Contradict -to imply the opposite or a denial of

OK, so different names are not contradictions? You can play word games all you want and look at individual lines of the Bible and find many contradictions. I repeat strongly, that in no way does that diminish in my mind, the messages that the different writers and God were giving to his people. It, in fact, makes them more meaningful in that they spoke directly to the people.

I repeat also my original question. If you were to find one true contradiction in the Bible would that destroy your faith?

It's not a word game -it's simple logic. Here is a rough definition: Opposing propositions "A" and "B" cannot both be true in the same sense and in the same relationship. This is the Law of Non-Contradiction. It is this same Law that mandates that both the god of islam and Jesus Christ cannot BOTH be real (someone please tell George Bush).

To answer your question, no it would not destroy my faith. I claim that the Word of God is inerrant in its original autographs. There have been copying errors, but they are minor.

But if you claim there are contradictions, the burden of proof is on YOU to provide the irrefutable evidence.
