What is your favourite inaccuracy in any holy text?

Question

mine has to be that in genesis it says birds came from out of the water and then a few sentences later that they came out of the ground...

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air

thats the inaccuracy i was talking... if you are going to quote then do it properly

Answer 1

My all time favorite:

Quran 18:86 “(Zul-Qarnain travelled till) when he reached the setting of the sun, he found it set in a spring of murky water: near it (sun in spring) he found a People” http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/018.qmt.html#018.086

This is the greatest error in all religious scripture. Notce the crytstal clear re-telling of the MYTH OF THE LAND OF THE SETTING SUN.

Imagine you believe that the sun sets in a muddy spring as many people did in Muhammad's time. Try to retell this myth better than the Quran does....I assure you, its no easy task.

Answer 2

He brought them forth from the water and then commanded them to multiply on the earth.

Genesis 1:

20And God said, Let the waters BRING FOURTH abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

21And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

22And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl MULTIPLY in the earth.

Answer 3

much less complicated for me than maximum as i don't have a holy text fabric. Christopher Penczak's the interior Temple of Witchcraft. he's a organic skeptic so he's no longer certainly one of those Witch authors who merely says "Yeah it works, have faith me!" he's extra like "i comprehend it sounds ridiculous, yet try it for your self and take notes on what you word." He cuts in the process the "right it is a spell to try this!" which usually contains no longer something yet a poem and a meaningless action. He teaches the thank you to direct and build power, contains some chapters on quantum physics to describe the belief of why magick works, and makes a speciality of the non secular element of the Craft extremely than the make stuff take place crap that many authors write approximately.

Answer 4

Sorry don't have the verse and chapter handy, but Old Testy mentions guys that are like 600 years old or something.

Answer 5

the christians that say they live according to the bible and believe in heaven and hell, where the same bible says that people will live on earth with Jesus for a thousand years and the sinners will be dead . not in hell.revelations20 and 21 it is the new earth ,not heaven

you can only experience heaven or hell when you have a physical body. heaven is pure and happy thoughts, and hell is impure and depressing thoughts

Answer 6

How about the sky being a dome with water over it.

Answer 7

the bible itself is inaccurate.
Like earth is just 6000 years old.
If you refer to the text who offsets itself.
well the most inaccurate is the whole concept talking about love of god and then the wrath of god with its many examples.
The concept is easy: your own peoples are good, the rest evil so they must die, but lets rape them first, but oh, don't touch the wife of your friend, and yes, homo is a sin, but its ok to have sex and babies with your sister and daughter.

Answer 8

Genesis 1:26.... "And God said, Let US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness..................."

who ELSE was there?.... hmmmmm?.....

Answer 9

That God would allow Jesus to die.

Answer 10

The Bible is one big inaccuracy.
