The Sinner Says the Bible Contradicts Itself Because the Bible Contradicts the Sinner!

There is the timeless truth that the Bible is contradicted by people who read it least.  They say that the Bible is a book full of contradictions, they cite the alleged contradictions of the Bible and the so-called inconsistencies without realizing that they are not contradictions.  They do not diligently seek the truth and it boils down to this.  They say the Bible contradicts itself because the Bible contradicts them.

How does the Bible contradict the sinner?  You think you are basically good but the Bible says you are a bad person (Romans 3:10-19, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10).  You think you are saved by whatever good works you may possess but the Bible says you are not saved by your good works (Ephesians 2:8-10, Titus 3:5).  Some people may want a salvation that will allow them to sin all they want but the Bible says that true salvation changes your life (Titus 2:11-14).  Some people may want health, wealth and prosperity all the time but the Bible says no such garbage.  The Bible does not cater to the sinful wants of man because it goes against them.

Reading through the Old Testament, this truth is still timeless today as Deuteronomy 31:26-27 says this timeless truth, "Take this Book of the Law, and put it in the side of the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee.  For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the Lord; and how much more after my death?"  No matter how you put it the Bible is a witness against sin and it causes great discomfort to the sinner.

But for Christians, it gives them greater comfort as not only did the Bible lead them to salvation but it also has the Holy Spirit speaking to them, convicting them of their sins and that it leads them to the righteous ways.  Romans 7:22 in the same passage Paul complains about his struggle against sin also has him saying, "For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:".
