Correct. However, please let me point out your goal here:
How about you let ME do that instead (instead of you taking my words out of context).
Rather than formulate a subjective opinion about why I think the bible is wrong or right, or why other people who I've never met before may or may not follow it, I'd rather focus on debating the actual issue, which is the content of the bible, and determining whether or not it is actually erroneous.
If it is erroneous, then we should point out specific examples of the errors, and determine whether or not these can answered. If they can, then the entire premise of the OP's question is flawed to begin with. If some can and others cannot, then the OP's question may have some validity (with multiple explanations). If none of them can, then OP's question is perfectly valid and your assumptions about other people should perhaps be given more weight than they currently have as it stands.
Highlighted are all of the parts that you left out when you attempted to mis-characterize my position. You're welcome!
For the record, I'm well aware of some specific errors to various translations of the bible. So it wouldn't be logical for you to assume that my intent is to prove that the bible has no errors. It certainly does! I'm simply waiting to see of you or the OP can point some out, which might cause a believer to question whether or not they should still be a believer. And so far, you have yet to do that!
By the by, we're still waiting for a reply to my:
2 Kings 8:26 says Two and twenty [22] years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign
2 Chronicles 22:2 says Forty and two [42] years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign
42
≠ 22
Reply: Both accounts specify that he reigned one year "in Jerusalem" but neither specify where he "began to reign." Thus we must gather from the context where exactly Ahaziah began to reign in each of these accounts. In 2 Kings the focus is on Israel, so Ahaziah "began to reign" (as co-regent) in Israel at the age of 22. In 2 Chronicles the focus is on Judah, so Ahaziah "began to reign" in Judah at the age of 42.
Texas Newspaper says,
"George W. Bush was 49 years old when he began to govern; and he governed 8 years in Washington."
Washington Newspaper says,
"George W. Bush was 54 years old when he began to govern; and he governed 8 years in Washington."
These two accounts do not contradict. The Texas Newspaper focuses on Texas politics, so it tells the age of George W. Bush at the time when he began to govern Texas as the state governor. The Washington Newspaper, on the other hand, focuses on federal politics so it tells the age of George W. Bush at the time when he began to govern the United States as the president. The accounts may be unclear without the qualifying phrases, "as governor" or "as president," but unclear parallel statements are not the same as contradicting parallel statements.
Co-regency was typical in the two kingdoms of Judah and Israel. We see that demonstrated in the cases of Jehoshaphat, Jehoram, Jotham, Jeroboam II and Manasseh. Ahaziah was co-regent of Israel at age twenty-two and later became king of Judah at age forty-two.
1 Kings 4:26 says And Solomon had forty thousand [40,000] stalls of horses for his chariots
2 Chronicles 9:25 says And Solomon had four thousand [4,000] stalls for horses and chariots
4,000
≠ 40,000
1 Kings 4:26 says:
Solomon had forty thousand
stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
2 Chronicles 9:25 says:
Solomon had four thousand
stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
The two verses do not contradict because they describe different types of stalls. The stalls in 1 Kings 4:26 were "of horses" which were used for chariots and by horsemen. Nothing in this verse says that these stalls were for the chariots. On the other hand, the stalls in 2 Chronicles 9:25 were for "horses AND chariots". Such a stall to house both horses and chariots would not have been as numerous as stalls to house just horses because there is always a smaller ratio of chariots to horses. In fact, 2 Chronicles 1:14 says there were 1,400 chariots. Hence it makes sense that there would be less of these stalls that were capable of storing both horses and chariots.
So, still no erroneous scripture, only erroneous comprehension through faulty interpretation. Anything else?
