Question

What do you think of this

or this

Answer 1

my opinion is this- every time I get things that talk about the so called contradictions in the Bible and I begin to research- I realizethat the person that sent them did not do their homework.
A lot of this are seen as such because either a) the scripture or information was taken out of context - you cannot judge a scripture on its own merit- you have to take into account what is going on in the rest of the chapeter or book even.
b) there may be many Hebrew words with slightly different meaning but close enough that it all got translated into one English word (such as the word love- if you look that up in oyur concordance you will find that the one word love was translated as that from several different Hebrew words) the meaning becomes a little hazy unless you go back to the original Hebrew and the point they were trying to get across. c) often they are talking about two different events and trying to make it the same event. d) they have not taken into account the point of view of the person writing or the audience to whom they were writing to. d) they are trying to interpret or understand the Bible from the midset of the culture and time they understand now without taking into account the culture and understanding it was written from.
I find a lot of misinformation in these websites- they are not coming from an objective stance but a demeaning and critical attitude that does not seek truth buto nly seeks to disprove by any means they can find- even if it is a stretch. Just because something sounds good or intelligent -does not mean it is.
Study to show thyself approved!

Answer 2

Fact or Fiction:

2 Peter 3:2-4 (King James Version)


2That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:

3Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

4And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.




With current events and the prophetic completions or pending completions, it is fact.

Answer 3

in most cases it leaves out the rest of the chapter or verse. it often stops mid sentence in some cases if you were to read on after it stops it would explain the contradiction and prove it not to be so. in some place the thing that is contradicted was said long after the contradiction occured. some times the translation is not compleatly accurate.

they need to include all the facts.

Answer 4

Keep in mind that they have taken the original scripture out of context, and when out of context it loses its true meaning. That's why it seems that the Bible contradicts itself more than it truly does.

Remember too that the Bible was written over a long period of time. While it may have been unacceptable at one point to do something, opinion may have later changed. People expect God never to change his mind, and indeed he did.

Answer 5

There are many things we don't understand about the Bible. Contradictions are easy to find. Faith takes seconds, understanding may take a lifetime.

Everyone has their right to their opinion! Ever notice how much energy and time atheists spend thinking about God? It's like they are obsessed with GOD!

Answer 6

it truly is an outstanding question no longer in basic terms because there is one commandment that asserts "you shall do not have the different gods before me" yet because He obviously makes a huge difference between gods and idols. numerous different posters have reported "oh, he means do not positioned faux gods or worship cows or television or funds" because the reasoning at the back of the commandment. yet if that were real, why does the subsequent commandment say "you shall do not have the different idols before me"? What, then, is the version between different gods and different idols. in the adventure that they are an similar component, why say it two times? I continuously concept this became an exciting factor, and puzzled if it did advise there have been different gods (or perchance different angels attempting to set themselves us as gods?). obviously there is a few thing up, as there's a level made up of pointing out both "gods" and "idols".

Answer 7

Man - they left off the easy one - What were Jesus' final words before dying on the cross?

Version 1: Matthew 27:45 / Mark 15:33 - "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

Version 2: Luke 23:46 - "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit."

Version 3: John 19:30 - "It is finished."

Also, did he cry after saying these words or not? I'm a little fuzzy.

Answer 8

The Bible is not contridictory. People who dont understand it, may have trouble with it, and think theyre onto something, stick it on some biased web site and call it truth, and thats what you link to. Nothing more, but biased propaganda from uneducated people.

Answer 9

I think it's a lot of rot. They always compare scripture out of context to make it look the way they would like it to. Context is everything.
The Bible, every verse matches perfectly. God's word is perfect as He is perfect.

Answer 10

I do not know how to explain it. All that I can say is that Christianity itself is based on faith and trust. If you continually question, you can never truly believe.
