Re: List: 30 Pairs Of Bible Verses That Contradict One Another by cronsberg: 11:49pm On Jul 12, 2015 |
what i find funny about christians is that as soon as you catch them using their own book, they make the excuse that you don't have the holy spirit in you thats why you can't understand the verses correctly Look christians, we don't doubt that indeed the is a book revealed to jesus, but you have to agree that the book was corrupted through the ages. I was recently debating with this christian girl who desperately wanted me to convert to christianity, I told her that if christianity is the teachings and believing in the teachings of Jesus christ, then we muslims are more christian than the christians themselves. I showed her some verses in the bible where Jesus among other prophets performed ablution, went into the temple and prostrate on their faces (in other words, a describtion of the muslim prayer) and asked her why she and other christians aren't praying like that, all she could say was that i need the holy spirit first . What about the verse that said in the day of judgement, people will meet jesus and say, lord lord, have we not prophesied in your name, and your name cast out demons and heal the blind and the leppers, Jesus will say depart from me, i know you not. By the way, why are christian girls walking around without a veil when Paul said when you see a woman who is not covering her hair, shave it off. Paul said that, its right there in your bible. |

This is the case when a natural man tries to understand and expain the spiritual. Get the spirit of the word first; get salavtion and then you will understand the seemingly contradictory passages Shalom |

OP, All religions are manmade (the sooner you realise this, the better for you) and as we all know there is not one topic out there that all humans have unanimously agreed on, so u should expect such contradictions! For all those hiding under the canopy of "context", do well to read those verses with their contexts and come back here to enlighten us. For those who claim the OP needs holy spirit to understand those verses, I will assume u all have the holy spirit. If yes, consult him and come back here to set the records straight....after all Paul said this is one purpose of the bible (for setting things straight) And for those who claim the bible is a misery. Misery breeds confusion. And your bible says "God is not the author of confusion". Please enlighten us on what you mean by "the bible is a misery". If u can't, then please stop going about carrying a misery, using it as a reference tool to preach to people about a perfect God. 1 Like |

THANKS A LOT SUPERSUAVE FOR EXPOSING THESE VERSES TO PUBLIC SCRUTINY. AND U TOO, MACTONI91! U HAV FURNISHED ME WITH AMPLE MATERIAL FOR MORE INTENSIVE STUDY OF THE SCRIPTURES. IT APPEARS TO ME SUPERSUAVE, THAT U ARE AN HONEST PERSON WHO RESPECTS THE BIBLE AND DESIRES SOMEONE TO CLEAR UP THESE SEEMING CONTRADICTIONS. AT LEAST, THAT IS HOW I INTERPRET UR CAVEAT TO ATHEISTS. IF SO, REST ASSURED THAT URE ALREADY ON THE RIGHT PATH. THE FOUNDER OF CHRISTIANITY GENEROUSLY PRAISED HIS HUMBLE FOLLOWERS FOR ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT THINGS THEY FOUND DIFFICULT TO GRASP AND ENCOURAGED SAME. (MATT 7:7) I WAS QUICKLY IRRITATED BY THOSE SELF RIGHTEOUS COMMENTERS WHOM WHEREAS THEY WERE AS CONFOUNDED AS U ARE, QUICKLY DISMISSED U AS LACKING 'THE SPIRIT' AND REBUKED U FOR SEEKING ENLIGHTENMENT. ONE EVEN ACCUSED U OF BLASPHEMY. THESE ARE THE GULLIBLE FANATICS PARADING IGNORANCE AND MAKING CHRISTIANITY UNATTRACTIVE TO ENLIGHTENED INDIVIDUALS. U ARE FAR WISER THAN THEY WILL EVER BE! WHAT U ARE DOING IS SEEKING FOUNDATION FOR UR FAITH. FOR IF THE BIBLE IS FULL OF INCONSISTENCIES, THEN IT BELIES ITS CLAIM TO DIVINE AUTHORSHIP. BLIND, BASELESS BELIEF IS CREDULITY, NOT FAITH. THE BIBLE IS FREE OF CONTRADICTIONS. OF THAT, I'M CONVINCED. AND I'M EAGER TO PROVE THAT TO U! SUBSEQUENTLY, I SHALL ADDRESS EACH OF THE 30 'CONTRADICTIONS' WITH A VIEW TO RESOLVING THEM. AT A GLANCE, I CAN EASILY RECONCILE MAJORITY OF THE 'CONTRADICTIONS'. THOUGH, IM SEEING SOME FOR THE FIRST TIME. IF U COULD PROVIDE ME UR EMAIL ADD, I COULD FORWARD THE CLARIFICATIONS TO U AS A WORD OR PDF ATTACHMENT, ONCE IM DONE. KINDEST REGARDS. SOFTWHISPERS 2 Likes |

Jesus said 'you err because you do not know the scriptures nor its power'. He even gave the teachers of the law a contradictory passage of the scripture which they were unable to explain. (Matt 22:15-46). But until we understand that the Word of God is not mere letters, but actually spirit and life, we get nothing from it. Infact it will sound foolish as many have affirmed here. 'For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God' 1Corin1:18. Though covered in letters (bible), the actual Word is the personality and power behind it. (John 1:1-5; 6:63). Who also have made us able ministers of the new testament, (b) not of the letter but of the spirit; for the letter killeth but the spirit giveth life. (/b) 2Corin 3:6. I can't explain how it works but those whose spirit are receptive to God knows this experience I am talking about. So if you want contradictions you will find many, but those are the letters NOT THE WORD OF GOD. 1 Like |

Look at all these people that can't even see the OBVIOUS contradictions. It shows how most Nigerians are ridden with an inability to be logical and use reason. How can we solve the complicated problems in Nigeria, when most Nigerians can't even identify an obvious contradiction?! No wonder our country is basically a third world hell hole. . 1 Like |

NOBODY should be deceived by the OP. He seems to put a barrier to ward of atheists from this thread but what I can see clearly is that the OP is an atheist. If the OP knows the bible so well ( as he claimed to be a Christian and not an atheist as he denies ), why did he "forget" to quote "1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion , but of peace, as in all churches of the saints." The bold print shows that there is not a jot of error in the Bible or in the texts quoted. The mistakes are from the OP so, let him go and do further in depth study and not read the bible with a shallow mind and then come here to pick out things or places he does not understand and call them "errors" or "contradictions". |

I don't understand what the heck you mean by the story happened. Your twins in the story are fictional and used to illustrate at fact. Thus the twins, the father and the house do not exist. You cannot say the father exists but the twins were made up to buttress your fact. When jesus spoke in parables it was clearly stated. Who is tasked with the responsibility of determining what and where is not factual and why should this be done after the fact. Was the Bible written for three supposedly enlightened people? You cannot write the above story in a history book cos it's fictional. You edified now? sukkot: |

vapid:your bible wielding hypnotists are in darkness. those who understand the deeper secrets of the bible are not supposed to share it with the masses. its only a certain part of the deeper understandings that can be shared but the real deeper understandings can never be shared. so those who under it deeply are not trying to hypnotize because they are not supposed to share. those who hypnotize with the bible are those who dont understand it. so your statement makes no sense |

vapid:[b]hey ? I am not putting myself in the group of those who understand it deeply because it is not my place but what I can tell you is that I have been blessed with knowing that the secrets of the bible are given to very few men in the world. if you read the bible it lets you know that the secrets of the bible will only be given to a hand full of men. and these men will then become the spiritual guide to the whole world when the kingdom of God is established on earth. so there are deeper scientific levels of the bible that you can never even begin to understand. all the secrets of this world be it astronomy, esoteric symbolism, numerology are all coded in that bible. for example do you know that you can read the whole bible without actually opening the book if you understand the numerology of how it was arranged ? like if you give someone a chapter and a verse in any book they can tell you what it says without opening the bible because of how everything is arranged chapter and verse wise based on the message and information being conveyed ? i bet you didnt know that did you ? like i said, the bible is not what you think it is and only a handful of people in this world know what it is. it is a book full of codes for unlocking the secrets of the universe. it is not a book about some guy named abraham and his descendants etc etc. thats just the literal reading for the enjoyment of the masses. but beneath that literal text is some deep dark secrets[/b] |
