Bible Contradictions and their Explanations

I have done a good share of searching for Bible contradictions. So far only one has even caused me to stumble a little. I will list that one first and the rest will try to be kept in order of where they are found in the Bible.

In Genesis, God changes Jacob’s name to Israel, then continues to call him Jacob.
This is the toughest “contradiction” I have come across to explain. I never found a good explanation (yet) but I believe I found a good enough answer.
