Sometimes I wonder how people remain Christian after reading the bible. Its flaws are so obvious- a character an infallible book should never have. Its like buying a maths textbook and u find 2+2=5, when u no 2 +2=4, will be u keep using it?

The bible isn't the best selling religious book of all time by dint of it's veracity. It's the biggest selling religious book of all time, because it's the foundational book of the most massively subscribed religion.

And if you are well informed about the history of the world you live in, then you'd know why christianity is well subscribed by a large number of the world's population. And you'd realize that it has nothing to do with the validity of it's claims.

So which book is the best selling by veracity of its claims?

If u cant answer, it will be a big shame on top of your head.

First of all, how well a book sells, has nothing to do with the veracity of the contents of a book.
Some books are written for entertainment, while some for enlightenment. Most of the best selling books in history are fiction, and they don't make the kind of claims religious books make, even if they do, the writers don't expect anyone to take them seriously or go so far as tailoring their lives around it.

Veracity means to conform to facts, or to be accurate. We all know that the bible doesn't conform to facts, neither is it historically accurate. The bible is just an anthology of jewish myths, poems and expurgated texts, draped with exegesis.
The bible is ridden with flaws, contradictions and inconsistencies, and hence, doesn't pass the test for veracity.

I'm not sure what you meant by the "flaws are so obvious" , its more of poor interpretation/translation of texts , or lack of proper understanding of a text etc

Just today I had to explain to someone that "man" is sometimes used to represent the human race in the bible and not male gender only - being unaware of this can one think the text was being addressed to males only therefore spotting a "flaw" .

Anyway , most bible scholars believe the bible is inerrant . Read more on Bible inerrancy here : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_inerrancy

While there are some people that believe the bible is not Word of God .

Also note that some people say that the bible stories are allegorical .

And I'm sure your christian sites are the standard for unbiased articles.
Let me pull out some historical inaccuracies I know of
* There was no mass census that brought Mary to Bethlehem. The romans were good at recording and the only census happened 6 years after the death of Jesus.
* Herod died long before jesus was even born
* There is no known evidence of Israelites ever becoming slaves to the Egyptians
* No evidence of Noah's flood
* No evidence of tower of Babel
* No evidence for the sun ever standing still(scientific inaccuracies aside).
The bible is filled with lies

In daily transaction 1+1+1=3
In Church 1+1+1=1Mystery.

Certainly, I'd keep using it because 2+2 is indeed 4.

However, I'd never have anything to do with whatever nonsense you're inclinged to. If your own book can't even correctly teach you the most simplest of mathematics, then one can't help but feel pity for you. SMH

Let me pull out some historical inaccuracies I know of
* There was no mass census that brought Mary to Bethlehem. The romans were good at recording and the only census happened 6 years after the death of Jesus.

If you have Roman archives that disproved such information , present it here for scrutiny . Luke , the author of the Gospel Luke , was a doyen in History , a notable Historian and he had written an account of Christ's life .

* Herod died long before jesus was even born

It is important to note that Luke mentions that the census to which he is referring is the first census taken while Quirinius was governing. This seems to indicate that at the time of writing, the readers would need to distinguish between multiple censuses. Luke specifies that this was the first one.

Additionally, the term used for the ruling of Quirinius in Luke is not specific to a certain position. So, it's quite possible that he held one position at first and then was promoted to the specific position of governor and performed a census then as well.

So, linking the census mentioned by Josephus to this first census that took place when Quirinius was in a position of governing is uncertain at best.

Being 2,000 years removed from this, our historical data and understanding are certainly not what they would have been to first century readers of Luke's account. It is doubtful that Luke would have created such a glaring inconsistency, and if there were one, the readers of that day would surely have raised objection to it and discounted the narrative. Indeed, there were many in that day who would have loved to expose Christianity as false, if given the chance.

Still, there is ample evidence to resolve this apparent discrepency when we pull back from the assumption that there was only one census that must be connected between Josephus and Luke, and we also understand that Luke does not specify a particular position in mentioning the governance of Quirinius.

* There is no known evidence of Israelites ever becoming slaves to the Egyptians

Lack of evidence does not mean an account is false . There was no evidence of the city Troy , it was thought to be fictional until the 19th century . Do you know of putative ancestors in evolution theory ? There are no proofs those ancestors ever existed , they are only assumed to exist in other to fill the massive gaps and false links in the theory .

* No evidence of Noah's flood

No evidence of Noah's flood ? Do you know that most cultures in the world had writings on a disastrous deluge that nearly annihilated mankind?

* No evidence of tower of Babel

Read about Great Ziggurat of Babylon and its destruction by Alexander the Great

* No evidence for the sun ever standing still(scientific inaccuracies aside).

This nonsense has been rebutted so many times

The bible is filled with lies

Lack of evidence of very few stories does not imply mendacity .

Smh. You'll go to any lengths to defend your cherished book.
But it is not simply lack of evidence it is contradicting evidence.
Herod died four years before Jesus was even born.
A census never happened till six years after Christ died.
We know all these because the Romans kept very good records.
The sun most certainly cannot stand still and if it did advanced cultures would have surely recorded a fact that great.
Noah's flood is a direct copy of a much older text, so how can it be true? Not to mention the sheer scientific inaccuracy of the entire story.
Lastly defending the tower of babel is the height of delirious thinking.

Your arguments are puerile.
If I had brought all this staggering inaccuracies in say Islam. You would have accepted them as true.
You're biased because you already have the unassailable notion that the bible is fact, despite all evidence to the contrary.

PrincessEbukasDairyKingEbukasBlog
William Craig
naijadeywhia?naijadeyhia
Just to name a few
The problem with the apologetic crew is that they never agree on the subject matter
One messed up verse can have different interpretation from each apologist
A good example is the return of jesus Christ when he said things like "this generation would but not pass away", the high priest would see him in the clouds. The first ever apologist was peter when he dismissed the obvious failed prophecy of his return with "a thousand years is like a day before God"
Since him there have been about six different apologists theories(not scientific now ) one says he was referring to the transfiguration. The first problem is that these Gospels place the transfiguration at different times. In Matthew, it occurs after Jesus made the prediction about his second coming. That might make it seem reasonable to think that it was a fulfillment of the earlier prediction. However, Mark and Luke place the transfiguration event before Jesus made spoke the prophecy. Laying aside the obvious discrepency in timing, we can say for certain that an event occurring before a prediction is made can’t be fulfilling the prediction. The “prediction” wouldn’t be a prediction at all. if apologetics all had the same idea we could actually take them seriously. Not to mention why would God inspire a book and make it hard to decrypt is he just a tricky motherfucker like that ... Ooh I forgot this is Yahweh we are talking about They also say things like generation meant "race" he was "talking about the Jews" they say. Unfortunately for them when Jesus speaks of the Jews, he does so by saying “Jews”. It’s rather strange that he would speak cryptically in just this one instance. Apologists ehn
How this people are still able to live with this religion with this obvious discrepancy is beyond me
There are apologists for Islam and Mormonism too
They go to great lengths to defend thier religion they end up tripping over themselves in the process

All Gods are a product of human ignorance. In the past the Greeks thought Helios and his flaming chariot brought the sun, earthquakes and floods were caused by Poseidon. But now science has proven these Gods as false idols and soon it will prove all Gods as false idols. DNA and the complexity of the universe will soon not be attributed to God.

Christian apologists

Please the Bible is not meant for the intellectual. The author of the Bible wrote it for those who are having the right heart attitude towards it. It only those having that right attitude that will fully discern its contents.

Many books written or authored are majorly addressed towards the intellectuals but for someone to author a book for only those having the right heart motivation, it can only come from the creator of the universe.

i like all these atheist Christian clashes... especially when naijadeyhere and daddy ebuka is involved.. i have so much to learn

EZ 6:12 , NA 1:2 , 6 God is jealous and furious. He reserves wrath for,
and takes revenge on, his enemies. "... who can abide in the
fierceness of his anger? His fury is poured out like fire, and rocks are
thrown down by him."
2CO 13:11 , 14 , 1JN 4:8 , 16 God is love.
GA 5:22-23 The fruit of the Spirit of God is love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

This is the problem with the atheists on these forum. All these have been rebutted ad nauseum .

You guys just go to the internet without actually understanding what is contradicting what , or what context , just copy and regurgitate .

Can you provide proof that God does not exist ?

You can't provide proof that Zeus or Odin or Aphrodite or Santa clause or leprechauns don't exist. Yet I'm sure you believe firmly that they don't.
I can't prove that there's not a fat man watching Netflix on mars, yet we will all agree that there is non.
You made an outstanding claim, so you should provide equally outstanding evidence. Not me.
So prove with evidence that your God exist

Smh. You'll go to any lengths to defend your cherished book.
But it is not simply lack of evidence it is contradicting evidence.
Herod died four years before Jesus was even born.
A census never happened till six years after Christ died.
We know all these because the Romans kept very good records.

Like I said , Luke was a notable Historian like Josephus , and he gave a reliable account of Jesus' life on earth . If you have archives of Roman History that controverts Luke's account of Jesus life , please bring it here for scrutiny .

The sun most certainly cannot stand still and if it did advanced cultures would have surely recorded a fact that great.

I'm sure you say the phrase "the sun has risen" sometimes .

Noah's flood is a direct copy of a much older text, so how can it be true? Not to mention the sheer scientific inaccuracy of the entire story.

Can you provide proof that Noah's flood account is a facsimile of an older text ? You also committed the post hoc fallacy - because the bible's account of flood came after an older text therefore the bible's account must have copied it .

Lastly defending the tower of babel is the height of delirious thinking.

Logical fallacy : pooh pooh

It is fallacious to dismiss someone's argument as foolish

Your arguments are puerile.

Logical fallacy : pooh pooh

You're biased because you already have the unassailable notion that the bible is fact, despite all evidence to the contrary.

I am yet to see this contrary evidence that controverts the veracity of bible stories .
