Answer 4

ONLY ONE?? Okay, try this one for now.

Compare the genealogy between the Gospel of Matthew [1:6] and the Gospel of Luke [3:31]--the latter is in reverse order--where it shows David's name, son of Jesse.

Here's the question regarding DAVID'S LINEAGE:

Why is it different in Matthew's, which shows SOLOMON, versus the one in Luke's, which shows NATHAN? One was a King and the other was a Prophet....

So, now tell me which one do you think is the right one?? They CAN'T BOTH BE RIGHT, yes? So, one of them HAS TO BE an ERROR! Correct???

I suggest that you should be very careful in making FALSE statements that you [or your pastor] cannot back up, okay?

Peace be with you!

Answer 5

Romans 3:21 the word "law" is mistranslated. By the Christian argument the word "law" refers to the Mosaic Commandments, also known as the Torah. But when examined, a logic problem occurs - that according to the Christian view, the Torah witnesses against itself with the weight of the Prophets. This is impossible.

The translated word "law" comes from the Greek word "nomos" (Strongs #3551). From a Greek view point, this would be fine, but the text is written by a Jew, therefore the view point must be translated from a Jewish one.

Within Hebrew there are different words to convey different concepts. "Torah" in Hebrew means teaching. It can also refer to the five books of Moses. Then there are other words like Mishnah, Talmud, Tokanot, Mitzvot that can be mistranslated as the Greek word "nomos" because each in it's own way represents "law" in general, but specifically each one is different from the others.

In Rom 7:12 Paul states "So then, the Law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good" -- in this he is speaking of Torah, the five books of Moses that God told Moses to write and give to the people. But then he states in 7:23 "but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members." A "different law"? A "law of sin"? What law is he talking about? Is there another Torah from God? No, but there are laws from men. The laws of men cater to the flesh, to the ego, to the wants and desires of mankind, not to the will of God.

The Pharisees of Yeshua's and Paul's day wrote their own laws, laws that favored them yet turned against the common Jew. Much like today's politics, the Pharisees made laws to help themselves. These were called "Takanot", reforms. Chagnes in Jewish laws to raise taxes, comfort the Pharisees, make life harder for Jews under Roman rule.

So when Paul (his true name was Shaul) wrote about the two different laws, this is what he was talking about....

Rom 3:21 But now, apart from the Reforms [of the Pharisees], the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Torah [of God] and the Prophets

This is not the only error in the Bible, but is a major one that channels the path of Christians everywhere. How? By understanding that two different laws were being compared (the laws of the Pharisees and the Law of God), then the statement found in Romans 6:14 should be translated as such...

Rom 6:14 For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under Reforms [of the Pharisees] but under grace [from God, found in Torah].

Answer 6

KI1 4:26 And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.

CH2 9:25 And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; whom he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.

There's one. If you'd like to see more... then see the answers to this other question...

Answer 7

No the Bible is perfect.

Answer 8

God is perfect, the bible is God's word therefore the bible must be perfect.

Answer 9

Daniel 1:1-2
In the third year of the reign of King Jehoiakim of Judah, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it. 2The Lord let King Jehoiakim of Judah fall into his power, as well as some of the vessels of the house of God.

According to the book of Kings, Jehoiakim's son Jehoiakin was King of Judah when this happened. Most of the historical references in Daniel are just plain wrong. They may be pointing the reader to the fact that the book of Daniel is a folktale, rather than a historical account. Kind of like a modern story starting with something like "George Washington and Abraham Lincoln were chatting..." I can provide more from Daniel if you like.

From Ezekiel 29:

8 Therefore, thus says the Lord God: I will bring a sword upon you, and will cut off from you human being and animal; 9and the land of Egypt shall be a desolation and a waste. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.

Because you* said, ‘The Nile is mine, and I made it’, 10therefore, I am against you, and against your channels, and I will make the land of Egypt an utter waste and desolation, from Migdol to Syene, as far as the border of Ethiopia.* 11No human foot shall pass through it, and no animal foot shall pass through it; it shall be uninhabited for forty years. 12I will make the land of Egypt a desolation among desolated countries; and her cities shall be a desolation for forty years among cities that are laid waste. I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them among the countries.

13 Further, thus says the Lord God: At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples among whom they were scattered; 14and I will restore the fortunes of Egypt, and bring them back to the land of Pathros, the land of their origin; and there they shall be a lowly kingdom. 15It shall be the most lowly of the kingdoms, and never again exalt itself above the nations; and I will make them so small that they will never again rule over the nations. 16The Egyptians* shall never again be the reliance of the house of Israel; they will recall their iniquity, when they turned to them for aid. Then they shall know that I am the Lord God.

17 In the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me: 18Mortal, King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon made his army labour hard against Tyre; every head was made bald and every shoulder was rubbed bare; yet neither he nor his army got anything from Tyre to pay for the labour that he had expended against it. 19Therefore, thus says the Lord God: I will give the land of Egypt to King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon; and he shall carry off its wealth and despoil it and plunder it; and it shall be the wages for his army. 20I have given him the land of Egypt as his payment for which he laboured, because they worked for me, says the Lord God.

King Nebuchadnezzar never conquered Egypt and it was never laid waste for 40 years.

The following passage from Haggai chapter 2:

6"For this is what the LORD Almighty says: In just a little while I will again shake the heavens and the earth. I will shake the oceans and the dry land, too. 7I will shake all the nations, and the treasures of all the nations will come to this Temple. I will fill this place with glory, says the LORD Almighty. 8The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, says the LORD Almighty. 9The future glory of this Temple will be greater than its past glory, says the LORD Almighty. And in this place I will bring peace. I, the LORD Almighty, have spoken!"

Even the most conservative scholars admit that this never happened with the second temple. It never came close to rivaling the glory of Solomon's temple, and all the wealth of the world never rolled into Jerusalem. It may still happen, but not to the "this temple" Haggai is referring to.

I am a Christian, but I choose to put my faith in the God we learn about through the Bible, not in the Bible itself. I would really like to know how you respond to this, send me a private message if you want to discuss it further.

Answer 10

THE BIBLE HAS NUMEROUS DIFFERENT TRANSLATIONS MANY SAYING MANY DIFFERENT THINGS, (WHICH ONE ARE YOU REFERRING TO? :) DONT FORGET BEFORE THE ROMAN CATHOLIC COUNCIL AROUND THE 100s AD OR SO MADE HUGE CHANGES TO THE SCRIPTURES IT WAS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT BOOK.
