no actually i havent ever received a valid answer from a christian. they usually beat around the bush or claim im wrong, regardless of the evidence ive given them.
they pull the blindfold tighter and walk away.
edit: like the guy above me, he says that because he is blind to the truth. he's seen people discredit the bible, he just refuses to listen to them. its kind of like when u tell a 5 yr old not to do something. they ignore you and pretend they didnt hear.

Some of the 'contradictions' that people come up with, such as the SAB are pretty weak. These I have seen rational explanations for.
As the contradictions get more serious (PI=3, bats are birds, two versions of Genesis) then the apologetics get more and more convoluted.
When you end up at the obviously ridiculous things (young Earth, the flood) you either end up with laughable answers, or the fall back of "that's just an allegory". I can understand when Jesus tells a parable, then that is an allegory. But when something reported as absolute truth is allegorical, how can we tell if all the rest is 'true' or 'allegorical'?
What will happen to the NT when archeology finally admits that neither Bethlehem or Nazareth existed in the 1st century? Will those bits be allegorical, but the rest remain absolute truth?

some Catholic bibles altered the ten commandments getting rid of the bit approximately not worshiping statues. customarily the variations are greater mundane merely utilising diverse phrases to supply a similar unique meaning. The JWs use their very very own translation their pupils translated. so an prolonged way as i know they saved genuine to unique meaning, besides the shown fact that it would not end them from having unusual techniques. examine on for a greater academic answer. -------------------- Modal good judgment means that for everyone concepts there is unique information of certainty that they on my own can know if defined to them in a novel way. this means that no person e book can describe the fullness of the attributes of a hypothetical God, and God could certainly could have a holy spirit to bare the certainty to each heart. The greek theory of a emblems, which comprise Jesus, to personify God in an humanly comprehensible vogue arises from this concept from modal good judgment. yet another element of this concept is the theory that each guy or woman will locate diverse truths interior the single textual content cloth. yet all that's particularly off subject count. we've diverse variations of the Bible because of the fact the Bible exchange into not written initially in English. diverse human beings tried to translate it at diverse cases. E.g. The King James Bible exchange into written in a gutter (problem-unfastened)form of old english. In those days in basic terms the elite used "you" and "yours". the stable information bible exchange into written interior the twentieth century in you and yours variety whilst Thee and nevertheless grew to alter into formal communicate. There are nonetheless some blunders in immediately's translations. E.g. The commandment "do not kill" could have been translated "do not homicide" because of the fact the interest used actually meant do not illegally kill. interior the Bible God instructed the Israelites to dedicate genocide. Killing exchange into needless to say now and returned condoned. The Bible as all of us comprehend it exchange right into a selection of stuff chosen by utilising a gaggle of clergymen in Nicaea long after the time the occasions supposedly happened. They declare God inspired them what to decide for yet God is accustomed to in the event that they have been telling the certainty. additionally there have been suspected transcription errors via the years such that immediately's Bible would not be fairly comparable to initially written. Many historians have faith the Bible is often a gaggle of fairy thoughts besides.

No, just rationalization.
My favorite is when god commanded stoning to death in the OT for adultery.
The response (in a published book) was that this was god's way of controlling the spread of sexual diseases!
If the omnipotent being will resort to murder before suggesting a condom, why do we consider the bible god moral?

No. Anything that proves to be wrong is said to be something that must be taken metaphorically or symbolically rather than literally.

No. They are defending something illogical, so thier answers are illogical.

you don't need to discredit the Bible. it does it by itself.

You atheists disqualify yourselves with your lack of knowledge and understanding. For the word of God is alive and exerts power and is sharper than any two edged sword and pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of joints and their marrow, and is able to discern thoughts and intensions of the heart. And there is not a creation that is not manifest to his sight, but all things are naked and openly exposed to the eyes of him with whom we have an accounting.
