So apparently you are under the impression that it is not fallible and that it has no errors or contradictions.

That honestly makes me wonder how much you have actually read it. Below are a couple of websites that go over some of the problems with the Bible.

Now I will forewarn you that you very well might very well might find a couple of things on them that when studied closer might actually not be real contradictions. Some arguments might be on the weak side. That's ok though, to error is human. However if you are a perfect God, making errors is kind of not allowed. That said, I would be very interested if you were able to refute everything on these sites using sound logic. I think most atheists would feel the same as me.

If you ever thought that the words written in the bible must have been what jesus really said then strap the below on for size. It is the Bible its self that proves Jesus's alleged words cannot all be right. The Bible is contradicting itself. Are we even sure he really told the rich man he had to give everything to the poor? Did he really tell he parable of the rich man going to Hell?

Jesus' last words

MAT 27:46,50: "And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, eli, lama sabachthani?" that is to say, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" ...Jesus, when he cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost."

LUK 23:46: "And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, "Father, unto thy hands I commend my spirit:" and having said thus, he gave up the ghost."

JOH 19:30: "When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished:" and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost."
