According to Bart Ehrman, “The Bible is filled with discrepancies, many of them irreconcilable contradictions.” Maybe you have run into a few of these discrepancies as you read the Bible yourself. In this series we will take a look at a few of these contradictions and see if they are able to be resolved and what these contradictions might have to teach us about God, the Bible, and our faith.

In week 3 of Contradictions? we looked at 2 Samuel 24:1 and 1 Chronicles 21:1. 2 Samuel 24:1 says, "Again the anger of the Lord burned against Israel, and he incited David against them, saying, “Go and take a census of Israel and Judah.” while 1 Chronicles 21:1 says, Satan rose up against Israel and incited David to take a census of Israel." So did God or Satan incite David to take a census?

Take a listen and see if this contradiction or discrepancy can be resolved.
