The idea that there are no contradictions in the Bible is false. None of your arguments to the contrary make any sense. Christians say this all the time, "there are no contradictions," over and over. Probably with the idea that if they say it over and over enough times someone besides themselves will believe it. Or maybe they need to say it over and over to convince themselves that they believe it.

I know there aren't any for several reasons -- one of them is that not one of you skeptics have been able to come up with one.
Methinks it is you skeptics who are constantly coming up with invented contradictions to convince yourselves. Look at Thask and the two thieves who where crucified with Christ. Like you, he argues from silence but swears there is a contradiction because he wants to believe so badly that it is one, even though I have challenged him often to demonstrate with the Law of Noncontradiction where the contradiction lies. Maybe you wanna help him out?
