OH...My.....WORD.
You cannot be a biblical scholar OR Theologian when you are an agnostic. PERIOD.
You may KNOW a lot about the facts...but you are NOT guided by the spirit...and your understanding is darkened...and you are blind.
Which is why you see contradictions. Your understanding is darkened. You cannot learn the truths of God when you deny Him. That's a promise. Why? Because you do not understand INSPIRATION and thus you seek to dismantle the Bible.
The fact you think this guy is "all that" tells me everything I need to know.
Neither you or the professor will understand the Word of God until you know God.
I urge you to place your faith in Christ for your salvation...and renounce the hidden things of darkness.
As for debating contradictions...I will not do it with someone who doesn't believe in inspiration. It's debating a fool...and God tells me not to do that.
That is just a silly statement. What one's faith is or isn't has nothing to do with scholarship.
