圣经中不是有很多矛盾吗？
Doesn't the Bible contain many contradictions?
简答 Short Answer
所谓的「矛盾」大多是对文体、语境或翻译的误解。仔细研究后，这些问题都有合理的解释。
Most alleged 'contradictions' stem from misunderstandings of genre, context, or translation. Upon careful study, these issues have reasonable explanations.
详细解答 Detailed Answer
许多所谓的矛盾来自于以现代标准衡量古代文体。圣经包含多种文体——叙事、诗歌、预言、书信——每种文体有不同的表达方式。
例如，四福音书对同一事件的记载有差异，但这恰恰证明了它们是独立的目击证词，而非串通编造。差异在细节上，核心事实完全一致。就像四个目击证人对一起事件的描述会有不同角度，但这增强而非削弱了证词的可信度。
经过两千年的批评性研究，没有发现任何真正的矛盾足以推翻圣经的可信度。
Many alleged contradictions arise from applying modern standards to ancient literary genres. The Bible contains multiple genres — narrative, poetry, prophecy, epistles — each with different modes of expression.
For example, the four Gospels' varying accounts of the same events actually prove they are independent eyewitness testimonies, not a coordinated fabrication. Differences are in details while core facts are completely consistent. Like four eyewitnesses describing the same event from different angles, this strengthens rather than weakens credibility.
After two thousand years of critical study, no genuine contradiction has been found sufficient to undermine the Bible's trustworthiness.
