Answer 1

I guess god is not perfect then.

Answer 2

Your question should not be viewed as rude or even offensive. It does, however, show a lack of instruction, learning, and understanding. In other words, you are ignorant. Being ignorant isn't so bad, as long as one does not stay ignorant.
The bible is the revealed word and will of God. In its original form, there are no inaccuracies, contradictions, or errors, of any kind. Any apparent contradiction is either in ones understanding or in the translation. For the believing believer, the bible has answers, power, truth, and certainty. For the unbeliever, it only has riddles and confusion.

Proverbs 25:2
It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honor of kings is to search out a matter.

1 Corinthians 2:14
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Let's address your two situations given here. First of all, God does not kill. The devil has the power of death (Heb.2:14). Secondly, 'spare the rod and spoil the child', is not scripture!
You need instruction.

Answer 3

1. Thou shalt not murder. Period. You can BE killed as a punishment for murder if found guilty and you do not ask for sanctuary ( usually it was a town or building (like jail)). You had to stay in sanctuary for a prescribed number of years to be absolved of your crime. If you left too soon (or didn't go), you could be killed by a friend or relative of the victim in the name of justice.

2. If you are reading the Bible in English, French, Italian, Spanish, etc....you are not reading God's words as these languages are "lay" languages. (and there was a big-to-do when the Bible was translated into them...still is) Even Latin is not it's original language. And since it has passed through a number of lands and been written originally or translated into so many different languages, the idea that the Word is still pure is silly.

God is infallible, Man needs Spell check

Answer 4

G-d's word is G-d's word. I believe every word of it. Take a closer look and study the passages again with the context in consideration.

No, there is no opposite to spare the rod and spoil the child. It's true too.

Thou shalt not kill is one of our commandments. He ordered people to be killed in holy battles, but on a day to day individual basis we are not suppose to kill.

Old testament is old covenant and new testament is new conventant.

hope this helps...dig a little deeper

God Bless....

Answer 5

It's a matter of what's appropriate. We should not kill, but certain offenses are worthy of death. It's just like in our society, we value freedom, but that sometimes requires putting people in jail to protect it. How can we value freedom and put people in jail? But it makes sense.

For the record, there is no opposing idea to "spare the rod and spoil the child" in Scripture. It's pretty consistent about parental discipline being a good thing.

Answer 6

The answer is that the bible is not God's word. It was created by, edited, translated, altered and influenced by PEOPLE.

The original version was highly unlikey to have expressed God's will, and since then the book has been twisted by numerous political and religious powers. As a result, we're left with a document that is filled with contradictions and inconsistancies.

Don't get me wrong. I don't mean to marginalize people's faith, but if you are seeking devine verities you should seek them out in the real world and not inside this book.

Answer 7

What's with the taking the "o" out, does the "o" have some kind of power, does taking the "o" out of God take away the power of the word or are people afraid of God or of the word GOD? This doesn't make sense to me and yes the Bible does sometimes contradict itself, but some people have made an art out of explaining this away. I'm sure you'll get many fine answers from those people.

Answer 8

Ploooffoooo! Schmooofloouuaa!

TRANSLATION:
Hello there, I'm Sampson the Elephant.

According to true Christian/Jewish tradition, only the laws set down by Moses and the voice of Jesus are the words of God. The rest of the Bible is actually witness to the word of God, and to the history of God's chosen people. The Quran, on the other hand, is respected by Muslims as the exact word of God as translated by Muhammad.

This translation brought to you by the GOP. That's the GOP-- fighting terrorists since we funded their training camps to fight the SU in the early '90s.

Answer 9

The opposite of "spare the rod" could be, "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger" (Proverbs 15:1).

Answer 10

Yes, it is Gods word.....All the writers wrote with the Holy Spirit in them, making the Holy Spirit the author. 2 Tim 3:15-16... All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. ....Isaiah 40:8 - The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever.”

Answer 11

In order to understand the words of a book written nearly 3000 years ago, you must understand what was happening in that culture as well as in the cultures of the peoples they lived among (Egyptians, Assyrians, etc.).
In books of today, there wouldn't be laws about running red lights if no one were running red lights!
