Here are a few examples (by no means all, but perhaps most) of what Christian Pharisees demand that we believe as “inerrant” fact:

source: http://www.extremelysmart.com/insight/mistaken/Bible_errors.php

1.The Earth is a flat disk in shape, like a dinner plate, and rests upon mountain pillars.
◦“It is [God] who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them like a tent to live in.” — Isa. 40:22


◦“God has [created the Earth as] a circle on the face of the [chaos] waters [between the Earth and outer space], at the boundary between light and darkness.” — Job 26:10


◦ “I [Lady Wisdom] was brought forth when [God] had not yet made earth and fields, or the world's first bits of soil. When [God] established the heavens, I was there, when [God] drew a circle on the face of the deep.” — Prov. 8:26-27


◦ “The devil took [Jesus] to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor” [Matthew 4:8]. (Even from the top of Mt. Everest, it is impossible to see the “kingdom” of Greenland, to cite just one example.)


◦“God shakes the earth out of its place, and its pillars tremble.” — Job 9:6

◦“The pillars of heaven tremble, and are astounded at [God's] rebuke.” — Job 26:11

◦“When the earth totters, with all its inhabitants, it is I [God] who keep its pillars steady.” — Psalm 75:3

2.The sun revolves around the flat Earth.

◦“On the day when YHWH gave the Amorites over to the Israelites, Joshua spoke to YHWH; and he [unspecified whether Joshua or God] said in the sight of Israel, ‘Sun, stand still at Gibeon, and Moon, in the valley of Aijalon.’ And the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, until the nation took vengeance on their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? The sun stopped in midheaven, and did not hurry to set for about a whole day.” — Joshua 10:12-13

3.A metal dome,translated the “firmament” in the KJV, separates the sky from the chaos waters beyond. Holes in the metal dome let rain in — in other words, the sky is a giant, upside-down colander.

◦“And God said, ‘Let there be a dome in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters [of Earth] from the [chaos] waters [of outer space].’” — Genesis 1:6


◦ “[God] walks on the dome of heaven.” — Job 22:14

◦ “Again, on the second day, you created the spirit of the firmament, and commanded it to divide and separate the waters, so that one part might move upward and the other part remain beneath.” — 2 Esdras 6:41




4.The stars are little lights in the sky that are capable of falling to Earth like meteorites.

◦ “Immediately after the suffering of [66-70 C.E.] the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven will be shaken [Matthew 24:29].”


The Christian Testament's many predictions of the end of the world coming well before 100 C.E. are also erroneous.

5.One day can last 930 years.

◦ “And YHWH God commanded the human, ‘You may freely eat of every tree of the garden; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall die’” [Genesis 2:16-17].

The original text makes it clear that God is not speaking metaphorically or spiritually. Isn't it lucky that since death hadn't been invented yet, the human ("ha'adam," pronounced "ha ah DAHM" had no idea what God was talking about!

◦ “When Adam had lived one hundred thirty years, he became the father of a son in his likeness, according to his image, and named him Seth. The days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years.”— Gen. 5:3-4



6.Noah killed off all the okay-to-eat (“clean”) species of animal.

◦“Two and two, male and female, went into the ark with Noah [Gen. 7:8].

" Almost six weeks of rain pass, 40 days and 40 nights, followed by 150 days of floating; it was the first day of the 601st year of Noah's life [8:13].

“Then Noah built an altar to YHWH, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar,” pleasing God [8:20].

Let's say the whole Flood took seven months. While there may have been some babies for Noah to kill, what about cows (gestation 288 days, about 9.4 months)? Or elephants, which are also okay to eat (gestation 660 days, about 21.6 months)?


Inerrantists argue that Genesis 7:8 is contradicted by 7:2 — that Noah was instructed to take along one pair of unclean animals and seven pairs of clean animals.

They also argue that well over two million animals, 150,000 worms, and countless billions of insects could fit into a box (an ark is a wooden chest) that was 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet tall, and live together without eating each other, or defecating, for a minimum of seven months ( not counting onloading and offloading). They do not explain why God no longer performs this kind of big, flashy miracle — the kind that literal-minded, credulous believers imagine used to happen all the time, to people much less holy (including murderers [like Cain] and committers of incest [like Noah]) and much longer-lived (by hundreds of years) than themselves.

Below is an excellent article that dismantles all these myopic claims about the Bible teaching a flat earth:

https://answersingenesis.org/astronomy/earth/does-bible-teach-earth-flat/

Read and be enlightened and stop wallowing in ignorance, OP.

7Flying insects walk on all fours.

◦ “All winged insects that walk upon all fours are detestable to you [Lev. 11:20-23].

” In fact, no insect walks on all fours. Insects have six legs, three on each side. (Spiders have eight legs. Centipedes and millipedes are not insects — in fact, they eat insects.)



8.Rabbits and hares chew their cuds, just as cows do.


◦ “The hare, for even though it chews the cud, it does not have divided hoofs; it is unclean for you.” — Lev. 11:6


◦“ Yet of those that chew the cud or have the hoof cleft you shall not eat these: the camel, the hare, and the rock badger, because they chew the cud but do not divide the hoof; they are unclean for you [Deut. 14:7].

” This is erroneous on a second count: Hares have cloven feet.


A ruminant is an animal with a chambered stomach. Cows, camels, giraffes, sheep, goats, and deer are ruminants, and Leviticus says anyone may eat them. Ruminants eat, then regurgitate their food from the first stomach, chew it a second time as "cud," and then swallow it a second time, whereupon it proceeds to a different chamber of the stomach. Neither lagomorphs (hares and rabbits) nor rock badgers are ruminants.

Inerrantists claim that rabbits and hares practice “refection,” a little-known phenomenon in which an animal eats its own feces. (Apparently inerrantists are unable to tell the difference between feces and cud, which makes this writer determined to avoid their dinner parties.) Sadly, rock badgers are neither ruminants nor practitioners of “refection.” Inerrantists have no explanation for why the Bible erroneously says rock badgers are ruminants OR for why, under their "refection" theory, the Bible can't tell the difference between cud and feces. Remember: the authors of the Bible were less advanced than we are; they were NOT stupid.


9.Moses had body odor that was strong enough to kill..

◦“Then Amalek came and fought with Israel at Rephidim. Moses said to Joshua, ‘Choose some men for us and go out, fight with Amalek.
Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.’ So Joshua did as Moses told him, and fought with Amalek, while Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. Whenever Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed; and whenever he lowered his hand, Amalek prevailed. But Moses' hands grew weary; so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side; so his hands were steady until the sun set. And Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the sword.” — Exodus 17:8-13

This is hilarious! Imagine Moses played by Moe Howard, with Aaron and Hur played by Larry and Curly. This is one of the many ancient texts, laboriously inscribed onto tanned animal skins three thousand years ago, that inerrantantists claim are as factual as "the sun rises in the east."


10.Comets are evil.

◦ “They are wandering stars, for whom the deepest darkness has been reserved forever.” — Jud. 1:14

Is this ignorant post from somebody who doesn't even know that Noah took 7 pairs of the clean animals into the ark worth reading?

11.Ahaziah was two years older than his father, Jehoram.

◦(A) "[Jehoram] was thirty-two years old when he began to reign [Judah]; he reigned eight years in Jerusalem, [and then he died at the age of 40] to the regret of no one. . . . The inhabitants of Jerusalem made [Jehoram's] youngest son, Ahaziah, king as his successor. . . . Ahaziah was 42 years old when he began to reign". — 2 Chron. 21:20-22:2. If 2 Chronicles is as perfect and inerrant as God is, Jehoram was born around 882 BCE, and his son Ahaziah was born around 884 BCE, two years before his father was born.

(B) 2 Kings 8:26 tells us, “Two and twenty years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign” — not 42 but 22. Which is inerrant, 2 Kings 8:26 or 2 Chron. 22:2?

Well, it appears that the fact that the Bible distinguished the "legs" used for creeping and the "legs" used for hopping was misunderstood. That is made clear in the short piece below:

https://answersingenesis.org/bible-characters/moses/two-missing-legs/

12.Thirty-nine hours equal three days.


◦“For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster, so for three days and three nights the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth [Matt. 12:40].” Jesus died at approximately 3 p.m. on Good Friday and was greeted by Mary Magdalene (possibly accompanied by “the other Mary,” Joanna, and/or Mary the mother or wife of James) just after dawn on Sunday — approximately 40 hours, rather than 72.



13.According to Luke, Jesus thought the Hebrew Scriptures were all about him.

◦ “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you — that everything written about me in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms” — i.e., all of the Bible that was available in the first century — “must be fulfilled [Matt. 24:44].” Nothing written explicitly about Jesus of Nazareth appears in the Hebrew Scriptures.


14.The end of the world will come well before 100 C.E.

◦" Truly I tell you, this generation [i.e., those standing around and listening to Jesus preach] will not pass away until all these things have taken place." — Matthew 24:34 is a typical example of the many, many "little apocalypses" in the Christian Testament. Literally dozens of citations exist where Jesus, Paul, or one of their followers predicts that the world will end within a few years of his first-century prediction.


15.Jesus quotes scripture that doesn't exist.

◦“Let the one who believes in me drink. As the scripture has said, ‘Out of the believer's heart shall flow rivers of living water’” (John 7:38). In the Hebrew Scriptures, living water comes from God, not from believers in God. Whatever Jesus may be quoting, it isn't in the Bible.

16.All pesky little details (statistics, etc.) are to be ignored.

◦The Bible is replete with statistical discrepancies. Did David kill 700 Arameans (2 Sam. 10:18) or 7,000 (1 Chron. 19:18)? Did he buy a threshing floor for 50 shekels of silver (2 Sam. 24:24) or 600 shekels of gold (1 Chron. 21:25)? Did 24,000 die in a plague (Num. 25:9) or did 23,000 (1 Cor. 10:? Did God say that Abraham's descendants would be enslaved 400 years (Gen. 15:13) or 430 (Ex. 12:41, Gal. 3:17)? Did God ask for a census of Israel (2 Sam. 24:1-2), or was it Satan (1 Chron. 21:1-2)? (Conservatives really put non-conservatives down when they say, oh, God must have made Satan do it.) Was humankind the last thing God created (Gen. 1:26) or the first (Gen. 2:7)? Did Abraham move to Canaan before his father died (Gen. 11:32, 12:4) or afterward (Acts 7:4)? These are only a few of the Bible's dozens of discrepancies.



17.Abiathar was his own son.

◦ [Jesus said], “[David] entered the house of God, when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and he gave some to his companions.” — Mark 2:26

◦ “David came to Nob to the priest Ahimelech.” . . . — 1 Samuel 21:1-6 and 2 Samuel 8:17 provide the story about how David entered the Temple and ate the bread of the Presence when Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, was high priest.

18.Murder is in the eye of the beholder.

◦“You shall not murder.” — Exodus 20:13

◦God ordered Joshua to commit a massacre: “Joshua took Makkedah on that day, and struck it and its king with the edge of the sword; he utterly destroyed every person in it [including innocent women and children and even cattle and other property]; he left no one remaining. And he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho. . . . YHWH gave [Libnah and Lachish] also and [their kings] into the hand of Israel.” — Joshua 10:28-32



19.God has human body parts.

◦ “They heard the sound of YHWH God walking in the garden at the time of the evening breeze, and the man and the woman hid themselves from the presence of YHWH God among the trees of the garden.” — Genesis 3:8

◦“I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have established.” — Psalm 8:3. These are just two of the many references to God's body parts.

Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? The sun stopped in midheaven, and did not hurry to set for about a whole day.” — Joshua 10:12-13

You're making the Bible say what it did not say. If that's not the case, then I don't see how "sun stand still" equals "sun revolves round the earth".
Astronomy gave us better insight, but these men didn't have this knowledge then. How else were they supposed to record that event?

"Sun stood still", Yes, in the eyes of the onlooker. Even in 21st century, a fellow that hasn't been in a geography class will argue that the sun is revolving round the earth and not otherwise. That's all he can see.

Shooting stars. Let me remind you again that the audience were ancient men and not astronomists, Jesus was not taking an Astronomy class too.

We (those attended geography class) know that shooting stars are not stars falling, but meteors falling. They (ancient men) didn't have a special name for a shining object falling from the sky at night.

The point in that verse is to show that the constellations will bear witness to what is about to happen when it starts. Show me the error.

6.Noah killed off all the okay-to-eat (“clean”) species of animal.

◦“Two and two, male and female, went into the ark with Noah [Gen. 7:8].

" Almost six weeks of rain pass, 40 days and 40 nights, followed by 150 days of floating; it was the first day of the 601st year of Noah's life [8:13].

“Then Noah built an altar to YHWH, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar,” pleasing God [8:20].

Let's say the whole Flood took seven months. While there may have been some babies for Noah to kill, what about cows (gestation 288 days, about 9.4 months)? Or elephants, which are also okay to eat (gestation 660 days, about 21.6 months)?
Inerrantists argue that Genesis 7:8 is contradicted by 7:2 — that Noah was instructed to take along one pair of unclean animals and seven pairs of clean animals.

Read the text again carefully. Noah was to take 2 of every kind of animal. The instruction was later extended by saying "take seven" of clean animals. That means, there'll be more of clan animals than unclean animals. That's why Noah could sacrifice the clean animals after the flood.

OliviaPope:

They also argue that well over two million animals, 150,000 worms, and countless billions of insects could fit into a box (an ark is a wooden chest) that was 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet tall, and live together without eating each other, or defecating, for a minimum of seven months ( not counting onloading and offloading).

Noah didn't need to carry all species of animals. He only needed to make sure each biological family is represented.

OliviaPope:

They do not explain why God no longer performs this kind of big, flashy miracle — the kind that literal-minded, credulous believers imagine used to happen all the time, to people much less holy (including murderers [like Cain] and committers of incest [like Noah]) and much longer-lived (by hundreds of years) than themselves.

If there's need for worldwide flood again, God MAY decide to perform that kind of miracle. But He already stated there that he won't destroy the world with water again. The last sentence of your post isn't clear.

10.Comets are evil.

◦ “They are wandering stars, for whom the deepest darkness has been reserved forever.” — Jud. 1:14

You're attempting to mislead here. Let me quote the whole chunk.
4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.

6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.

9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

12.Thirty-nine hours equal three days.


◦“For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster, so for three days and three nights the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth [Matt. 12:40].” Jesus died at approximately 3 p.m. on Good Friday and was greeted by Mary Magdalene (possibly accompanied by “the other Mary,” Joanna, and/or Mary the mother or wife of James) just after dawn on Sunday — approximately 40 hours, rather than 72.

The reference was just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster. Now, help calculate the number of hours Jonas spent in the belly of the sea monster first. Because I don't see where Jesus said I'll be dead for 72 hours

◦“Let the one who believes in me drink. As the scripture has said, ‘Out of the believer's heart shall flow rivers of living water’” (John 7:38). In the Hebrew Scriptures, living water comes from God, not from believers in God. Whatever Jesus may be quoting, it isn't in the Bible.

Kindly read Isaiah 41:17, 18, 43:20, 44:3, 58:11, Joel 2:28

OliviaPope:
16.All pesky little details (statistics, etc.) are to be ignored.

◦The Bible is replete with statistical discrepancies. Did David kill 700 Arameans (2 Sam. 10:18) or 7,000 (1 Chron. 19:18)? Did he buy a threshing floor for 50 shekels of silver (2 Sam. 24:24) or 600 shekels of gold (1 Chron. 21:25)? Did 24,000 die in a plague (Num. 25:9) or did 23,000 (1 Cor. 10:? Did God say that Abraham's descendants would be enslaved 400 years (Gen. 15:13) or 430 (Ex. 12:41, Gal. 3:17)? Did God ask for a census of Israel (2 Sam. 24:1-2), or was it Satan (1 Chron. 21:1-2)? (Conservatives really put non-conservatives down when they say, oh, God must have made Satan do it.) Was humankind the last thing God created (Gen. 1:26) or the first (Gen. 2:7)? Did Abraham move to Canaan before his father died (Gen. 11:32, 12:4) or afterward (Acts 7:4)? These are only a few of the Bible's dozens of discrepancies.

This is clumsy. Kindly help format.

17.Abiathar was his own son.

◦ [Jesus said], “[David] entered the house of God, when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and he gave some to his companions.” — Mark 2:26

◦ “David came to Nob to the priest Ahimelech.” . . . — 1 Samuel 21:1-6 and 2 Samuel 8:17 provide the story about how David entered the Temple and ate the bread of the Presence when Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, was high priest.

Start with that.

oliviapope: 18.Murder is in the eye of the beholder.

◦“You shall not murder.” — Exodus 20:13

◦God ordered Joshua to commit a massacre: “Joshua took Makkedah on that day, and struck it and its king with the edge of the sword; he utterly destroyed every person in it [including innocent women and children and even cattle and other property]; he left no one remaining. And he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho. . . . YHWH gave [Libnah and Lachish] also and [their kings] into the hand of Israel.” — Joshua 10:28-32

The firing sqaud that execute judicial judgment I'm Nigeria are murderers right?


19.God has human body parts.

◦ “They heard the sound of YHWH God walking in the garden at the time of the evening breeze, and the man and the woman hid themselves from the presence of YHWH God among the trees of the garden.” — Genesis 3:8

◦“I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have established.” — Psalm 8:3. These are just two of the many references to God's body parts.

Let me help add one more scripture:
Exo 24:10 And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness.

The demons in the OP has deluded her so that after your rebuttals, she would learn nothing. Ever learning but never coming to the knowledge of truth.

Thanks

Why does the bible need apologists
Is it because some things are not clear and just flat out stupid and they need to rationalize their beliefs desperately
Hmmmmmmmm

Why not tackle Bolaji's rebuttals rather than throw the words into the open air?

I just scanned and went through. . .
Well. . . OP couldn't even demystify a vivid factoid of all this. I see no error. . . all I see is people joblessly pinpointing what they can't decipher!
