Nevertheless, The Bible will end up proven true every jot and tittle

So both Exodus 20:5 and Ezekiel 18:20 will be true at the same time? I'm not sure how that is possible, but then I have been told that with God all things are possible. Apparently that applies even to two completely contradictory states of reality.

EVIDENTLY, YOU HAVE TROUBLE BELIEVING that there are different contingencies involved.

Different attitudes/spirits on the part of offspring matter a lot. There are general rules and laws that operate. Grace introduces some other possibilities. Christianity is the only Faith that offers Grace as Philip Yancy discusses so well in: WHAT'S SO AMAZING ABOUT GRACE.

Methinks your question is beneath your intellectual capacities.

I have a question. Without implying any condescension in my question... have you tried to search this out yourself? Some of these Bible *difficulties* can be resolved with a minimum of effort.

10 or 12 years ago there was a list of 100 Bible contradictions floating around USENET. Then I saw the list grow to 200. Around that time a team of us got together as well as you can get together on the internet and searched out each "contradiction" with yours truly as general editor. Unfortunately that was long before the general populace could write to a CD and that data is long lost.

Out of that list of 200 we were able to answer 199 of the 200 "contradictions" satisfactorily to the majority of skeptics. That one remaining "contradiction" wasn't even much of anything. Although I don't remember the exact issue it had something to do with how long a king actually reigned, whether 16 or 36 years or similar numbers.

You see, there was a different number listed on some ancient manuscripts. The number in question looked something like an "F" or an "E" or that was the analogy we used. One manuscript had a smudge mark on it and was translated one way, where the other manuscript didn't have the smudge mark and was translated another.

Of those 200 "contradictions" that was the only remaining issue. A smudge mark on an ancient document prevented us from answering all but 1 out of 200 from a very hostile group of skeptics. A smudge mark prevented some from seeing the real issue, that being Christ Jesus.

Please don't let a smudge mark get in your way.
