mistakes in the bible (2)?

Question

I
Error # 1

Was Enoch a member of the sixth generation after Adam (as indicated in Genesis 5 and Luke 3) or of “the seventh after Adam” as it states in the epistle of Jude?

Error #2

Did the Last Supper take place on the evening of Passover (Matthew 26:17-20; Mark 14:12-17; Luke 22:7-14), with the crucifixion occuring the next day and therefore “not on the feast day” (Matthew 26:5; Mark 14:2), or did it take place on the evening before Passover as John reports, so the crucifixion took place on the day of Passover -- that is, on the feast day (compare John 13:1-2; 18:39; 19:14, 31, 42)?

Error #3

Why does Matthew say that Jesus came to live in Nazareth “that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene” (Matthew 3:23)? There is no such prophecy anywhere in the Old Testament.

Error #4.

Is God all-knowing (I John 3:20) or does he sometimes have to find out things (Genesis 18:20-22)?

Error #5

Was the potter’s field purchased by Judas before his death (Acts 1:15-19) or by the priests after his death (Matthew 27:3-10)?

Answer 1

Well spotted. There are so many mistakes in the new testament, but so many Christians are brainwashed to accept it as the literal truth.

But what do you expect from a book that was approved by a pagan Roman Emperor?

Answer 2

Why does Matthew say that Jesus came to live in Nazareth “that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene” (Matthew 3:23)? There is no such prophecy anywhere in the Old Testament.

Isaiah said that, 800 years before Jesus' birth.

You take everything out of its context.

If those contradictions (among the thousands of other supposed contradictions) were true errors, why would so many people still believe it?

The people that make these contradictions have no relationship with God, or understanding of the Holy Spirit, or the Word of God.

Answer 3

Adam was the first generation therefore Enoch was the seventh ... in Genesis. therefore your first error was not from the Bible but from your own understanding. you left off the first generation when trying to show this as an error.

Error 1
Adam, Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared, Enoch....... unless my math is wrong that is 7 generations, not six.

Error 2
Last Supper, same day different way of wording it. That's a no brainer!!!

Error 3
Matthew 3 only has 17 verses, again error is on you not God's Word.

Error 4
No where in Genesis 18:20-22 states that God didn't know. He heard the outcry of the people and came down.

Error 5
twist in your own understanding once again. Judas sold Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. The priest didn't want Jesus blood on their hands after they traded with Judas with the silver. Therefore they thought they could clean the blood off their hands by buying the potter's field.

Good effort in trying to prove that the Bible has mistakes. But, it will not cut the mustard here.

Answer 4

For error 4 I have a possibility. God is all-knowing not because he knows all but sees all, through his angels and such prophets. Those verses refer to Abraham and Sarah being at home when three MEN walk up, then Abraham refers to one of the men as being God, But it does not say that He is God. Abraham speaks to Him as if he were though. And then in the next chapter the two men who continued on are discovered to be Angels by Lot. If he wanted to see the carnage for himself then the third man would have been in the city also, understandably leaving you to believe that it was God and two Angels, but it was the two Angels alone who entered the city and saw the people and behavior. It was the Angels who called, from the ground, the decision that the city would be destroyed. God did not go and see it for Himself, therefore he saw it through the two men; Angels, messengers, prophets, whatever they were. Through his followers He was able to know all.

Answer 5

i agree. some subject matters get replaced at the same time as coming down the grape vine. human beings do now no longer learn out the reality that there change right into a lot that wasn't accepted about psychological challenge concerns and so on. i.e. rape is about administration now no longer sex and rapists (authentic rapists) won't be able to be rehabilitated and that is been shown. (of direction they though get little or no penal complex time move figure that one out) then of direction it change into recognized at as a sexual act and that the female lost her virginity to that guy so it made him her husband in God's eyes (that adjust into then) we now recognize that those adult males aren't any further precise interior the proper. so effective we've were given right here for the time of more advantageous acceptable innovations yet does now no longer mean it change into flawed via technique of actuality in presently it made journey and regulate into precise. (i'm hoping all of that is sensible) so that is larger like we've developed. also marriages were strictly a religous journey decrease decrease back then and it wasn't a criminal challenge. the Bible change into ideal (in an attempt to communicate) for biblical circumstances and there are various practise that would want to though practice on the on the spot. the merely correct guidlines are what we are meant to take from the bible alongside with ten commandments sinning and so on. there are too many factors to made and not in any respect sufficient room or time to do it. so effective you're precise you would possibly want to appreciate that some subject matters are previous interior the Bible and though be a christian.

Answer 6

These are some very good questions. I have found it helpful to join bible studies led by someone with a great deal knowledge. I also find it helpful to read books about that time in history.
For example. I took a bible study class with a priest who graduated from the Harvard School of Divinity. And in that class about the book of Mark this Priest came up with copies of the original text from that 1st AD. I hope that helps you

Answer 7

If you can show me the mistake in loving the Lord your god with all your heart and all your soul and all your strength and loving your neighbor as yourself, I will show you what you consider to be mistakes. It is so peculiar that men made up a bunch of stories and compiled them into one book and then did nothing to try and explain away appearances of discrepancy though the opportunity was surely afforded them. Nobody looking to deceive someone would go about it in such a manner.

Answer 8

I just want to comment on "error #4" right now

It is not a Biblical error, it is a doctrinal error. God is all knowing the same way He is almighty. God does not choose to display His might or use it all the time, He also chooses not to know everything there is to know in advance, this is what gives us free will. If God chose to know everything there is to know in advance, there is no free will and the entire Bible is moot.

Answer 9

Ask God in earnest to reveal the truth to you according to what your mind can handle each day. If you mean it He will answer you.

Answer 10

The same place where you THINK you discovered errors is the same place you will find the answers.
