The Divine Interconnectedness of Scripture
A few years ago, computer scientist Dr. Chris Harrison in collaboration with Christoph Römhild, a Lutheran pastor, created a remarkable computer visualization of 63,779 of the about 340,000 cross-references found in the Bible (see a visualization of all 340,000 cross-references here).
A cross-reference is a note placed alongside scripture that references another scripture; it provides a more full, whole Bible view on a verse or theme (similar to how articles on Wikipedia all reference and interlink each other in a vast web of knowledge).

Here is Dr. Harrison’s explanation:
“The bar graph that runs along the bottom represents all of the chapters in the Bible ... The length of each bar denotes the number of verses in the chapter. Each of the 63,779 cross references found in the Bible is depicted by a single arc – the color corresponds to the distance between the two chapters, creating a rainbow-like effect.”
From its interconnectedness to the overwhelming archaeological evidence, none of which has ever contradicted a single claim the Old and New Testament makes, there is no doubt the Bible is the inspired Word of God. What will you do with God? Will you RECEIVE Him (John 1:12), or will you REJECT Him (John 12:48)? Your decision will determine your eternal destiny! Learn more: Salvation

It is an interactive graph of the hundreds of contradictions in the Bible.

Maybe you shouldn't believe everything you read.
And the Lord spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend.
Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign.
Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign.
And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man.
And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.
I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.
The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father.

The mental gymnastics of apologists never ceases amazing me.
