What Barry Hussein Osama is doing, is pandering to the extreme left of the RAT party. That is typical of all politicians, especially the dims.
I have some homework for you. How many contradictions can you find in a college text book on integral calculus?
I’m not that good at calculus. I am, however, stellar at reading.
I don’t have time to argue with you, nor do I have time to search out endless “context” for everything I read.
I just know how to comprehend what I do read, on a literal level.
Obama just confused it with the sermon on brokeback mount.
He told them, "The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables so that, 'they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!'
Yeah, I get it. I’m a Philistine.
I am not saying you are anything. But one can read the Bible looking for contradictions and find them or one can try to find harmony in the verses and obtain the deeper truth.
Obama needs to point to a homosexual couple in the Bible that’s approved by Jesus. Or a lone homosexual in ministry. There’s a reason there are none and lying or obfuscation won’t change that.
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
Isaiah 5:20,21
Proof-texting in English translations is a mug’s game anyway; all one winds up doing at most is demonstrating the fallability or limitations of translators. If one seriously wants to argue the inerrancy of Scripture one needs to bone up on one’s Hebrew and Koine.
But that’s too much like work for those most, who were just seeking a loophole to slip out of the fold anyway.
Your not that good at calculus but you’ve proclaimed yourself to be a great scholar on Bible contradictions.
Try these:
The Bible is full of contradictions
1) It contradicts sin with forgiveness.
2) It contradicts the counterfeit lies of the spirit of this world by proclaiming the truth.
3) It contradicts those who lack faith through encouragement and edification.
4) It contradicts fear uncertainty and doubt and replaces it with the spirit of power, love and a sound mind.
Whose report will you believe?
No, I haven’t “proclaimed” myself anything, and I dare you to show me the post wherein you think I did.
I just know how to read, remember what I read, and see if what I read next contradicts my past reading.
Your definition of “contradict” is different from mine. I think the word you’re looking for is “contrast.”
ok thanks
