Christians! Answer these if you can!!?

Question

it is mentioned in the 1st Kings,
Ch. No 7, Verse No 26, that…‘In Solomon’s temple, in his molten sea, he had 2000 baths. In 2nd Chronicles, Ch. No 4, Verse No 5, he had 3000 baths. Did he have 2000 baths or did he have 3000 baths? which is correct? There is a clear-cut mathematical contradiction. Further more it is mentioned in the First Kings, Ch. No. 15, Verse No. 33, that… ‘Basha, he died in the 26th
year of reign of Asa.’ And 2nd Chronicles Ch. No 16, Verse No 1, says that…‘Basha
invaded Judah in the 36th years of the reign of Asa.’ How can Basha invade 10 years
after his death? - It is unscientific.

Answer 1

One is written with that measument as HxWxD as a cubic object. The other is written as a half egg shaped/prolate spheroid and correct for volume containment.

One is correct in space this object occupied the other is correct the true volume containment.

it contained three thousand It contained this amount, but in I Kings (7:26) it is written: “It contained two thousand baths.” The heaped measure was a third, for a bath is three seah, as is said: (Ezek. 45:11): “The ephah and the bath shall have one volume.” Thus you have six thousand seah. This equals a hundred and fifty purifying pools for four thousand seah equal a hundred mikvaoth. And we find also for the remaining two thousand seah fifty mikvaoth, and even if you divide the vessel according to the measure that the Rabbis computed, namely a cubit by a cubit by the height of three cubits for a mikvah, you will find the same: for the height of three cubits, which was square, and which was ten by ten from its brim to its brim, are a hundred mikvaoth, and for the height of two cubits, where it was round, ten by ten from its brim to its brim around equal fifty mikvaoth, because a square is a fourth more than a circle.

______

36th year of Asa (41 year rulership) .... Basha went up ....

Basha ruled 24 years ....

Their leadership overlapped each verse is using a different time reference. This is easy to show on a linear chart.

Bismillāhir-Raúmānir-Raúeem

ASSALAM-O-ALAIKUM!

U posted very very very few there are faaaaaaarrrrrr more than that SINCE HOLY BIBLE IS VERY IS UNFORTUNAELY CORRUPTED SO IT IS VERY WRONG IN THE FOLLOWING DEPARTMENTS
1-SCIENCE
2-LOGIC
3-COMMON SENSE
4-HISTORICALLY
5-MATHEMATICAL ERRORS
6-CONFESSION OF CORRUPTION BY CHRISTIANS
7-ERRORS POINTED OUT BY MUSLIMS
8-ERROR POINTED OUT BY THE NON-MUSLIMS
9-TV PROGRAM FROM VERY RELIABLE TV CHANNEL LIKE "NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC".
10-MORALLY VERY LOW LANGUAGE. Etc

SINCE there are tons of tons CONTRADICTIONS in unfortunately corrupted HOLY BIBLE but I’ll mention only few this time so u can answer:

If we read, in Ezra Ch. No. 2, Verse No. 65, it says…There were 200 singing men and women - Nehemiah Ch. No. 7, Verse No. 67…‘There were 245 singing men and women.’ Were they 200 - or were they 245 singing men and women? Context is the same - A mathematical contradiction. It is mentioned in the 2nd Kings, Ch. No 24, Verse No 8, that…‘Jehoiachin was 18 years old, when he began to reign Jerusalem, and he reigned for 3 months and 10 days. 2nd Chronicles, Ch. No 36, Verse No 9, says that…‘Jehoiachin was 8 years old when he began to reign and he reigned for 3 months, 10 days. Was Jehoiachin 18 years when he began to reign, or was he 8 years old? Did he reign for 3 months, or did he reign for 3 months 10 days? Further it is mentioned in the 1st Kings, Ch. No 7, Verse No 26, that…‘In Solomon’s temple, in his molten sea, he had 2000 baths. In 2nd Chronicles, Ch. No 4, Verse No 5, he had 3000 baths. Did he have 2000 baths or did he have 3000 baths? which is correct?
There is a clear-cut mathematical contradiction. Further more it is mentioned in the First Kings, Ch. No. 15, Verse No. 33, that… ‘Basha, he died in the 26th year of reign of Asa.’ And 2nd Chronicles Ch. No 16, Verse No 1, says that…‘Basha invaded Judah in the 36th years of the reign of Asa.’ How can Basha invade 10 years after his death? - It is unscientific.

Further more, in 2nd Chronicles, Chapter No. 21, Verse No. 20, it says that… ‘Joaram, the father of Ahezia, he reigned at the age of 32 - and he reigned for 8 years, and he died at the age of 40. Immediately… Ahezia became the next ruler at the age of 42. Father died at the age of 40 - Immediately son takes over, who is at the age of 42. How can a son, be two years older than the father?’ Believe me even... even in Hollywood film, you will not be able to produce it.
Above all facts PROVED that HOLY BIBLE is unfortunately corrupted, i have much much more but space is too short for this.
WILL Christians PLZ ANSWER THIS?

Answer 3

I know - I know.....

Christians are so very infuriating with their "by any means necessary" explanations of things... Isn't it just MADDENING that the Bible is composed in such a way that it makes "just enough sense" to give the Christian just enough ammo to gain a following?
If only Archaeologists and Historians would find that darned smoking gun to put an end to all the nonesense once and for all! Your points are good, but if I know Christians - and I do - I was one for most of my adult life, until I personally got my PhD in Comparative Religions and found out that Jesus actually did not exist and that the entire Abrahamic Influence was entirely manufactured.
- That "Creationism" is a joke, Hell is cruel, there are no chariots at the bottom of the Red Sea, there is no Ark, all the non-Biblical historical accounts of Jesus are forgeries (Bishop Eusebius, etc.) The entire gospel story is a retelling of astrological phenomenon, Evolution is a fact, Religion is the enemy of curiosity, progress and discovery, my (one time) "relationship with Jesus" was clearly a psychological phenomenon with respect to my own insecurities as projected by society.
A Christian will respond to the above by saying that at one time Solomon had 2000 baths and by the time the next scripture was written, he had 3000.
As far as Basha, who knows, probably something like, it was Basha's son, because in those times, the son took his fathers identity, or maybe even that it is a manuscript translation error, which would be likely, translating from ancient manuscripte (there are NO original manuscripts, BTW)

Answer 4

The Hebrew verb rendered "contained" and "held" is different from that translated "received"; and the meaning may be that the sea ordinarily contained 2,000 baths. But when filled to its utmost capacity it received and held 3,000 baths. Thus the chronicler simply mentions the amount of water that would make the sea like a flowing spring rather than a still pool. This informs us that 3,000 gallons of water were required to completely fill the sea which usually held 2,000 gallons.

Another solution follows a theme mentioned earlier, that the number in Hebrew lettering for 2000 has been confounded by the scribe with a similar alphabetical number for the number 3,000.

It should be noted that Shabbir (in his debate on 25th February 1998 against Jay Smith in Birmingham, UK) quoted this "contradiction" and added to it saying that if the bath had a diameter of 10 cubits it cannot possibly have had a circumference of 30 cubits as the text says (since 'pi' dictates that it would have a circumference of 31.416 or a 9.549 diameter).

Answer 5

I don't see where someone's hygiene habit's Is relevant when It comes to the Bible. You can analyze,you know picking the Bible apart and make It say anything you want.The only thing that really matters Is have you received salvation ? When all Is said and done that's all that's really gonna count In the end anyway. Scientist have been trying to disprove the Bible for years. Very few Scientist are starting to realize that Sceince Is starting to line up with the word of God afterall. ,I would be more concerned with the destination of my eternal soul and then search God for the sweet nectar of His word.

Answer 6

I saw a guy run across the surface of a pool filled with a non-Newtonian fluid therefore God is real, and also the soul is an invisible organ in the human body which is teleported to one of two parallel universes, either heaven or hell when we die.

I'm an atheist, but let me guess, the devil is playing tricks on your eyes! You must read with a jaundiced view and interpret what the words mean!
