King James Bible Believer (KJBB)

Why does there seem to be contradictions to some people even those who claim to be Christian?  Are they "babes" in the word? When they see a so called contradiction, what are their intentions? Good or Evil? There could be a number of reasons. Majority of the time when people come across something or are shown or told about a possible contradiction in the KJV, they read it, and stop. They don't read and study and find out why it seems as a contradiction. Instead, they lose faith in God or the infallibility in Gods words. Then they usually become a Bible critic or give up on God period and claim "Atheism", or another form of religion.

 

A lot of the reasons for the so called contradictions are from a number of posibilities... They come at the bible reading it for the wrong reasons. Did they actually read it or skim through it? Did someone tell them about it, and just took their word on it? (Which is the case most of the time). Did they read the whole book(s) that contains the contradiction(s)? How about paying attention to "Context"? The "Who", "What", "When", "Where", "Why", and "How"... Apply these to who is writing the book, chapter, who is speaking, and to whom? Where is it taking place, etc... There could be other reasons as well... God keeps secrets and the truth in his words are mysteries. It all depends on your approach to the word of God. 

Lets take a look at some scriptural possibilities. I have narrowed it down to 5 Possible reasons... There could be more, but these are ones that usually covers the basis.  
 

1. To confuse scholars, who question and try to correct God:
 

[1] Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
Genesis 3:1

 [19] For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. [20] Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?  [25] Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men
I Corinthians 1:19-25

[19] For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. [20] And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
I Corinthians 3:19-20

2. To deceive skeptics coming with preconceived ideas:

​

 [20] And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner. [21] And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will persuade him. [22] And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so. 
I Kings 22:20-22

[3] Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?… [9] And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel
Ezekiel 14:3-9

​

3. To conceal truth from those who do not deserve it:

​

[10] For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers,6 the seers hath he covered. [11] And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed: [12] And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned. [13] Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: [14] Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
Isaiah 29:10-14

[10] And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? [11] He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
Matthew 13:10-11

​

4. To expose the false versions claiming to be the Bible:

​

 [28] The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD. [29] Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? [30] Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour. [31] Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith. [32] Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD
Jeremiah 23:28-32

 [8] Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. [9] But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
II Timothy 3:8-9

[10] A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; [11] Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
Titus 3:10-11

​

5. To reveal mysteries to believers with simple faith:

​

[5] Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. [6] Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. 
Proverbs 30:5-6

[18] And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness. [19] The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. 
Isaiah 29:18-19

 [25] At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. [26] Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.
Matthew 11:25-26

[27] But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 
I Corinthians 1:27

 [13] Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
I Corinthians 2:13

 [20] O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: [21] Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen. 
I Timothy 6:20-21

 [15] Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
II Timothy 2:15
