Why is Jesus contradicting himself? Or is it the Bible that’s contradicting Jesus?

Question

Matthew 5:22 "Whosoever shall say Thou fool, shall be in danger of hellfire." [Jesus speaking]
Matthew 23:17 "Ye fools and blind." [Jesus speaking]
Psalm 14:1 "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God."

Answer 1

Easy one. Remember that the Bible was not written in English. The original was in Greek for the New Testament and Hebrew and Aramic for the Old. In Matthew 5:22 the word translated "Fool" was a term of contempt similar to "jack@ss" today. Totally different word then in the other two verses. So, sorry, once again there is no contraction.

Answer 2

Jesus Xist has never in any occassion contradicted himself nor did the bible contradicts him. God's word is faithful and true.
In Matt 23:17;5:22 Jesus was scolding the scribes and pharisees who were behaving hyprocritically and pretending to be holy meanwhile they are ravening wolves.He said that faithful xtians should not behave like them.
while in Ps- 14:1, the Psalmist David was referring to those pple who do not believe in the exsisitence of God- Go to Ps- 94:8-9.

Answer 3

Is that from the King James Version? Why do youread that version. You should read a more modern version. The bible is hard to understand sometimes, but if you read if you read it just because just because you want to find error in it than read some thing else. The Bible was inspired by God, and it was origanilly in Hebrew so the translation doesn't always make sense and it always isn''t right.

Answer 4

Matthew 5:22;Is an example that it is not only the act of violence that is sin but the thought or even anger.The Jews viewed the law as a means of salvation,God meant it as conviction.Christ was explaining that.
God and Christ(the word of God) expressing indignation at the created for being so wrong,rightly called them what they were.

Answer 5

Two thousand years have passed. Most of those were without the benefit of the historical text needed to do more than interpet what few facts remain that are known.
That has nothing to do with God, or belief in God, or the meaning of the text of Holy Scripture (deemed so much after the fact).
It has nothing to do with words.
It has to do with feeling and guilt.
Do good for the sake of goodness.
Believe in The Law so that we all can have some Peace.
Life is complicated enough without engaging in paradox riddle like the above.
You go to your church. I'll go to mine.

Answer 6

if you go to anyone and ask them to explain to you the trinity, they will not be able to give you an adequete answer.

Never once did Jesus (peace be upon him) claim to be God. If you look into the bible, if you have a red lettered one that highlights supposedly what Jesus has said, than never once will you find that he told his people to worship him. On the contrary, he said "Worship Thy Father Alone" i.e. worship God Alone.

Third of All, In Islam we believe in Jesus as a highly respected Prophet of Allah (God). just like Moses, Adam, Abraham, Noah, etc.

They All came with the same message : To worship the creator Alone.

Indeed, it is very blasphemous to say that Jesus Is God.
#1. Jesus was A human, and everyone will agree upon that. meaning he ate, slept, used the bathroom, etc. Things that Muslims Believe are not attributes fit for the Lord of the Universe, because he is free of all needs.

#2. The Christians believed that Jesus died on the Cross. How can God Die? if that were the case, than how can it be that he would be on the cross saying "Why have you forsaken me" to the one who is in heaven, if they were one in the same. and how is it that He knew he would die, but didnt know at the same time?

and if he died for 3 days, who was God during those 3 days?

nothing makes sense.

but everything in Islam Makes sense. wouldnt it be more logical that he were a Righteous Prophet of God, rather than God himself?

If you believe
1. that there is no object worthy of worship but Allah (God)
2. you believe in the angles
3. Heaven and hell
4. The Books that came before (the Old testament, Gospels, Quran)
5. you believe in the all the Prophets of God starting from Adam, including Moses, Jesus, Abraham, Noah, and Muhammad peace be upon all of them)
and finally
6. Divine decree.

than welcome to Islam.

Finally, if you do not wish to listen to anything i've said, at least do one thing which you have nothing to lose.

Seek guidance from God himself to guide you on the strait path, and see where it leads you.

I Swear by Allah, that if you Sincerely and whole-heartedly ask Him for Guidance to the truth. He will lead you to it.

you have nothing you lose.

I ask God to guide you all to the truth. ameen.
