There are no contradictions in the Word Of God. By the Word Of God we mean the Bible for English speaking
peoples the King James Bible.
There are errors and contradictions in the "other" English versions, NIV, RSV, NWT, et all.
Many times people will come across what appears to be a contradiction when in fact it is a simply
matter of applying the dispensational principles found in 2 Timothy 2:15.
For example, are the following two verses contradictions?
James 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Some say they contradict each other, that James teaches salvation by works and Paul salvation by grace.
Which one is right?
Both are!
James is not written to the church the body of Christ it is written to Israel.
Notice: James 1:1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which
are scattered abroad, greeting.
These verses do not contradict one another. One passage is written to Israel the other to the church
the body of Christ.
Let's not call "reading the wrong instructions" a contradiction.
