Question

with 1500 errors or contradictions in the bible, with 3 gods in one in the bible , for sure is the bible a holy book

Answer 1

Are there errors in the Bible?

This is a big question that’s very difficult answer completely without offending somebody or sounding like I am avoiding the question.

There are some technical considerations to keep in mind. First, we must remember that the Bible was written by many authors over a span of thousands of years, thousands of years ago, in two languages that are no longer spoken by anybody on Earth and on materials that were very rare and often quite fragile. If the Bible were any other book, it would be roundly celebrated as the best preserved, most consistent, and universally relevant book in the history of the world. If it were any other book, an inconsequential mismatch of detail would be quickly cataloged as a typo and never mentioned again. In truth, judged by the standards of far more recent manuscripts, the Bible stands up as extraordinary, unique, and unexplainably superior to any competitor.

Second, we need to keep in mind the changing face of history and the "errors" it may indicate. For example, for many years Bible critics emphatically stated that no archeological evidence existed to support the contention that criminals were crucified during Jesus' time. However, a pair of heel bones were recently found. These bones had been nailed together and were dated to be contemporary to Jesus' Jerusalem. With that discovery, the Bible was suddenly vindicated, the "error" vanished, and critics moved on to their next "air-tight" case.

Lastly, remember that an error is often in the eyes of the beholder. Luke says that Jesus was born in a stable while Matthew says that the wise men visited Mary in a house. Critics say that this is a contradiction between the two accounts but a more balanced reading shows that there is no reason to infer that the events happened simultaneously. It's completely possible that the wise men came some time after Jesus' birth - allowing a period of several days, weeks or even a year for Joseph and Mary to settle down in a house.

Realistically, the question of the Bible's inerrancy has often divided the church from the world and occasionally has divided the church within itself. But the real question is not whether 100 generations of monks and scribes were able to copy every letter perfectly by hand. More important is the Bible's unparalleled history of saving lives, changing the world and speaking wisdom and truth into the most difficult situations. Next to that profound truth, a person’s inability to find where Cain's wife came from seems less and less important.

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works" (2 Timothy 3:16-17).




Question: "Does God make mistakes?"

Answer: Make no mistake about it, God makes no mistakes. "Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and His greatness is unsearchable" (Psalms 145:3). The original language for "unsearchable" incorporates the thought of not being possible to fathom or find out or enumerate. It is obvious that this statement cannot be made for one who could make a mistake, for then, even if only one mistake is made, it could be said that he were one who made at least one mistake; that is, his greatness could be quantified or enumerated as having been one who made one mistake, even if only one, and even if he were the only one who made only one.



"Great is our Lord, and of great power: His understanding is infinite" (Psalms 147:5). Again, the understanding of anyone capable of mistakes would be finite, not infinite. "God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, and shall He not do it? or hath He spoken, and shall He not make it good?" (Numbers 23:19). Here we see that God is not like man who makes mistakes and has afterthoughts leading to a change of mind, or that makes decrees that he later has to annul because he has not considered all the consequences, or that he lacks the infinite power to bring to pass that which he has said. Also, He is not like man whose mistaken and sinful morality begs retribution. "God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all" (1 John 1:5b). "The LORD is righteous in all His ways, and holy in all his works" (Psalms 145:17).



Perhaps someone would feign to find God having second thoughts about something He had done in the scripture: "And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them" (Genesis 6:5-7). First, note that He did not say He would destroy all men, for in the next verse, "But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD" (Genesis 6:8). And so it followed that Jesus came through Noah's son, Shem. No, God had not discovered a mistake in His works, not at all. He had a high and lofty purpose in permitting for a time the expression of the sin of mankind and angels.



To be sure, He made no mistake in creating Satan either, for, "What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?" (Romans 9:22-24). "And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, According to the eternal purpose which He purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Ephesians 3:9-11).



You see, God made no mistake, but had a purpose in all of this and the outcome is no surprise to Him, for He declares the end from the beginning, "Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure" (Isaiah 46:9-10).



A word about the word "repent" as used in scripture. This is important. When used of God, it incorporates according to original language the thought of grief, even compassionate grief, and consolation or comfort, and action taken thereupon. Yes, God felt suffering and grief on our behalf, but that is not a sign of weakness or error, or regret of mistake. Rather, it is a sign of strength, of love on behalf of another; yes, of Agape love. In a word, it portrays specific action taken by God to counteract our mistakes; that is, our sins. "But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound" (Romans 5:20b). When used of man, however, the word describes a change of heart, of thought and life's direction, based necessarily on the recognition of his own shortcomings, his sin, in the light of God's gracious call for his repentance for his own good.



Perhaps one may seem to think God has made a mistake in his or her own personal life's experiences. However, we are told, "... we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose" (Romans 8:28). In all this we must understand that the things of this life are expendable and are being spent for our eternal reward according to His grace who, "... is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy" (Jude 1:24). "For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal" (2 Corinthians 4:17-18). I am so glad my Lord and my God makes no mistakes with my life.



There is no fault in our God; there are no mistakes He has made. There is no fault, no mistakes made by His Son. In all of Satan's desperate effort to disclose one single fault in Jesus, he utterly failed while even his stooge Pontius Pilate declared, "Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man" (Luke 23:4).



This has been a very short discourse which could go on forever, for we serve an infallible God whose greatness cannot be enumerated. "Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered" (Psalms 40:5). "Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all His praise?" (Psalms 106:2). Here again, in this rhetorical question the scripture challenges us, just dares us to even try to quantify or qualify the greatness of our God. Were we able to point out even one single mistake or fault of His we could put a qualifier on His greatness and this scripture could be repealed, but no worry, it stands forever. "For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven" (Psalms 119:89).

Answer 2

There are no contradictions in the Bible. We have the Old Testament and we have the New Testament. Jesus Christ fulfilled the Old Testament.
The Father
The Son
And the Holy Spirit are one...God!!

Luke 18:18 Jesus is talking about how hard it will be for a rich man to make it to heaven.

Answer 3

I'll tell u one incident why bible is 100% true for me. Before Jesus ascended to heaven, It is written in the bible that,

7 Jesus said to them, "The times and occasions are set by my Father's own authority, and it is not for you to know when they will be. 8 But when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will be filled with power, and you will be witnesses for me in Jerusalem, in all of Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." R4 9 After saying this, he was taken up to heaven as they watched him, and a cloud hid him from their sight.Acts 2

And though being a christian, even if I did have many experiences that God existed because my prayers were answered, I was amazed when I received Holy Spirit which Jesus said He will send just as bible speaks ...

God is there and when we try to contact Him, He will contact you. It is true .. Make effort to know God and God who can see you doing that, will answer you.

Answer 4

Any translator had to admit to the fact that they, for instance, removed God's name and why they felt they had to replace it by a title... but most people don't bother to read that part in the front of the Bibles...
The Scripture you mention here is the ultimate proof and only one of many anyhow that make the pagan ideas of "trinity" the lie that it always was... like Nemrod, his wife and his son... who is believed to have killed his father to marry his mother...
Oh why bother? with eyes that only see what they want to see... I'm not Jesus... If they didn't want to believe him,
why should they believe me???
So much as been said already... and they just want to make their heads as hard as their hearts...

Answer 5

If you have found all of this in the bible, then you aren't reading it the way it is meant to be read. Nowhere does it state there are 3 gods. You must be Muslim.

Answer 6

All 'holy texts' are man-made and therefore prone to errors and contradictions and absurdities and atrocious ideas.

Answer 7

Yeah. It ranks right up there with Superman Comics

Answer 8

god is not real 1501 mistakes
