Did you go to theology school?
If yes, can you teach us by picking one of the these alleged contradictions and interpret them with understanding and wisdom that you were thought in theology school.

Christian stop fooling your selves, upon all these contradictions u still call this novel word of God

A lot of possible contradictions. I'll address the one in red:
Deut 25:5--In the event a of brothers that live together and one dies. It is allowed.
Lev 20:21--Presumably the other brother is still alive. One brother is sneaking around with the other brother wife. Not cool and not allowed.
That is my understanding.
Re: Biblical Contradictions by Goshen360(m): 5:17am On Apr 21, 2013
Una don dey step on my toes for too long with these so called contradictions. If you don't understand something doesn't mean it is false or contradictory. I don't have to go to theology school to explain the word, the power that works in us does that through us. Glory to God, praise God.

It is not about praise God, it is your ignorance. That's how clergy-men deceive many followers from the pulpit. Always read every verse with understanding..

For example:
Mathew 11:14 And if you are willing to
accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.

John 1:21 - They asked him, “Then who are you? Are you
Elijah?”
He said, “I am not.”
“Are you the Prophet?”
He answered, “No.”


I did a quick comparism of just of the the OP so-called contradiction and it was total BS..

In my picture, is an example of such scriptural lies to fit what the clergy-man wants. Although, there is a bible verse, did you bother to affirm the relationship between the biblical usage and the clergy-man's explanation? NO! #shame

Re: Biblical Contradictions by Goshen360(m): 6:17am On Apr 21, 2013
@ vowiski,

What has my comment got to do with your sayings? I don't understand how what I said that you quoted both correlate. Is it that I said, 'glory to God, praise God' that is your issue here or something else? Or maybe I'm missing something from your post.

when Jesus said John was the Elijah that was to come he only meant John was to act in the manner of the prophet Elijah......simple and short.........

Elijahs actions and works fore-shadowed that of John's..................

Hope you dey see am??.........

Re: Biblical Contradictions by Nobody: 9:01am On Apr 21, 2013
The bible is inherently flawed (albeit it still has its purpose). Anyone who believes otherwise is deceiving himself. If the bible was truly handed down by God there wont be so much flaws in it and it wont have needed men to assemble it into a book. Most of the bible was written by bronze age herdsmen who were looking for ways to protect their culture and understand the world around them.
Being a lover of figures, if it was truly God who gave the bible, we should have precise figures. For instance, during a battle, it would have been written that 5236 people died or 9655 people. Not the 5000 or 3000 round figures that we find in the bible. And definitely not by giving us two contradictory figures in two different books of the bible.
Face it guys:
The world wasnt created in 6 days.
The world isnt 6000-8000 yrs old.
Adam didnt name all the animals on the earth (sounds like tales by moonlight).
There was no tower of Babel (another fantasy that isnt unlike any common African fable e.g How the Zebra got its stripes).
I do believe in God. I just dont believe in Religious propaganda and bunkum and if u are gonna defend the bible please use logic dont draw ur defense from the same book that we are critically and intellectually scrutinising.

You got me all wrong, same way some of you misinterpret the bible and go about peddling the gospel..


We are to try them., not every spirit may be of God. John4:1.

Every messenger and doctrine is to be judged according to the word of God.

The church at Ephesus was commended because they were tried. Rev. 2.2. The church at Pergamous was rebuked because they held d doctrine of Balaal. Rev.2:14-15

U arent a very intelligent person, are u? How u came to assume that I am a muslim from that my last statement is an enigma. Speaks a lot about ur feeble intellect. And dude u still havent said anything. I remain resolutely unfazed as I was by ur inital comment that I quoted.
And dude, christianity is also a religion. And like all religion, the book on which it is based is riddled with fiction. Keep telling urself u are free from the bondage of religion if that makes u sleep at night.

ofcos to follow God you have to be foolish anyway..so your statement is not coming as a suprise.Am not assuming anything bro. ur post implied you are a muslim maybe you later changed along the line..anywaz that's your prob.

irrelevant to me..just as i remain resolute to my convictions.

God never made religion. Man made it. if you are talking from an atheist point of view i can understand.
