Harold? To God 1 day is as a 1000yrs and 1000yrs like a day. God said that the day they ate of it, they would surely die, & to dust they will return. Well they died spiritually (denied the tree of life) then they died physically within 1000 yrs.

Jesus was crucified before the passover.

Jewish tradition is to kill the passover lamb before the passover. Jesus is the passover lamb, so His blood washes away our sins. We overcome the death angle. The wages of sin is death.

The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing.

Only the original scriptures constitute the inspired and inerrant, written word of God.
All the copies and translations, and all the other versions fall short, due to human factors, some intentional, some accidental.
Assuming you could successfully determine what's true and what's not, than unnecessary criticism would indeed be calling God a liar.
Otherwise, you might just be keeping men honest.
Don't take everything that's been labeled as God's word, for granted!

Not really, we are just pointing out that the Bible has been translated many, many times through many generations. Put it this way sit in a circle of 30 of your closest friends. Now tell the first of those 30 friends a secret and tell them to pass that secret on to the next person and the next and so on,,,, I will bet you serious money that by the time the secret gets to the 30th person that secret will not be anything close to what the first person started with. In this theory alone you have the Bible There simply is no logical way to hand down these stories and keep them, accurately. Also keep in mind that the Bible was originally written in Aramaic, a language without vowels. So my next question/point to you is, how do we accurately translate something from Aramaic to English?

Help me out here, since you seem to be so much the believer in the Holy Bible:
Mark 14:12 15:25 tells me that Jesus was crucified the day after the Passover.
It's in the Bible, so it must be true, right?
John 19:14 says that the crucifixion was the day before the Passover.
It's in the Bible, so it must be true, right?
Which one is more true?

No, they are mostly calling some of his followers a liar. And pleading for everyone to revisit the translation of the ORIGINAL scriptures.
Sometimes they are provoked into criticizing by the hatred they experience from people who misrepresent god's word to "judge" or condemn them.
As I was reading the bible i saw a 3 legged dog walk into a bar looking for the man who shot his PAW!

I agree with Gemma. Not every god-believer considers the Bible to be the unerring word as delivered to mankind from God himself. It's a collection of writings by a variety of persons written at different times and places and working under a variety of motivations unknown to us. (E.g., some scholars believe that certain books, such as Job, are satire and were never meant to be taken literally.) Much of the literature has been altered over time by other authors. Some of these changes were deliberate, others were mere errors.

No one is calling God a liar, they're just saying that the Bible is an enormous crock of baloney written by a bunch of nuts who thought that God was talking to them, that's all. They didn't mean to lie when they wrote it all down in the Bble because they actually believed that what they were writing was true, just like you still do. Actually they were all just sufferering from a very big hallucination.

Questionning the Bible is not calling God a liar. It's called a bunch of ancient men that believed they were talking to God liars. That's the difference between then and now: back then talking with God made you a prophet. Today we just call those people crazy.

I don't believe in a god, so I don't attribute any qualities, such as truthfulness or deceptiveness to him, or her, or it. I criticize The Bible because it says a lot of things that are at odds with what I think is true.

People who criticize the bible are in fact people who dont believe in it. I used to stress myself out over those things but now i dont because everyone will know the truth in the end.

Are you referring to atheists? You can't really call something that you think doesn't exist a liar. I'm an atheist an I criticize the Bible in debates and such to prove my points.
