What is the biggest bible contradiction?

There are no Bible contradictions - there are merely bad Bible exegesis practioners.I would challenge anyone claiming there is a Bible contradiction to do the following 8 steps of Bible exegesis in relation to their alleged Bible contradictions:

The rules of exegesis:

​

Gordon D. Fee, in his New Testament Exegesis, p 27, states simply, “Exegesis . answers the question, What did the biblical author mean? It has to do both with what he said (the content itself) and why he said it at any given point (the literary context). Furthermore, exegesis is primarily concerned with intentionality: What did the author intend his original readers to understand?”

​

Before we can determine what a given text might mean for us today, we must establish what it meant for its original audience.

​

This is the process of exegesis. In this article, we will lay out the fundamental rules, of which there are eight. In future articles, we will elaborate on each one from a nuts & bolts perspective. The rules listed are taken directly from Prof. Fee’s excellent book (p. 32), mentioned in the paragraph above.

If anyone claims that the Bible is inerrant, they simply haven't studied the Bible.

Are you saying that the Bible scholars/theologians like Norman Geisler, James Boice, Carl F. H. Henry, Kenneth Kantzer, J. I. Packer, Francis Schaeffer, John MacArthur, and R. C. Sproul did not study their Bibles? Are you saying the same regarding the 200 signers of the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy?I think you would do well to demonstrate your contention via the 8 steps I cited.
