Earth whose name was Heman, who would have thought?
518 If a man believes is his non-believing family saved?
Answer 1 yes Acts 16:31
Read the Context and you find out that the man's family was saved because they believed too.
Answer 2 maybe, maybe not 1Co 7:16
Since I Proved a Believers non -believing family isn't saved without believing themselves this becomes a non issue.
519 Should Christians Cast out devils?
Yes Mar 16:17 or No Mat 7:22-23
Mat 7:22 -23 doesn't say not to cast out devils nor call it a sin. The passage is referring to Hypocrites or wolf's in sheeps clothing who appear to do good but have not washed the inside of the cup aka repented of their sins. You also Quoate mark 9:38 and Luke 9:49 but don't Quote the next 1 or 2 verses, so the audience doesn't find out Jesus told them not to Forbid them to do that.
520 After the Ressurection how many disciples did Jesus Reveal himself to?
John 20:24 ten. Mat 28:16-17 eleven. 1Co 15:5 twelve
Jesus appeared to them more than one time so it's not a contradiction.
also the "twelve" could just be referring to the apostles themselves and not the exact number.
