Bible Contradictions

Introduction

Does the Bible contradict itself? Skeptics often think that the Old and New Testament present vastly different messages. Is the Old Testament a book of God's wrath and the New Testament a book of God's love? Does Genesis one contradict the creation account in Genesis two?
