Are There Contradictions in the Bible?

Critics often claim that Scripture is full of errors, conflicting accounts, and impossible statements. In this video, Dr. R. L. Solberg examines some of the most common alleged contradictions and explains why many of them turn out to be questions of context, language, perspective, chronology, or textual transmission rather than genuine logical contradictions. We explore the Resurrection accounts, Paul and James on faith and works, Old Testament passages that speak of things lasting "forever," apparent contradictions about seeing God, God's unchanging nature, numerical discrepancies, and more. Along the way, we learn an important principle: a true contradiction exists only when something is affirmed and denied in the same sense, at the same time, and in the same respect. Whether you're wrestling with difficult passages yourself or responding to challenges from skeptics, this video will help you think more carefully about what the Bible actually says and how Christians have approached these questions for centuries.
