Contradictions?

Skeptics of the Bible tend to use Bible contradictions as there best defense on trying to prove that the Bible is not the word of God. They say that if the Bible truly is inspired by a true, living god, then it must be perfect. They must understand that over the years, the Bible has been translated a lot and of course there is going to be confusion. But does this mean they can't be answered? Not at all, they can. Every known so called alleged contradiction that people have brought up has been refuted. Many Christian apologists write books on this topic. They answer the contradictions. It is always good to study them for yourselves and you will see that there are no contradictions. Only people who turn them into contradictions. Skeptics like to nitpick out some verses and take it completely out of context. I am going to provide a link below on sites that answer contradictions. But I myself want to answer a really big one that skeptics like to use the most. In fact, it is in the first couple of pages in Genesis.

There are supposed two different creation stories that don't agree with each other. This is simply not true. Genesis 2 is just a detailed description of the creation story in Genesis 1. That is all, there is no big contradiction.

Here are links answering contradictions:
