b'There are those who believe that the Bible is full of such contradictions and errors. These errors are trumpeted as proof that the Bible cannot be authoritative and inerrant and therefore it is foolish to believe anything it says. Lists of these alleged contradictions can be found in multiple websites from Islamic apologists and atheists, agnostics, and skeptics. However, the Bible has been around for thousands of years and skeptics have tried for the entire duration to show its faults and prove its lack of authenticity and authority. When looking at the charges of contradiction, we find that the same verses are brought up over and over even through biblical scholars have long since shown the contradiction does not exist. This lesson will help prepare you for such an encounter by working through some of the most popular "contradictions" brought up against the reliability of the Scriptures. It is doubtful that you will be able to remember all these but this document may be helpful at a later date as you refer to it.'
