    Bible contradictions

    One way to explain all the contradictions in the Bible, is that the text of the Bible was written after the events. The accounts of the events had been pass forward, in time, by word of mouth. The New Testament version of the Bible was written about 200 years after the events. Rather than be...

    Bible contradictions

    Romans 5 12Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death was passed on to all men, because all sinned. 13For sin was in the world before the law was given; but sin is not taken into account when there is no law. 14Nevertheless, death reigned...

    Bible contradictions

    Let's save a lot of time and just discuss why anyone would expect there NOT to be contradictions in a collection of texts written over a long period of time by a lot of different authors focusing of a lot of different subjects.

    Bible contradictions

    This account of Saul’s death is obviously inconsistent with that given in 1 Samuel 31. It is useless to attempt to harmonize them, but it is quite unnecessary to assume that we have two different traditions of the manner of Saul’s death. The Amalekite’s story was clearly a fabrication. In...

    Bible contradictions

    Both are true - it's just as it states - in Saul's attempt at suicide, his method or technique failed to expedite his death thus prolonging his agony. The Amalekite appeared and upon Saul's request, he finished the delayed but INEVITABLE outcome. They both contributed to Saul's death. It is...

    The Bible and Cremation

    Remember faithful people like Jonathan were burned after death besides un-faithful - Joshua 7:25; 1 Samuel 31:8-13 Cremation speeds up the process of Genesis 3:19 ( dust ) So cremation was an acceptable way to treat remains - 2 Samuel 2:4-6. Of course, the feelings of others could enter into the...

    Let's not talk about the Big Bang

    Would a young girl (does not have to mean a minor) mind being rescued_______Deuteronomy 21:13 Remember: she could leave. 1 Sam 31 is right 2 Sam 1 please notice the person lied - 2 Samuel 1:16 (Notice after verse 12 verse 16 ) 2 Sam 21 the Philistines took already dead Saul - 1 Chronicles 10:8...

    Let's not talk about the Big Bang

    1 Samuel 31:4-6 says Saul killed himself by falling on his sword. 2 Samuel 1:2-10 says Saul, at his own request, was slain by an Amalekite. 2 Samuel 21:12 says Saul was killed by the Philistines on Gilboa. 1 Chronicles 10:13-14 says Saul was slain by God. Spoils of war in the name of a...

    Bible contradictions

    I think we can make a few categories. 1. Historic like how did Saul die. 2. Doctrine also we need to ask is this an error in translation or transcription vs. an error in writing. If we accept that people are imperfect then a few minor historical issues are not a big deal. The issue is do...

    Bible contradictions

    Do you honest feel that it is beneficial looking for contradictions in the Bible other than learning and applying its inspiring message to help you change your personality? Consider the accounts in more depth. The writers of both of the books are accredited to Samuel, Nathan or Gad-all...

    Bible contradictions

    When I was a teenager, Christian apologetics was my thing. I would like to create a thread about contradictions in the Bible. Believers of it often claim it is without contradiction, something I used to tout. Let’s compile the contradictions, and let’s try to explain them if possible. I’ll...

    Is it ok to get cremated if you believe you will be resurrected?

    God does Not need the old body for us to be in God's memory. I find at 2 Chronicles 34:5 that the ' bones ' were burned. 'Bodies' were burnt at 1 Samuel 31:12. Think too of people destroyed by atomic bombs. Not what you'd call cremation but result being the same. So, those who will have a...

    Are we experiencing an apocalypse?

    As for WW1 being an extension of WW1, yeah sure. The 1918 battle of Meggido, which entailed the crushing of the Germans(Roman Kaisar/Caesar) (feet of iron), and the crushing of the Muslim Turks (toes of clay) (Daniel 2:34), enabled the implementation of the Balfour Declaration, which was the...

    Are we experiencing an apocalypse?

    The book of Revelation is arguably the most difficult New Testament book to comprehend. There are countless people who have speculated as to its meanings and tried to connect it to current world events both presently and in the past. There are however recurring themes of humanities turning...

    From where did the "wives" of Cain and Abel come?

    But many, many Jews and Christians don't read remarks in the Bible as fictional plot devices, but rather as advice, requests, commands, and depictions of facts. Two of those "facts": Q. Did Jesus bear his own cross to Golgotha? YES John 19:17 17 He [Jesus] carried his own cross to a place...

    What are your thoughts on cremation?

    Well, first of all the Bible doesn't say anything for or against so whatever you decide is in line with that. The Bible says from dust we came and to dust we return. Cremation is just the quickest way to do that. In the past Jews and Catholics have taken a negative view on the burning of the...

    Asherah

    Asherah, or Ashtoreth, was the name of the chief female deity worshiped in ancient Syria, Phoenicia, and Canaan. The Phoenicians called her Astarte, the Assyrians worshiped her as Ishtar, and the Philistines had a temple of Asherah (1 Samuel 31:10). Because of Israel’s incomplete conquest of the...

    Creation and Evolution Compatible...Questions

    It isn't ignorance to reject supposition. It isn't ignorance to refuse to be persuaded by suggestion. This is all science has for evidence of macro-evolution. There are no "facts" so there can be no proof. Is that difficult to understand? :shrug: The "everyone else believes it except you...
