Most Bible contradictions may be dismissed as translation errors as we will prove throughout this article with the assistance of lexicons. Other difficulties are resolved once we explore the context of the conflicting passages, examine older manuscripts which verify some contradictions as simple scribal errors, and apply logic to solve philosophical dilemmas.

In order to finally resolve such errors, links will be provided to the original Hebrew/Greek throughout this article. Using this method, we will find most alleged contradictions do not even exist.

SCRIBAL ERRORS Few critics are satisfied when a contradiction is explained as being a scribal error. However, the Bible was obviously written long before electronic methods of reproduction. Scribes had no choice but
