Paul’s statement that all scriptures are written by the inspiration
of God is, itself, not inspired.
The bible is the most important book ever compiled. However, it
is also one of the most dangerous. It is used to edify and it is
also used to deceive. Christians like to pretend that the bible
was written by one person. But in reality, it was written by 40
different authors from three continents in three different
languages.
Jesus says: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed
good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his
enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat.” (Matthew
13:24-25). This portrait of the kingdom is directly applicable to
the bible. The bible is a book of wheat and weeds. In it, the
truth of God is presented side-by-side with grievous
misrepresentations of God.
Justification of Evil
The bible can be used (and has been used) to justify evil. It
tolerates incest: “They got him drunk that night, and the older
girl went in and had sexual intercourse with her
father.” (Genesis 19:33). It supports the selling of daughters: “If
a man sells his daughter as a slave, she shall not be freed at the
end of six years.” (Exodus 21:7). It supports witch-hunting: “A
witch must not be allowed to live.” (Exodus 22:18).
The bible supports pogroms: “The God of Israel says: ‘Each man
strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp
from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend
and neighbour.’” (Exodus 32:27). It supports discrimination
against the handicapped: “No man who has any defect may
come near: no man who is blind or lame, disfigured or
deformed.” (Leviticus 21:18).
The bible supports slavery: “Your male and female slaves are to
come from the nations around you; from them you may buy
slaves.” (Leviticus 25:44). It supports discrimination against
women: “Set the value of a male between the ages of twenty
and sixty at fifty shekels of silver, according to the sanctuary
shekel; and if it is a female, set her value at thirty
shekels.” (Leviticus 27:3).
Human sacrifice
The bible supports human sacrifice: “Not even a human being
who has been unconditionally dedicated may be bought back;
he must be put to death.” (Leviticus 27:29). It supports capital
punishment: “The assembly took him outside the camp and
stoned him to death, as the LORD commanded
Moses.” (Numbers 15:36). It supports drinking of blood: “They
shall not lie down until they have eaten what they capture and
have drunk the blood of the slain!” (Numbers 23:24).
The bible supports the rape of virgins: “Save for yourselves
every girl who has never slept with a man.” (Numbers 31:18). It
supports infanticide: “We destroyed all the people in every town
we conquered- men, women, and children alike.” (Deuteronomy
3:6). It supports religious intolerance: if an idol-worshiper is
found, Moses says: “take that person outside the town and
stone him to death.” (Deuteronomy 17:2-5).
The bible supports genocide: “When the LORD your God lets you
capture the city, kill every man in it.” (Deuteronomy 20:16). It
supports “suicide-bombing:” “Samson killed more people at his
death than he had killed during his life.” (Judges 16:30). It
supports the abduction of women: “While the girls were
dancing, each man caught one and carried her off to be his
wife.” (Judges 21:23). It supports cannibalism: “We boiled my
son, and ate him.” (2 Kings 6:29). It has anti-Semitic vitriol:
“(Jews) are against both God and man.” (1 Thessalonians 2:15).
Bible Errors
The bible is full of mistakes. We are told Abraham had several
sons (Genesis 25:1-6); then only two (Galatians 4:22); and then
only one. (Hebrews 11:17). Jacob was buried in a cave at
Machpelah bought from Ephron the Hittite (Genesis 50:13); but
then again he was buried in a sepulchre at Shechem bought
from the sons of Hamor. (Acts 7:15-16). Moses had only one
wife. Nevertheless he had four different fathers-in-law; Reuel
(Exodus 2:18/21); Jethro (Exodus 4:18); Raguel (Numbers 10:29)
; and Hobab. (Judges 4:11).
Jesse had eight sons with David as the eighth. (1 Samuel
17:12-14). Then again he had seven sons with David as the
seventh. (1 Chronicles 2:13-15). Saul’s daughter married to
David is mistakenly said to be Merab instead of Michal. (1
Samuel 18:19). Jehoshaphat, king of Judah (2 Chronicles 20:35),
is mistakenly said to be king of Israel. (2 Chronicles 21:2).
Zechariah’s prophecy about the thirty pieces of silver (Zechariah
11:12-13) is mistakenly attributed to Jeremiah. (Matthew 27:9).
Bible Contradictions
The bible is also full of contradictions. Moses says God created
the world in six days and rested on the seventh. (Exodus 20:11).
But Isaiah says God is never tired and does not need to rest.
(Isaiah 40:28). God created man last, after creating animals.
(Genesis 1:25-26). But then again he created man before
creating animals. (Genesis 2:18-19). The Nephilim giants were
wiped out in the flood. (Genesis 6:4). Nevertheless, their
descendants reappeared after the flood. (Numbers 13:33). The
peoples of the earth had different languages. (Genesis 10:5;
Genesis 10:20). But then again they had only one language.
(Genesis 11:1).
Moses says God asked the Israelites to build him a sanctuary so
he can dwell among them. (Exodus 25:. But Stephen insists
God does not dwell in temples built by men. (Acts 7:48). Moses
says God changes his mind. (Exodus 32:14). But Balaam says he
does not. (Numbers 23:19). God is said to have blessed Jehu for
destroying the house of Ahab. (2 Kings 10:30). But Hosea says
God condemned him for doing so. (Hosea 1:4).
Pauline Confusion
This goes to show that Paul’s statement that all scriptures are
written by the inspiration of God (2 Timothy 3:16) is, itself, not
inspired. Indeed, more discrepancies come from Paul himself
than from any other person in the bible.
Paul says God is not the author of confusion. (1 Corinthians
14:33). But Moses says God confused the tongues at Babel.
(Genesis 11:9). Paul says God is “the God of peace.” (Romans
15:33). But Moses says he is “a man of war.” (Exodus 15:3).
Paul says God dwells in unapproachable light. (1 Timothy 6:16).
But David says he dwells in thick darkness. (Psalm 18:11). Paul
says no one is righteous. (Romans 3:10). But Moses says God
considered Noah to be righteous. (Genesis 7:1).
Paul says the law was given through angels. (Galatians 3:19).
But Moses says God gave it to him directly. (Deuteronomy
10:1-5). Paul says all men are condemned to death because of
Adam’s sin. (Romans 5:12/19). But Moses says children are not
to suffer for their parent’s sins. (Deuteronomy 24:16). Paul says
God justifies the ungodly. (Romans 4:5). But Moses and
Solomon say he does not. (Exodus 23:7; Proverbs 17:15).

Seriously? How does it show that? It clearly states that God will destroy the earth someday, that doesn't seem very hopeful to me.
