No dude, that's the claim of the Qur'an. The bible was edited during the rule of the Roman Emperor Constantine. It didn't exist before. The bible is and artificial book. There were just many gospels all saying their own thing. It was written and edited by men. If it was truly one piece of work inspired by god then there wouldn't be any need for creating it or editing it, would it? -
Maybe God hadn't invented spellchecker on his Apple Mac?
At least now we know God made apples but man made Windows

Sometimes, in some versions, encounter errors of translation, or of incomplete understanding, but the original is impeccable!someone need to learn and study history more, including those facts about his own religion and religious institution

Marian, you're joking...
You do not open the Bible, but you think you know better about it, but billions of people who have studied it and adopted it.Give me an example of contradiction in it!

Are you asking for examples of contradictions in the bible?
If yes, I'll start a new thread as there are so many it will need to be an entire new topic.

OK, Solo, start with one of them...!

I'm actually amazed Cornel that you are not aware of any contradictions in the bible, the book you done research on for decades, as you said. Either your sight is bad or don't know how to read.
I hope you're not going to tell me those are not valid because I didn't do the reasearch myself.

Marian, give me AN EXAMPLE, not a list!

The census of Quirinius (Cyrenius) and Herod the Great were not contemporary...they were separated by at least 9 years. This is a matter of historical record. So which was it...the journey to Bethlehem or the Massacre of the Innocents...you can't have both.

You can not to choose any example from the list?

Why? Just pick one from the lists.

@ 'Alan F.'
Herod the Great ruled 37-4 BC, but the current calendar is wrong, with several years difference. After him, was Herod Archelaus, who ruled 4BC-6AD.
I thought you know these simple things…! -
I do know those simple things, but what have they...or a later change of calendar...got to do with it? Quirinius wasn't appointed governor until the Romans had to impose direct rule after Herod Archelaus was driven from power in 6-7 AD...a decade later...and by the same calendar
This is both matter of Roman record and that of the Jewish historian Josephus. -
‘Alan F’, you probably know just as in A.D. 6 the emperor dispached Quirinius to Syria, and, at the same time, Coponius was named guvernor of Judea, and the two did conduct a Census.
According to some historians, this is the second time Quirinius was governor in Syria, and because of that, in the Bible, we have such a mention, at Luke 2:1-2:
“[In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. This was the FIRST Census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria. And everyone went to their own town to register.]”So Luke knew about at least 2 Quirinius Census...!

Yes, some 'historians' like yourself, eager to rewrite history to fit with the Gospels. There is not an iota of evidence to support that claim, either from Roman or Jewish sources. Nor was there any such need for a governor with a Tetrarch still in place.
In fact, there's no real evidence for a census at this time at all...and it's unheard of to demand that everyone travel to their city of origin just to participate in one...a totally unnecessary logistical and administrative nightmare.
Most ordinary christians wouldn't have a problem with this. The author of Luke made a mistake. Big deal. It's only a problem if you take the Bible to be the infallible word of God.

Alan F., if you can not check someone, does not mean that the respective is wrong!
You have no a complete list about all Census...
