Contradictions in the Bible

If there are any contradictions we always refer back to the words of Jesus. Jesus is Lord, He is the Word of God (not the Bible). All others are men, flesh and blood. The words of Jesus take preference over the words of the apostles also.

The words of Jesus take preference over everything. His words are printed in red in some Bibles. We find the words of Jesus as recorded by the witnesses, in the gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

The gospels all testify of Jesus. They were written from the account of the eyewitnesses who heard and who saw Jesus.

“If anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. “He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day. “For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak. “I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me.” John 12:47-50.

Is the Bible the Word of God?

No. The Bible is a collection of scriptures. The holy scriptures testify of Jesus that He Himself is the Word of God.

Jesus Christ is the Word of God.

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.Through him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made. In Him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.

There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world.

He was in the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but His own did not receive Him. Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth." John 1:14

"He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which He is called is The Word of God." Revelations 19:13.

What to read?

Nothing is as important as the words of Jesus. Everyone will be judged by the words of Jesus.

“As for the person who hears My words but does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save it. There is a judge for the one who rejects Me and does not accept My words; that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day. For I did not speak of my own accord, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and how to say it. I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told Me to say.” John 12:47-50

The words that Jesus spoke were recorded in the gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
