Biblical Contradictions

[ComradeChris]

Hey, I think I'm posting this in a repeat, but due to a couple lengthy arguments with friends the need for Biblical contradictions has arose. I'm pretty sure there is/was a thread on this, but I can't see it. But if people have a few websites just post them, that's all I really need. Thanks a bunch.

I really don't think their are any contradictions in the bible it is just that the christian right has misinterperated most of the bible. I do know for a fact that Jesus said steal from the rich and give to the poor, and since the far right will never do this, and they don't think Jesus meant it, they will tell you it meant something else and then it will appear as though their is some contradiction in the bible.

Well their are many explanations for these, they could have been taken from differant bibles, because some have differant wording, and also it has been 2000 years since these events happened so the translations could have changed the story quite a bit in that time. And like I said, their are many differant ways to interperut these, it is often hard to tell which parts of the bible are meant to be taken literally and which not. And, now that I think about it, if the contradiction appeared in one passage from the old testament and one from the new testament that would explain it, because their were so many changes after the new testament.

There doesn't need a thread askin' for "contradictions in the bible", since 'The Bible' says itself :P

Well, really. There's alot of contradictions in the bible, 'tho. Such as? Like the condemning of covetin' each other properities, yet some christians have supported of slavery, by fuck's sake...argh!

[C_Rasmussen]

Yeah well in a way The Bible is not really meant to be understood <_<.

There is no Biblical passage where such a statement appears or is even implied.

"Jesus" never said "steal from the rich".

Had he done so, Christianity would still be illegal.

Yey&#33; I always enjoy to see Christians disregard the bible as unreliable. Ofcourse in any logic reasoning this would mean that Christianity as a whole looses as meaning and can not be taken seriously as "the truth", because the bible forms the basis of knowledge on Christianity. But for some reason that logic isn&#39;t understood by Christians. Recently, when the world got a bit more progressive, Christians threw in the good old "you interpret it wrong" argument, to disregard the "evil quotes". Weakass&#33;

Another excellent source on how shitty the bible is: www.evilbible.com (http://www.evilbible.com)

For a list of contradictions: http://www.evilbible.com/Biblical%20Contradictions.htm

A few good ones:

4. God is seen and heard
Ex 33:23/ Ex 33:11/ Gen 3:9,10/ Gen 32:30/ Is 6:1/
Ex 24:9-11
God is invisible and cannot be heard
John 1:18/ John 5:37/ Ex 33:20/ 1 Tim 6:16

6. God is everywhere present, sees and knows all things
Prov 15:3/ Ps 139:7-10/ Job 34:22,21
God is not everywhere present, neither sees nor knows all
things

8. God is all powerful
Jer 32:27/ Matt 19:26
God is not all powerful
Judg 1:19

14. God is warlike
Ex 15:3/ Is 51:15
God is peaceful
Rom 15:33/ 1 Cor 14:33

18. God accepts human sacrifices
2 Sam 21:8,9,14/ Gen 22:2/ Judg 11:30-32,34,38,39
God forbids human sacrifice
Deut 12:30,31

There are just too many good ones there. Keep on reading, however I trust my Christian friends to ignore this one again, as they have always done. And for the idiots that somehow got the idea that Christianity is a hippy religion:

Think not that I come to send peace on earth: I came not to send
peace, but a sword.
- Matthew 10:34

... all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
- Matthew 26:52

Hippy&#33;

I&#39;m willing to bet this has been posted before. Oh well.

The bible has some interesting points, but it is been rewritten so many times that it cannot conatin the esssence of what was Christianity. This much is true.

Your right, I said this wrong, Jesus told the rich to sell their possessions and give the money to the poor.

[Non-Sectarian Bastard!]

The bible on money:

Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord... Wealth and riches
shall be in his house...
- Psalms 112:1-3

Yes, they actually say that the rich deserve to be rich&#33; Fuckin Christian scumbags.

Riches a blessing
Prov 10:15/ Job 22:23,24/ Job 42:12

But on the other hand they say:

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than
for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
- Matthew 19:24

Conclusion: the Bible proofs itself wrong.
