Let’s get this straight...for the record, the truth is that Bill O’Reilly is a contradiction. We would all be better off if Bill O’Reilly would just SHUT UP!
There are no contridictions in the Word of God. There are different views of similar occurances reported by writers who may or may not have directly witnessed what they reported. And there are differences because of translation. It is important to remember that God is the same, yesterday, today and forever...as is his Word.
There are also different ‘interpretations’ of what is written. Paul told the Corinthian women to ‘Shut Up’...they were chit chatting during the church gatherings and disturbing the congregation gathered there. He never said women had no place in being part of the church in any way, shape or form. Many women had a part in the formation of the early church, including teaching.
The record shows the contradictions, and they are numerous. That’s what we’ve been discussing in this thread.
“There are no contridictions” is a statement of religious faith, a belief, but it is contradicted by the plain facts of the matter.
