If the Bible is God's Word then why there are uncountable errors in it?

Question

e.g. Leviticus, Ch. No.12 Verse No.1 to 5, says that… ‘After a woman gives birth to a male child, she will be unclean for 7 days, and the period of uncleanliness will continue for 33 days more. If she gives birth to a female child, she will be unclean for two weeks, and the period of uncleanliness will continue for 66 days. In short, if a woman gives birth to a male child… ‘a son’, she is unclean for 40 days. If she gives birth to a female child… ‘a daughter’, she is unclean for 80 days. I chellenge no anybody to explain to me scientifically, how come a woman remains unclean for double the period, if she gives birth to a female child, as compared to a male child.

2/ ‘Mathematics’ is a branch, which is closely associated with science, with which you can solve problems, etc. There are thousands of contradictions in the Bible - hundreds deal with mathematics, and I’ll first touch on few of them. It is mentioned in Ezra, Ch. No.2, Verse No.1, and Nehemiah, Ch. No.7, Verse No.6,

Answer 1

Why did God tell the leper to dip himself in the Jordan River? There is no scientific evidence that the J. River has healing properties. Faith is obeying God when we don't understand why. Yet, the leper was healed. Go figure.

Answer 2

Regarding your criticism of Ezra-Nehemiah: it seems clear that there were more than one group "returning". All people who went from Babylon back to Jerusalem when they were permitted to did not go at the same time, and these two reports are telling of different convoys. Why did the Almighty set up a different set apart time after the birth of a male child compared to a female child? I can't tell you. Do you suppose that it might have to do with the difference in bonding of the children? I don't know, I am guessing. Why does it matter? Perhaps there was some error in translation, and the Almighty didn't really say it exactly as we have it.... Since the temple is destroyed, and animal sacrifices are not now being made, I guess there are more important things to worry about. Instead of focusing on what you don't understand (and no doubt there is much of that), it would be better to focus on what you do understand. What the Holy Spirit has communicated to us are the facts for which we are responsible.

Answer 3

Actually that is a bold claim that you are making. So you are claiming to know all truth as you are denouncing truth. Moreover you are claiming to be all wise and all knowing. Maybe the problem is in your mind. First off in the fact that you nor any person knows even 1/2 of a percent of all known knowedge you could never be called smart much less all knowing. Actually according to the amount of actual knowedge that exist today one would rate you right up there with a rock.
Please do not associate the science of mathemathics as supporting your madness. Math atest to the fact God does exist and that he has ordered the universe and that this universe could not have evolved over millions of year, nor could humans have lived on the earth for more then a few thousand years. Math also test to the error of the dating methods of carbon 14 dating and the errors of all know system for dating the earth. Math actually deals with fact, evidence and reason. These things you do not use.
Might is subjest a study of the hebrew mistic numbers were these events are explained as a revelation of the numbers association with things that have or are taking place with israel. the 7 days are the days of creation, the 33 days are the years of christ physical life, the 40 day are the 40 years of the wilderness, the 66 days are the bible books, the 80 days are the 80 weeks of daniel. Like i said maybe you should study what you are actually reading from the hebrews themselfs who have known these things for many years.
And why would you want us to prove to you scientificaly the things of God. Science is perverted an is just a bunch of nuts in these times, trying to prove they have the right to sin. And that they are there own god. Science is not pure today it fall off course many years ago and is debased in the areas of reason verses fiction. Fiction is fiction and reason is reason and science left out reason in favor of pure fiction.

Answer 4

I could go on and on about the contraditions in the bible but listing something like the first you mention is as dumb as a creationsist with a thermodynamics argument.
No proof needs to be given for such a state of being unclean, it is a ritual matter. If you want to refute the bible point out al the verses that say A here and Not A there. Etc. your first point is like asking why there are still monkeys.

Answer 5

Well first off, the bible was written in a language that we don't know. It was translated into english to be read by us. Those errors could be caused by translation errors or by not having the proper english words to translate so the meaning was thrown off course. Plus a male was born of God and created by God whereas a female was born of man's rib. You must interpret the bible as you see it and not as others. I read into this that a man is more pure since we were made out of his image and our rib and it was women that first sinned. Being unclean, what do the really mean, that a woman should not have sex for that ammount of time, that back when there was no douche or other forms of cleaning your vagina area after birth, maybe it took that long for nature to take its course to clean her, or even maybe religion and the bible was put here to test our faith. I believe errors could exist on purpose to see if we will still believe and not let science control us. By seeing an error and loosing our faith, that could be a test to see how strong our faith is.

Answer 6

>>I chellenge no anybody to explain to me scientifically, how come a woman remains unclean for double the period, if she gives birth to a female child, as compared to a male child.<<

It has nothing to do with science. It is religious ritual.

Answer 7

it is supposedly god's words. st. ereneous a pope before was asked by a roman emperor to but all the gospels in one book to be called the bible. since there were sooo many gospels he needed to choose the best among them. so he removed the gospels that contradict each other and the gospels that may be misinterpretted by people reading it. he also eddited it to make bible all good. after the editing and all the bible was born.
as we can see a fallible edittd the bible so opinions and temptations in changing may have happed.
the people who also made the gospels are fallible what if they were under the influence of drugs when they made their gospels or they exaggerated the thing happening in their time. or worst they just made it up just to have a gospel.
there are also other errors caused by the interpretors and translators of the bible.

Answer 8

Well the obvious answer is that it's not the "inspired word of God" but is instead a collection of ancient myths and superstitions which were written down over centuries after being passed down for millenia by word of mouth. Then you throw in a few personal prejudices,hatred and subjegation of women,total lack of scientific knowledge,total hatred of any group different than yours and voila you have the "Holy Bible" All you have to do to realize the true nature of the Bible is to look at the similarities with that which came before it,and you see that it's nothing more than the evolution of previous superstitions and myths.

Answer 9

The Bible is not for everyone and that is why it does start by just stating "In the beginning God..." but does not give account of this God, who he is and where he came from. Its a letter for believers who by the Holy Spirit are able to read in-between the lines and tie the loose ends. If you still see many contradictions pray hard and read again. God is not the author of confusion and God is His word.

Answer 10

The Levitical laws were demanded for by the Jews. The Ten Commandments which was Gods perfect law was not enough for them. The laws reflected them as a people.

Answer 11

Sorry the bible was written by man there are many contradictions, fairy tales and flat out lies so take it with a grain of salt. There is a lot of wisdom in the bible so it's not all bad.
