There are plenty of contradictions in the bible. I'll name one of the biggest ones. It was so big that newer translations like the NKJV, NIV and many others quickly corrected it because it was so embarrasing: KJV Genesis 22:1 and KJV James 1:13.
Even more embarrassing, the KJV even messed up...
"1,000 years is like a day to God." The scribe who wrote that could not fathom what 1,000 years is like obviously. They only lived maybe 50-70 years on average back then and no one at any point in time in history could either nor today. What was stopping him from saying 10,000 years is like a...
Updated to elaborate on "other examples." And to me, the bible and religion as a whole are things of the past. Modern society is moving on from religion and superstition. Religion is declining faster than ever also. Does this mean Jesus is coming because people are leaving Christianity in...
Nothing in the bible and what it says can be applied to the normal way of life today. Heck, some of its texts are almost 3,000 years old! The bible is a collection of 66 books composed by random authors over the course of a very long period of time. Most of the authors, at least in the old...
Ex-christian here. When I was a christian I was presented with two distinct forms of christianity; one where you say a few abracadabra words and you are good to go and the other was "you just have to keep at it or you are lost." The latter makes LESS sense than the first concept if you are a...
Jesus Christ Byzantine Portrait c. 7th-11th A.D
Jesus is a mythological character derived from many different gods way before he came to be. let's take a look at a couple of deities that look very similar to him and have done miracles very similar to his as well. Yes, there are many more...
Seriously. If there wasn't a threat of eternal damnation for those who reject Jesus then Christianity wouldn't be nearly as popular as it is today.
Take it from an ex-Christian, the Christian religion is built on fear mongering principles and is systematically designed to instill that fear...
I was a Christian for 14 years until I started running into theses kinds of BIG contradictions and problems within the bible itself. Be prepared to be mind blown.
There are plenty of bible verses in the OT about how God is acknowledged by the Jewish people as the one who is their "salvation"...
king solomon descendant line with David: 1 chronicles 22:9-10 I forgot to explicitly mention that.
There are many other prophecies he didn't fulfill such as Jeramiah 30:3 and Isaiah 11:11-12 stating that the messiah would have been able to convince all the jews who are away from Israel to come...
*Staff edit*. Here is why.
He failed one of the first OT prophecies which was to be descended from king David and king Solomon. Genesis 49:10 states that the messiah would descend from king David's side and king Solomon in Chronicles 22:9-10. Jesus already failed this due to a virgin birth...
JESUS IS NOT GOD AND EVEN LIED ABOUT IT
Jesus cannot be God because Jesus was a man who lied about being God, which goes against Numbers 23:19; "God is not a man, that he should lie, Nor the son of man, that he should repent..." Not to mention in, Hosea 11:9 God flat out states, "I am GOD...
I read 2 out of 3 and touched on a summary with one of the others. Which one do you believe is the best and give your reasons for why. For those that think none of them are any good, state your reasons as well.
Refuting the incoherence of Hinduism's "Karma and Rebirth Cycle" can easily be done with pure reasoning alone:
"My dear heroic King, due to my past sincere service to the Lord, I could remember everything of my past life even while in the body of a deer. Because I am aware of the falldown in my...
