No really. Read it again real slow and meditate on what it says over and over. After looking at it word for word and using your head, putting it in the proper context, and a little Holy Spirit guidance, you will see the truth that there are no contradictions.

The Word of God itself claims that those who truely seek the truth it will be revealed. For those who play games and have a hardened heart it will remain hidden and appear as a mystery loaded with contradictions. It's like one of those puzzles you try to solve why waiting for your table at Cracker Barrel. If someone just shows you how its done you really don't understand it fully. But when you realize it yourself then you have gained true insight.

The Word of God also states that "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of Wisdom". Try to start there and see if that helps in discovering how to read and interpret the Word of God correctly.

The only way that Genesis is free from contradictions and errors is if certain things are ignored, and others are made up. If you go through it word for word, using your head, as I have done, it has problems. It has nothing to do with a "hardened heart", the Holy Spirit, or whether I am seeking the truth truely [sic] (in your opinion) or not.

It has to do with the words written down in the bible. Either the fowl were created out of the waters, or they were created out of the ground. Which is true? One individual said that both could be true. However, the bible says absolutely nothing of the sort. The arguments that I have heard so far have been ridiculous. It has gotten to the point where the "the book of Genesis has no errors" crowd are making stuff up.

By the way, your "nobody can show it to you, you have to find the truth for yourself" argument is a total cop-out. It tells me that you cannot resolve the problems in Genesis that I have pointed out, and that your failure to do so somehow makes you a more righteous individual. You're better than me because you're wrong? Huh? I'm not buying what you're selling.

Genesis 2:19 - And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air..."

After looking at it word for word and using your head, putting it in the proper context,

What part of every don't you understand, I think it's you who isn't reading it word for word. If more creatures are created then it can't be "every" so it's a flat out contradiction from Gen I
