Do you know the part of the Bible that says do not add or remove bla bla bla or the part that says Heaven and earth will surely pass away before one word does not come to pass. If you say the Bible is not to be taken literally then you must mean the whole of it, not choosing the nonsensical part as the ones not to be taken literally. Even the existence of God is also literal. Agree?
[b]when i say literal, i do hope you understand the meaning of words. when i say the bible is not to be read literally. I do not mean the incidents in the bible are false. God is real. i mean do not read it like a novel. i give you an example. the story of biafra and nigerian civil war based on the igbos thinking they are not getting a fair shake. now this is a real story right ? now let me present the story to you allegorically-symbolically. two twins named ikechukwu and ademola were born on the same day but ademola was older by 7 minutes and was much bigger , taller and stronger. when it came time to choose rooms in a new house their father built, ademola picked the bigger and better room and this pissed off ikechukwu who didnt think he was getting a fair shake. so they started a war between each other and fought for a very long time.

now thats symbolism. is the story of ademola and ikechukwu literally true ? no its not. however did the story that was presented symbolically happen ? yes it did. i hope you have been edified. thats how the bible is written. its true however its not literal. which is why it takes special people with the spirit of God in them to be able to understand the bible.

When you read the Holy Bible like a novel or newspaper confusion is what you get!


But if you invite the Holy spirit to lead you and grant you understanding, you will have wisdom to understand the word of God.

My God is not a God of confusion!!!!
the word of God is perfect .
I'd rather say "ask God for the Holy spirit".

This is not the first time I noticed some bible verses are actually saying the opposite of another. Isn't the gospel supposed to be preached in one accord? I first noticed that Jesus Christ actually turned water into wine(alcoholic wine not fruit wine cos my Yoruba bible says "oti wine"wink which means Jesus somehow endorses wine. In the same Bible again I saw in Galatians(can't remember the chapter and verse), where the fruits of the flesh were listed, drunkenness was listed also. undecided

Another thing that ultimately made no sense was the whole Old Testament/New Testament conundrum. God actually changes his mind? In Leviticus, God lays down a bunch of laws and calls them “everlasting.” Then in the New Testament, we suddenly hear this:

For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion to look for a second. —Hebrews 8:7

Another one was when God brought a sheet unto Peter which contained various four-legged and two-legged animals and beasts of different kind, then God told Peter to arise, kill and eat. Peter refused saying he cannot eat unclean things, God rebuked him by saying how can he(Peter) call the things He(God) created unclean?

And later I read another verse where God outlined the forbidden animals, birds and beasts we should not eat. undecided

I was confused, so I went online to checkout if there are more Bible verses that contradicts one another, the ones I found are listed below[/font][/size][/b][/color]

It is written in 1Corinthians 2:13-14 that natural men can't understand spiritual things because they are spiritually discern.
Until one become supernatural he cannot know more than the natural.
Those outside are not given to understand the mystery of the kingdom of God (Mk.4:11)
That means you will not know what the Bible actually is saying until you are born again.
There is no contradiction in the world of God. If you want to comfirm Pls, give your life to Jesus Christ today.
You guys always ignore clear cut contradictions in the Bible and tells us we need to be born again to really understand it,this is my take on this issue since we are in a world of many many faiths and ideology what if other faith says the same thing? That we should first accept Sango, Buda or even the devil or whatever as our lord and savior then we will gets a better understanding of their faith I really don't think a true God works this way God usually sends prophets with a message of truth to the people which may include a religious text to educate the people about God first then it is left to the people to accept or reject just like taking a class lectures first then exams after not exams first then class lectures after, God don't punish unless he has sent a Warner first God is a merciful God, he usually give more than enough warnings before he can judge us for not believing in him but what you are saying is that we should believe in him first then we will understand his warnings(religious text)

ShakurM:
Your verses are taken out of contexts and paragraphs now




When we take text out of their context we are stripping the meaning of the verses and give them a different, and usually a wrong meaning.

Example 1 ;

Matthew 5:39 “if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.”

Jesus is not saying that we shouldn’t defend ourselves but He is using hyperbole or exaggeration.  What He means is that when others insult you, don’t retaliate.  Just turn the other cheek, not to have them slap you there…but to turn the other way and to leave vengeance to God (Rom 12:19. ).  Even Jesus “When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly” (1 Pet 2:23).


Example 2;

Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

Paul is not telling the church at Philippi that they can do anything they want or can do all things that they want to do.  He is saying that we can do anything “through Christ” or “in Christ.”  The context is saying that we can do anything that is in the will of Jesus Christ because He is the One who will strengthen (enable) you do to it.  Paul is not saying that you can do anything you want or anything in Christ that is not His will but he is saying that we can endure all sufferings if we are in Christ because just before 4:13 Paul writes “Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content:  I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need” (Phil 4:11-12).  Paul was writing this in prison and he was likely cold, hungry, and alone, yet he learned to be content in whatever state he was in…but only “in Christ.”  It might be better to think of this as saying “We can endure all things in Christ.”

Example 3

First John 4:16b “God is love.”

Yes, God is love, but that is only one tiny fraction of the manifold attributes of God.  This is like someone saying something about me to another person; “Jack is a cousin.”  Yes, I am a cousin, but I am also a husband, a father, a grandfather, a son, an uncle, and so on.  You cannot elevate one attribute of God to the exclusion of His other attributes.  Many say that a loving God would not send someone to hell because “God is love.” Yes, God is love but love and discipline go together.  Their “God is love” is a God created in their own image.  First and foremost, God is holy.  He cannot even look upon sin and that is why He turned away from Jesus, His only Son, at the cross.  I love my children and my grandchildren and I would discipline them if they ran out into the street to play because they could get hurt, or worse, killed.  My love comes with my discipline. It is exactly because I love them that I do discipline them, just as God disciplines every one of His own children (Heb 12:5-7).


Let's assume for the purpose of seeking knowledge that what you are saying is logical, help me explain this 3 examples

Question 1: "What age was Jehoiachin when he began his reign?"

Answer: Second Kings 24:8 declares, “Jehoiachin was 18 years old when he began to reign,” while 2 Chronicles 36:9 says, “Jehoiachin was 8 years old when he began to reign.”

Question 2:when was light created?


Answer - Bible says in Genesis Ch. No. 1 Verses No. 3 and 5,…‘Light was created on the first day.’ Genesis, Ch., 1 Verses, 14 to 19… ‘The cause of light - stars and the sun, etc. was created on the fourth day’.  How can the cause of light be created on the 4th day - later than the light which came into existence on the first day?

Question 3: how many bath did solomon had?


Point No. 20 - 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? –

If the previous ones are qoute out of context what of this few questions? Does that means God can't differentiate between simple 2000 and 3000 as in the case of solomon?

How did paul learn about Jesus Christ?

Gal1:12
I received my message from no human source, and no one taught me. Instead, I received it by direct revelation from Jesus Christ.

Even at that, you still need the holy spirit and good scholar of the word in scripture interpretation so that you won't be like Peter at some point that thought gentiles were not part of the family of christ

hmmm.you have forsaken thr freind of christ when he was here on earth and even after he left *peter* to an enemy of christ *paul* because he paul told you he received inspiration from christ.......without paul an enemy of christ modern christanity will crumble...you guys are joking with the obvious truth...

ok. the special thing about the bible is that the word of God can come alive in you as you read it. the bible contains God's word, human words, animal word, even the devil's words.

God's word in the bible is not a dictation, it came by inspiration. the person who received the inspiration writes it in his own language and with his own style (which gives room for human errors - like writing four rather than forty etc) this is especially evident in the historical accounts. God's word though is a spirit and only by that spirit can you receive a revelation of the inspiration given to the writer by God.
the letter kills because you will be confused. the spirit gives life (that is the word of God)

*I no too like to dey type. hope my lil explanation helps* I still think you were simply being mischievous though, with some of the things you called contradictions up there.


oooh...i taught the writers were guided by the holy spirit...now i know better...the spirit inspired them with the words of god and left them to write otherwise......and for God sake i wouldnt compare the bible with historical books....if it is really inspired to men by god as you claimed...it should be preserved by god from such errors...
#atleast we have a common point of agreement...we both agreed it was written by men not by jesus himself nor was it written in his presence... and that like every book of history there are bound to be errors.....
FYI....THE QURAN IS NOT A BOOK OF HISTORY AND THERE ARE NO ERRORS IN IT...IT HAS PASSED SEVERAL GENERATIONS FROM ONE HAND TO ANOTHER, ONE SLAVE TO ANOTHER ,ONE MASTER TO ANOTHER ..ONE NATION TO ANOTHER FOR MORE THAN 1400 YEARS AND NOT A SINGLE ERROR OR MISTAKE IS FOUND SO THE BIBLE THAT IS SUPPOSE TO BE 2000 YEARS OLD SHOULD BE THESAME IF IT HAS NOT BEEN CORRUPTED.

Many Times Christians post passages from the Quran on war and say that Islam is not valid because of these verses because of the violence.
I will quote several verses from the Bible showing the brutal terror found in it, I will be quoting from the OT. Christians should have no problem with it, since its the same God, so hence if the God of the OT said kill then it means Jesus said kill because he has no God. So Christians have no way out of this mess.

Note : I have great respect for jesus (peace on him) and the rest of the biblical prophets. I am only exposing the flawed mentality of people when they accuse the Quran for no reason while they have truly horrible things in their own books.

the bible was never directly from the mout of God but were written by men as they were inspired all these trash does not affect the THEME and SUBJECT MATTER of the scripter 2 TIM 3:16, BUT dont be surprised if i tell you that quran was revised by jubril, and collated by uthman who burnt the other manuscripts, thanks to the scripture for in it i have found salvation

The scripture that Muhammad came with is
called the Quran; which literally means, “that
which is recited.” Because Muhammad (pbuh) did
not write the Quran, he did not author it. But,
the angel Gabriel came and recited it to him
and Allah made his heart a receptacle to that,
just as a satellite is receptive of waves and
gives you images. Is there any other book in the
history of the world that you know of that has
been preserved, without the changing of even a
dot? No book—only the Quran. Don’t take my
word for it. Go to the library and read any
encyclopedia -read what it says about Islam,
Muhammad (pbuh), and the Quran. Read what
non-Muslims say about Islam, the Quran and
Muslims. Then you will see that what I am saying
is universally documented; that Muhammad
(pbuh) was the most profound individual in the
history of humanity. Profound why? Read what
non-Muslims have said. The Quran is the most
profound piece of literature in history. Read
what they said. Islamic life is so comprehensive,
precise and dynamic that it has never changed.
Read what they said. All of the previous
prophets, their scriptures and their stories and
the principle message they came with are
mentioned in the Quran with profound detail.
Did Muhammad (pbuh) meet them, talk with
them, and collaborate with them to write their
biographies? No, of course he didn’t. In the
Quran, the prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is
referred to as the messenger of God, and that
is his limit as a human being.

@Op my roommate once had such a problem back then in school and he went to his pastor, guess what his pastor told him? You can't understand the bible until the holy spirit resides in you as the pastor was confused too.

Truth be told the bible has been twisted to suit some people's egos, but my christian brothers will not want to accept this. If you truly want to understand the bible then you don't have a choice than to learn it in the original language in which it was written. If you translate one language to another language there is no how 100% of your message can be conveyed. For instance your yoruba bible imagine the stages it has undergone before it was finally translated to the yoruba language.

Till today my major problem with modern christianity is that of trinity. If you ask them to explain it then you will be told that you can not understand it. Why then do you want me to believe in something i can't understand?

How can God allow himself to be killed by the people he created? How can God even die in the first place? How can God keeps looking at a certain people till they killed his son? Isn't that delusional to believe or even think about it? Though not all christians believe in trinity.

YOU WERE CONFUSED YOU WENT ONLINE, YOU SHOULD HAVE GONE TO GOD TO EXPLAIN IT. THE HOLY SPIRIT WOULD TEACH YOU ALL THINGS. WHY BRING YOUR CONFUSION HERE. YOU DIDN'T EVEN ASK YOUR ELDERS OR PASTOR. ANYWAY GOD IS MYSTERIOUS AND IS GOD HE PERMIT AND DISALLOW YOU CAN'T GIVE HIM LAWS. HE IS GOD. YOU ONLY LEARN ABOUT HIM NOT QUESTION HIS ACTIONS. IF YOU DESIRE TRUTH YOU GET FOR JESUS IS THE TRUTH, WAY, AND LIFE..
