How do you approach passages that seem to contradict each other? Is it appropriate to fit every passage into an organized system? Explain your response.

[Austin]

If passages seem to contradict each other we must make sure that 1) we are reading them in context, 2) seek understanding through commentaries and 3) if possible, look inot the original language words with the help of language aids to make sure the words in question have the same root meaning. The overarching theme of the Bible should be the standard and many Scriptures can and should be group together where there is a cohesiveness.
