    I agree completely, but to some your answer would seem absurd. To those who honestly think that the Bible is full of contradictions I would say that I have often thought the same way. At first I found contradictions in the Bible, but after studying both statements, I eventually discovered that I had misunderstood one, or the other, or both.

    For example: When Jesus disrupted the merchants and money-changers in the Temple, what did he say? Both of the Gospels that describe the incident quote him as saying "My house should be a house of prayer," but in John he goes on to say "but you have made it a place of merchandise" and in Matthew or Mark he goes on to say "but you have made it a den of thieves."

    The two passages contradict each other, unless you happen to look them up. Then you will find that one account occurs in John 2--near the very beginning of his work--and the other is in Matthew 21 or Mark 11, three years later. In other words, he did it twice, because the leadership refused to reform their financially corrupt practices. First he warned, then he condemned.

    Sometimes it's taken me several years and a lot of questions to find a reconciliation between contradictions in the Bible, but so far I have always find one. So the answer is yes--all the books of the Bible are harmonious in their teachings. It's just that you have to study it--not just read it.

    There are over 360 prophesies in the Old Testament. These prophesies come from many books, including Genesis, Isaiah, Psalms, Malachi, Joel, 1 & 2 Samuel, 1 & 2 Kings ect. Every prophesy recorded in the Old Testament is fullfilled in the ministry of Jesus Christ. Since it was written, there has never been a contradiction found that could not be explained through sound doctrine and study; historically or theologically.

    Some stated that Luke was incorrect historically because he said that Jesus was born while Quirinius was govenor, which would have had Jesus born a few years later than Matthew states. However, recently extra-biblical evidence revealed that he served an earlier term that we did not previously know about, and that this term was at the same time as Matthews gospel had the birth of Jesus.
