The Jews rabbinic council appointed 70 elders to trnslate and copy the history of the Jews, it is called the, Masoretic text of te Jamian canon. And 300 years after the alleged ascension of Christ, pope Damasus ordered his secretary, St Jerome to go round the world and collect the, letters, diaries, memoirs and autobiography of the early disciples of Jesus, 14 years later, St Jerome came up with Bibilia(mini library) and you have the Bible. then there was some modifications, additions and subtractions by various popes. So don't expect a contradiction free history put together by imperfect men.

before Gen 6vv6 something entered God's creation which is sin.

2. God dwells in light
1Timothy 6:16
God dwells in darkness
1kings 8:12, PS 18:11, PS 97:2

God does not dwell in darkness rather psalm 18:11, 97 is metaphorically referring to the mystery of God's presence.

3. God knows the hearts of men
Acts 1:24, PS 139:2-3
God tries to find out what is in their heart
Deut13:3, Deut 8:2, Gen 22:12

God does not try to know man's heart rather he tries and searched out his heart, which means he expose and judge the heart of man.

4. God is just and impartial
PS 92:15, Gen 18:25

Gen 9:25, Ex 20:5, Matt 13:12

Deut 12:30-31

If you are talking of jahpeth, God never command him neither did scripture say God received it, there is no where in the bible where God commanded human sacrifice, God forbade it in Israel.
Isaac was never sacrificed, it was a test to Abraham.

6. God cannot lie
Heb 6:18
God lies by proxy: he sends forth lying spirits to deceive
2Thes 2:11, 1Kings 22:3, Ezek 14:9

God didn't lie, the spirit of lie that came up was an evil spirit, God permitted the evil spirit to decieve Ahab because Ahab loved false prophecies, God himself revealed the truth to Micah to tell Ahab that it was the spirit of lie that influenced the false prophets.

7. Christ taught non-resistance

Hmmm! I greet you sir!
I think because of contradictions like these that was why the church argued that not everyone or anyone can give authority about the Bible, because it can easily be read out of context.
Context is one big element in almost all the point raised by the op. I just think.

Greetings brother.
The Word "contradiction" shouldn't be used. Rather we see translation issues and readers' lack of contextual and exegetical reading.

Acceptable.

God does not dwell in darkness rather psalm 18:11, 97 is metaphorically referring to the mystery of God's presence.

I beg to differ. Exodus 20:21
The people remained at a distance, while Moses approached the thick darkness where God was.

God does not try to know man's heart rather he tries and searched out his heart, which means he expose and judge the heart of man.

So many instances where God revealed the intent of people's hearts. Jesus telling Judas to quickly do what he must being a more obvious example.

non of this scriptures says God is unjust.

I'll pass on this.

If you are talking of jahpeth, God never command him neither did scripture say God received it, there is no where in the bible where God commanded human sacrifice, God forbade it in Israel.
Isaac was never sacrificed, it was a test to Abraham.

2 Kings 3:27 God honoured a human sacrifice even from the enemy camp against the Israelites.

God didn't lie, the spirit of lie that came up was an evil spirit, God permitted the evil spirit to decieve Ahab because Ahab loved false prophecies, God himself revealed the truth to Micah to tell Ahab that it was the spirit of lie that influenced the false prophets.

Potayto- Potahto. Same same.

Christ never used sword, Jesus telling his disciples to get a sword was symbolical.

You could have atleast shed more light on this symbolic sword. Cos the verse wasnt referring to the word of God.

matt6:5-6 was referring to private prayer not public prayer.

Don't get this too.

Adultery is not allowed, but an adulterer can be forgiven if he or she confesses and turn away from it.

No comment.

Jesus went into Galilee many times both before John was sent to prison and after he was arrested

Excusable. But then again the word of God is supposed to be inspired.

The highlighted says a lot about you in person and if you're sincere i'll advise you to do yourself a favour.
If you truly believe the Bible then you find some disturbing comments in it what should you do?
Think about a person who likes you so much but now heard negative things about you, will he just throw the comments in the air knowing fully well that you have lots of enemies out there? NO!
He will carefully look for your friends and when he finds them he will present all the things he heard before your friends.
Note that he won't just assume that someone is your friend simply because the person claimed so but observe carefully to be certain that this person loves you.
Now who are the people that always go about in both rain and sunshine to talk about what is written in the Bible?
JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES!
Throughout the world this group are well known in all our neighbourhood going to pay their neighbours uninvited visits no matter what people do to them the JWs will be back to share what they learned in the book they cherished most with you. They truly love the book Bible and are ready to sacrifice their lives to preach and teach what they found in it!

So find them and ask your questions. This is a faceless public forum where there are lots of people with different motives but if you're able to discuss with the real friends of the Bible you'll get all your answers.

That's what an elderly Jew named Nicodemus did in the first century when he heard negative comments about a young Jewish guy name Jesus. Nicodemus has began to like the young man but there are lots of negative comments about him so he decided to speak with Jesus one on one but he did it when there will be no distractions! John 3:1-16

May you have PEACE!

The Truth is that according to the bible, Jesus Christ set us all free from sin and bondage.

Adam made us all sinners without us having committed any sin.
And Jesus Christ (Second Adam) set us all free from sin without us performing any acts of righteousness.

According to David,he was a sinner even while in his mother's womb. This was because of the sin of Adam.
Thanks to Jesus, now we are the righteousness of God even while in the wombs of our mothers.

No where in the Old Testament did GOD promises to send HIS son to be crucified for our sins. GOD Forgave The People Of Nineveh Without Waiting For Jesus' Crucifixion. The Roman Royal family, The Flavians created the Jesus that is being preached today. Watch these well documented videos with historical records to find out for yourself.

Israel was a war zone during the time of Jesus till Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 AD as the Jews revolted against Roman occupation. Ask yourself why the capital of Christianity is in Rome?

I guess you are a in state of confusion or you lacked basic understanding of simplest of English grammar.

The very first I cross checked, Number 31:18.


Moses (not God) instructed them to keep Midianite virgins Israelites captured for themselves,............. Thus keeping for themselves mean formication with them? Capita NO.

Meanwhile, there are various voices in Bible and it will be foolishness on ur part to believe all the voices/instructions are of God.

.........Satan asked Jesus in the Bible to jump, did Jesus jump becos its voice from Bible? Do not forget Satan quoted psalm 91 that had been written long before Jesus was born.

........Aaron asked Israelite women in the absent of Moses that they should bring forth their earrings in other to use it to build idol for them to worship in which they compiled and Aaron also built the idol, will you now follow that cos its written in the Bible?

I will advice you to always give ur bible for who knows how to interpret Bible 100% correctly as it was done in the days of Philip. Not only that, you should also improve yourself in aspect of English language of "figurative & idiomatic expressions" they are largely used in Bible and I think its the basis of ur confusion.

NB. I stopped cross checking the rest.

I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses, we don't have Pastors who live on the contributions of members, each of us work for what we eat.
So you can tell that to misinformed churchgoers not Jehovah's Witnesses.
Jesus is the only begotten Son of God and he has laid down his perfect human life to redeem mankind from our sins.
If you need more information on that we are ready to feed you FREELY but thinking you can use the YouTube stories where fabricated things reign to form enlightenment then you've goofed big time!

You claim Jesus is the only begotten Son of God , yet Jesus said "Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened." “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven." “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened."
There was great distress in Judea till the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 AD. These were the events Jesus said will happen and immediately after these events He will return.
