“Speaking as someone who has taught a Bible course, the Bible is full of contradictions.”
God’s word says your are a liar. Now whom do we believe God or you.? Hhmmmmmmm....! I think I’ll go with God...!
Jn. 17:17 “Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.
2:Tim. 3:16 & 17 “ All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
Every scholar and student of the Bible knows it. It’s taught in seminary. There is an excellent book on the subject entitled “Jesus, Interrupted: Revealing the Hidden Contradictions in the Bible and Why We Don’t Know About Them” by Professor Bart D. Ehrman, Professor of New Testament Studies at the University of North Carolina.
Some of the contradictions occur due to different writers telling different stories to different audiences; some are due to insertions or deletions by scribes. (We do not have the originals.)
The words of Jesus condemn both you and your silly, ignorant, little “so called” professor....!
Matthew 7:15 @16 “ “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits.”
Matt. 7:21-23 “21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
One of Paul’s letters says women should not be church leaders, yet in another he speaks favorably of some women who are leaders of one of the churches to which he was writing.
Which letter..?
Paul’s letters say NO SUCH thing....! Again God’s word says you are a liar...!
2 Cor. 4:3&4: “ 3 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4 whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.”
Matt. 15:8&9: “8 “These people draw near to Me with their mouth,And honor Me with their lips,But their heart is far from Me.9 And in vain they worship Me,Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.”
” The various Gospels tell different versions of the Crucifixion and Resurrection. In one, Jesus is silent all the way to Calvary and through his execution. In another, he cries out in despair. In another, he is forgiving everyone around him.”
The Holy Spirit, through inspired men, wrote all the scripture. Are you saying God “misled” us on purpose? God is trying to dupe us..? Do you think you could have done a better job at writing God’s word than what God himself did..? Just asking....! You seem to be saying God sure made a mess of the scriptures..!
John 16:13 “13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.”
“There are contradictory accounts of who went to the grave, who found the body risen, and to whom Jesus went and what he said.
There are conflicting accounts of the Christmas story. In one version, the family goes to Egypt. In another, they go back home to Galilee.
The contradictions abound. Most people don’t know about them because they are somewhat suppressed by preachers, but to deny them is folly.”
They are contradictions only to those who are ignorant of what God’s words teach. They are contradictions to those who have NEVER STUDIED AND DON’T KNOW THE TRUTH.
2 Tim. 2:15 “ Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
“It’s OK that there are contradictions. Different people interpret the same event in different ways and different ideas resonate with different audiences.” God appears to each of us in the way we’re most likely to understand.”
You have NO CLUE as to what the Bible teaches do you....? Your ignorance of scripture is astounding.....! You are pontificating on something you NO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT...scripture, God’s word.....!
Acts 10:34 “ Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:”
God speaks to ALL MEN THE SAME WAY...!
Hebrews 1:1&2 “God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, 2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds;”
‘No two people have the same experience of God, nor should they. That’s fine. It doesn’t make the Bible any less inspired. But to deny the contradictions is simply foolish. Trying to maintain that position will force you to twist yourself around like a pretzel.’
NO..! You are the one who is twisted because of your ignorance of God’s word...! You don’t have clue of that which you have spoken...! Your empty, vain words are just that. You have brillIantly displayed your ignorance of God’s word for all to see...!
