Paradoxes? Sometimes. Major contradictions? No. The next question, of course, is whether modern translations of the Bible are accurate translations of the originals. There are many different Bible translations on the market. This often confuses those not familiar with the Bible . Some mistakenly assume that because there are so many different Bible translations, they must be saying contradictory things. Except for one or two Bible translations by cult groups, where they have intentionally altered a few key verses to fit their theology, this is not true. For example, most Bible translations are translated from one of two basic New Testament Greek texts considered to be most reliable by biblical scholars, and one basic Old Testament Hebrew text. Thus, while they vary in style, they are all saying the same basic thing. To say, “Howdy,” “Hello,” or “Hi” are all accurate ways of saying the same thing. The content is the same, but the wording varies.
