Contradiction....?

How did Judas die?

(Mt.27:5) "And throwing down the pieces of silver into the temple, he departed, and he went and hanged himself."

(Ac.1:18) "Now this man acquired a field with the reward of his wickedness, and falling headlong he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out."

Thoughts?

Many people struggle with apparent contradictions in Scripture, and it's natural to seek understanding. The idea that the Holy Spirit inspired the Bible through human authors, confirms that the text is without error or contradiction in its original form:

2 Timothy 3:16-17, which says:

"All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work."

Another relevant verse is 2 Peter 1:20-21, which says:

"Knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit."

These verses highlight the divine inspiration and guidance behind the writing of Scripture.

Assumed contradictions often arise from our limited understanding or interpretation. Sometimes, what seems like a contradiction, can be resolved through deeper study, historical context, or a fresh perspective. Others might see the same issue as a deliberate literary device or a complex truth that requires nuance.
