➜7. How many horsemen did David capture? Second Book of Samuel 8:4 – 1,700 horsemen. First Book of Chronicles 18:4 – 7,000 horsemen. Different numbers reported.

This case is most likely the only case that would come close to a contradiction. It clearly suggests a clerical error of some sort.

6. Is God the author of evil? Book of Isaiah 45:7 (KJV) – God creates evil. First Epistle of John 1:5 – In God there is no darkness at all. Raises questions about God's relation to evil.

This is another situation where language comprehension is clearly the problem here.

The books of Israelite Scriptures clearly explain that all things were created by YHWH, God of Israel, implying that He not only created Evil but has supreme power over it. However, being that He created it DOES NOT imply that Evil is within His being. In the same way, the earth was created by Him, but it would be erroneous to claim that the earth is inside of Him.

5. Does God tempt people? Genesis 22:1 – God tested (tempted, in some older translations) Abraham. Epistle of James 1:13 – God tempts no one. Different descriptions of God's actions.

I think this here is a problem with vocabulary. You should probably use a dictionary to help you better understand these terms you have a problem with.

A test is a critical examination, trial, or evaluation designed to determine the presence, quality, condition, or validity of something. It can refer to a set of questions to measure knowledge, a diagnostic medical procedure, or a trial to evaluate if a product functions correctly.

...

To tempt means to entice or persuade someone to do something—often something considered unwise, immoral, or against their better judgment—by offering a reward, pleasure, or advantage. It can also mean to strongly attract or appeal to someone's desires.

As you can see, both terms do not have the same meaning or use.

3. How many animals entered the ark? Book of Genesis 6:19–20 – Two of every kind. Genesis 7:2–3 – Seven pairs of clean animals and one pair of unclean animals. Different numbers given.

This is also not a contradiction. And I have previously explained how this is a matter of paying close attention to the accounts to better understand what is, in fact, written from that which is imagined.

A. In chapter 6, the first instruction regarding animals states that Noah was to take 2 of every kind of animal(male and female) into the boat with him and his family.

17 “Understand what I am telling you. I will bring a great flood of water on the earth. I will destroy all living things that live under heaven. Everything on the earth will die.
18 I will make a special agreement with you. You, your wife, your sons, and their wives will all go into the boat.
19 Also, you will take two of every living thing on the earth with you into the boat. Take a male and female of every kind of animal so that they might survive with you.
20 Two of every kind of bird, animal, and creeping thing will come to you so that you might keep them alive.
21 Also bring every kind of food into the boat, for you and for the animals.”
22 Noah did everything God commanded him. - Genesis 6 vs 17 - 22

B. After Noah had completed the first set of tasks that had been given him from chapter 6, a second set of tasks was given to him from YHWH to him as recorded in chapter 7.

1. Then the Lord said to Noah, “I have seen that you are a good man, even among the evil people of this time. So gather your family, and all of you go into the boat.
2 Get seven pairs (seven males and seven females) of every kind of clean animal. And get one pair (one male and one female) of every other animal on the earth. Lead all these animals into the boat with you.
3 Get seven pairs (seven males and seven females) of all the birds. This will allow all these animals to continue living on the earth after the other animals are destroyed.
4 Seven days from now, I will send much rain on the earth. It will rain for 40 days and 40 nights, and I will wipe everything off the face of the earth. I will destroy everything I made.”
5 Noah did everything the Lord told him to do. - Genesis 7 vs 1 - 5.

Basically, the first set of instructions had Noah loading a pair(1 male and 1 female) of every animal on the earth. Then a second set of instructions had Noah loading up an additional 7 pairs(Seven males and seven females) of every kind of clean animal, and one pair(one male and one female) of unclean animals. And then seven pairs(seven males and seven females) of all the birds. So, contrary to the typical narrative out there that claims only two of every kind were put in the Ark, the book instead records that a total of 8 pairs(1 male and 1 female per pair) of clean animals, 2 pairs(1 male and 1 female per pair) of unclean animals, and 8 pairs of every kind of bird, animal, and creeping thing. were taken into the ark

As you can see, this is not a case of different numbers, but rather a case of you not correctly reading and comprehending exactly what is instead written.

2. Who bought the field? Matthew 27:7 – The priests bought the field. Acts 1:18 – Judas acquired the field.
➜ Different accounts of ownership.

You are wrong here in your assertions regarding Acts 1:18. The verse does not state that Judas bought the field.
Try to follow the events that took place as recorded. This, as opposed to trying to pick and choose.
A. In Matthew, we read that Judas did return the money that he took back to the Jewish leaders who had given it to him.

3. Judas saw that they had decided to kill Jesus. He was the one who had handed him over. When he saw what happened, he was very sorry for what he had done. So he took the 30 silver coins back to the priests and the older leaders.
4. Judas said, “I sinned. I handed over to you an innocent man to be killed.” The Jewish leaders answered, “We don’t care! That’s a problem for you, not us.”
5 So Judas threw the money into the Temple. Then he went out from there and hanged himself. - Matthew 27 vs 3 - 5

As you can see, Matthew already reported that the money was returned by Judas to the Jewish leaders.

B. Afterwards, the same Jewish Leaders to whom the money was returned decided to buy the field.

6 The leading priests picked up the silver coins in the Temple. They said, “Our law does not allow us to keep this money with the Temple money, because this money has paid for a man’s death.”
7 So they decided to use the money to buy a field called Potter’s Field. This field would be a place to bury people who died while visiting in Jerusalem.
8 That is why that field is still called the Field of Blood.
9 This showed the full meaning of what Jeremiah the prophet said:
“They took 30 silver coins. That was how much the people of Israel decided to pay for his life. 10 They used those 30 silver coins to buy the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.” - Matthew 27 vs 6 - 9

C. Now when you closely examine what is in fact written in Acts, which reports events after Matthew accounts, you see that it does not state that he (Judas) bought the land but rather that his money(see Matthew 27 vs 6-7) was instead used to purchase the field.

18 (Judas was paid money for doing this. His money was used to buy him a field. But he fell on his head, his body broke open, and all his intestines poured out.
19 And all the people of Jerusalem learned about this. That is why they named that field Akeldama, which in their language means “field of blood.”) - Acts 1 vs 18 - 19

2. As you can see from the above, what is presented isn't a difference but a continuation which you missed.

brownwindow:
➜Here are ten commonly cited examples of apparent contradictions in the Bible. Whether they are actual contradictions or reconcilable differences is debated among scholars and religious believers.
1. How did Judas die? Gospel of Matthew 27:5 – Judas hanged himself. Acts of the Apostles 1:18 – Judas fell and his body burst open. Different descriptions of Judas's death. .

This isn't necessarily a contradiction. If we instead combine the accounts in Matthew and then in Acts, we can see that it is possible Judas hung himself as indicated in Matthew, and his bloated body, probably after many days, fell and burst open.

Why do I say this is quite possibly the case? This is because chapter 1 of the book of Acts accounts for the events that took place more than 40 days after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ of Israel, which is the period right after the ascension of Jesus Christ of Israel.

SHUT UP THERE.
ISRAEL HAS SLAUGHTERED MORE PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE EAST THAN ANY OTHER NATION BY AN ABSOLUTE MILE.
GO AND ASK THE 300,000 PALESTINIANS SLAUGHTERED IN GAZA BY THEM.
THE MIDDLE EAST WAS PEACEFUL UNTIL YOUR FAKE "ISRAEL" OF WHITE EUROPEANS BARGED IN THERE IN 1948 CLAIMING FALSELY THAT THEY WERE "JEWS", AND THAT GOD HAD PROMISED THEM LAND THERE!
THEY NEED TO GO BACK TO EUROPE WHERE THEY CAME FROM.
AND YOU, KOBOJUNKIE, NEED TO STOP SUPPORTING THEIR GENOCIDE AND MASS SLAUGHTER OF CHILDREN.

But even as of today, the ICC has yet to find any evidence of Genocide or the mass slaughter of children against Israel.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has not charged Israeli leadership with genocide, as Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan stated that his office currently lacks the specific evidentiary basis required to meet the high legal threshold for genocide. Instead, the ICC issued arrest warrants for Israeli officials based on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

If you need to, please look up the UN definition of the word Genocide to refresh your understanding and help you separate private delusions from accepted standards. https://www.ohchr.org/en/instruments-mechanisms/instruments/convention-prevention-and-punishment-crime-genocide

And the war between Israel and Hamas has lasted at least 2 years and 8 months at this point.

In other news,

A Palestinian man from Gaza, whose family was killed during the war, has filed a 40-page submission with the International Criminal Court (ICC), marking the first time a Palestinian has formally sought ICC action against Hamas. The complaint, submitted by an international legal team, accuses 14 top Hamas leaders of war crimes and crimes against humanity, including the use of civilians as human shields and the murder of Palestinians....The filing names 14 high-ranking officials, such as Khaled Mashaal, Khalil al-Hayya, Mousa Abu Marzook, Mahmoud al-Zahar, Ghazi Hamad, and Basem Naim.

➜Your "Greater Israel" agenda is a Failed Project. Stop killing people in the Middle East. You will NEVER be allowed to seize those lands.And if you keep this up, ONE of Iran's allies - Russia or China - will wipe Israel off the face of the Earth, and finally bring Peace to the world.

Who kills people in the Middle East more than Islamists? Look at Africa today, and you will see the pattern that has persisted for the last 1400 years continues to this day thanks to Islam.

➜Silver and Gold I may not have but my dignity is intact, as an Edoman that's a taboo. I did not pay the dowry via opay.

Huh? The fact that the money was returned to you is established even by you. You have only one marriage with this woman, which you entered into by way of the traditional payment of dowry, and that one marriage is also registered in the courts. That marriage ended the moment the bride price which was paid was refunded to you, irrespective of how it was refunded.

All the woman needs to do is present the proof of returned bride price -- the return payment made by her father to you -- to the courts to have the marriage registry updated on the divorce. So long as they have proof that they did in fact send you back your money, you shouldn't be able to do anything else about it.

... My purpose of this write up is just one ideology because I feel like a winner already lately. Life has being so different and easy for me. In marriage, I was never happy, I walked around with a HELP sign on my forehead the whole time, I was ashamed to ask her for assistance because when she did it would be broadcasted on CNN, resounding responsibility and a daily reminder living with you everyday. The responsibility still remain but it's different this time, xo different because the 50/50 that could have saved my sanity and possibly our marriage is exactly what we are doing now in seperation.
So my main purpose is a question of legality!... Can I make her feel some extra heat by filing a suit in court for bigamy ? or any terms or ideas 💡

The father sent the dowry back to you, and you then returned it. Why? Usually, the moment the father of the bride returns the dowry, that means the marriage is over and done with; you sending it back to him makes no sense nor changes that. Na freebie you give them be that.

AntiChristian:
➜So the dogma of co-equal and co-eternal Gods in Christianity is unfounded in the Bible?

All dogma, both of Islam and of Christianity(Judaism included), pretending to relate to Israelite Scriptures is wrong by virtue of the fact that all religions are scams according to Israelite texts.

AntiChristian:
➜What assumptions? Philippians 2:5-8
➜ This is not even close at all. The Qur'an will become a man on Judgement day. Is the man coming to earth to become another Allah? Or how is this even close to "the Persons Of God Are Co-equal And Co-eternal"?

1. Philippians is a letter written by a man whose assumptions you glorify over the facts.

2. It is actually very close. Your Quran in Islam is considered the word and law of Allah of Islam, and it will appear as a man who(without being judged himself) would stand to argue for believers before Allah of Islam. That is divinity accorded to the Quran.

AntiChristian:
So where is that part of the Athanacian creed derived from that their are one being, three persons of God; and they are Co-equal and Co-eternal?

I don't subscribe to any religion(all religions are scams). I can only tell you what is directly stated in the books.

AntiChristian:
➜"My father is greater than I" may said to relate to the Father compared to the Jesus on earth! Jesus humbled himself so the father will be greater than the humbled Jesus!
➜ What are you talking about in using an analogy in Islam....?

1. That literally makes no sense as it is based on two weak assumptions and not much else.

2. In Islam, the Quran is similarly related to Allah. It is considered the word of Allah in Islam, implying it has some form of divinity, does it not? However, it is not considered co-equal with Allah in Islam, as the Hadiths state that the Quran will take the form of a man to argue the case of those who would believe in Allah in Islam.

The statement "My Father is greater than I," kicks out the co-equal claims. Coequal is defined as being equal with another in rank, status , ability and rank. They are one but not equal. 🥱

I could use an analogy about the relationship between the Allah of Islam and the Quran to explain this bit, too, using details taken from the Quran and Hadiths. 🥱

You mentioned wife, not girlfriend, meaning that your marriage contract has already been signed and the ink don dry finish. But now you wish to change part of the agreement's terms after the fact. While what you ask for is reasonable, I am afraid you are already locked in, and short of throwing what may be a wrench into a seemingly good relationship in order to get your way, there doesn't seem much anyone can do for you. 🥱

I don't know why some people need maid if it isn't laziness or show off, I don't like the idea at all, my neighbor has a small girl working as a maid, I don't even know the last time that girl went to school, they'd send her on errand even at night, maybe I should even report this to the authority set....

Your neighbor should be in jail! That said, there are industrious men and women out there, many of them unmarried, who realize that engaging a house help(well-paid) leaves them time to do other more productive things.

That said, any man intending to marry a woman for the purpose of using her as a maid/househelp/cook/nanny/sex worker is a man no woman should want to be tied to.

I don't believe in democracy. My PVC is just for identification when needed, apart from that, i don't have any need for it.

Nigeria has not been operating as a republic democracy under APC. APC has instead been implementing what seems to be a socialized government in an attempt to Islamize the nation. With the blatant buying and rigging of votes in broad daylight, have you not realized that your vote literally counts for nothing at this point? Even your life is worth less with the terrorists already reaching the Southern borders at this time?

➜I didn't even bother reading everything because the reality is if it was your mom or dad that died there would definitely had been no excuse,

➜ It's not love, you are both clearly not compatible. Like I said previously. Really move on and forget about them

Ask 20 married women out there who lost either father or mother either while dating or during the marriage. The vast majority will likely tell you that their other half could not attend the funeral, typically for work-related reasons. This isn't an attempt to say that some women do not break off engagements for the same reason, but to put a perspective on things.

2. A woman shouldn't have to sacrifice her employment for love, just as a man shouldn't need to do so for a woman. If a man or woman decided on their own to quit, that is a whole different issue entirely. But to sacrifice one's source of livelihood for the sake of another human being... that has always almost always been a stewpid decision.

3. Love is not stewpid nor has it anything to do with stewpidity... stewpid people are just that ... stewpid.

✓So my advice to you is this: if your fiancé doesn't share that same myopic mindset, you may want to reconsider the marriage before making a final decision.

The man she was engaged to cancelled the wedding because she didn't ditch her job for his sake. Yet here you are desperately trying to separate him from his own action with a long epistle to nowhere. You sure say everything dey fine? 🥱

Op, in life, there are numerous lessons for each of us to learn. (Yes, the best teacher remains Life.) However, some useful idiots place themselves in the way of others learning the deserved lessons/consequences of their own actions. Never be that person to any human being, including your own children. You will always regret it. 🥱

Kobojunkie GasBuddy says it's 0.60 cents more than it was since the last time I bought gas before the war began. Location also matters. 🥱🥱🥱
Yes sure, location matters. Gas price has always been on the high here in California even before the war. Arizona which borders California sells gas for $2.56+ and It's been $4.50 here. My premium is $4.75 before.

Tha major reason gas prices are last 2 times what the national average is prewar has to do with ridiculous state government policies. I am glad California is finally getting the spotlight with the elections explosion the level of foolish that the people have been living under for years now. I look forward to the same happening in Illinois soon, and Pennsylvania soon. 🥱
