The claim is often made by believers in the Bible that it is God's word, and that it is completely without error. But if this were so, how is it that so many contradictions can be found within its pages? The following is a list of such errors, both those of major significance and those of less import, which should go far in providing evidence that the Bible is not, in fact, "inerrant":



1. Theology - what is God really like?..............................(1-42)
2. Jesus - who was he, and where did he come from?......(43-56)
3. Behaviour - how should we act?...................................(57-102)
4. Doctrine - what should we believe?..............................(103-137)
5. Numbers - do they add up?............................................(138-209)
6. Genealogy - who begat whom?.....................................(210-240)
7. History - Old Testament.................................................(241-319)
8. History - New Testament...............................................(320-421)

"Some say God is living there [in space]. I was looking around very attentively, but I did not see anyone there. I did not detect either angels or gods....I don't believe in God. I believe in man - his strength, his possibilities, his reason."
