[Nonson]

In my possession is a collection of biblical contradictions that make up a volume of 512 chapters, equalling some 540,000 words. From here on It is my intention to use this resource in answering the Paulinists (followers of Christianity).

[PaulLL]

Nonson, I don't have the time to explain the true meanings of all these biblical passages, but, I will do so of some. When the Word says "For by grace are ye saved through faith that not of yourselves..." & James2:24 "...so we see that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only". Here we see that we are indeed saved through faith, and not of works. Although we also see that all who have sincere faith, will INDEED also have works to back it up as a confirmation of true faith. We must not misinterpret how one is saved, it's by God's grace(unmerited favour) that we should be called the sons of God, and no GOOD WORK WILL EVER SAVE ANYONE! When It says "justified by works" that sure can be confusing, but still, It does not mean to imply that through works we are saved!


When It says "...eye for an eye..." in the Old Testament, and JESUS says in the New Testsment "...turn thy cheek...", you must see that Old Testament times were very different from New Testament times, and Jesus said "I bringa new commandment unto you..." and there is no error in that. You see, Nonson, you won't ever discover the truth of the Word unless you recieve Jesus, who will show you these things. ALL THOSE "BIBLICAL CONTRADICTIONS" are your untruthful interpretations, you will NEVER, as a lost man undertsand HIS WORD, PERIOD. Nice try, though.
-PaulL-

[Nonson]

PauIL,

So now it is you who proclaims that your g-d is not infallible, nor is his word inerrant. Why not take the next step and denounce him as a figment of a sick mind? Anyway you have indicated that I am correct, and that is victory enough for now.

[PaulLL]

Nonson, how did I indicate you were correct?

[Nonson]

It is the accepted practice of rational people to respond, in so far as possible, directly to the query of another. Only when there is something to hide does one use subterfuge to avoid replying honestly to it.

The topic is the posted contradictions which were takened from the Bible which is claimed to be the inerrent world of the infallible christian god. There is a conscious effort of the believers in the book to avoid any credible or truthful response to what is labelled as a lie by myself.

There are literally thousands of contradictions and errors found in this so-called holy book that the christians call the "inspired word of god", but which they refuse to defend. Rather they choose instead to attack those who point out the obvious flaws therein.

The christians prove the correctness of the views of their detractors by criticising them instead of taking up the issue being questioned and giving it a truth treatment. By their actions, the christians establish also that they are liars.

Christians are a dangerous lot. They are entirely delusional and hate-filled. By accepting the insane doctrines of the Bible they become the enemy of all people of a democratic mind-set. Every christian of strong conviction as to the truth of the Bible is a racist and a terrorist. They should be sanctioned by the government, if not outlawed and eradicated.

#1 This is going to be interesting. First of all regarding Matt.10:28, there is no such passage as you wrote fromthat reference.
#2 For wrath killeth the foolish man.... and Let not the sun go down upon your wrath. Wrath will kill the foolish man and so the Bible instructs us not to let the day pass until wev'e asked God forgiveness and man forgiveness for being angry with them. If we do not ask forgiveness we are foolish in doing so and if we continue to be angry it very well might kill us.
#4 Christ is simly saying that if he alone bear witness of himself his witness is not true because he did not come from heaven of his own will, his Father sent him. Why not give the whole of John8:18, I am one that beareth witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. Being that the Father beareth witness of him, it is therefore true, and so he caan truthfully bear witness of himself.
#5 Prov.13:22 is in the Old Testamnet before the new teachings which Christ taught. Luke12:33 if taken in context, is speaking to the flock of God for them to sell what they had and give alms, but that obviously does not mean your home and things of necessity. You can still leave your children an inheritance and still sell ewhat maynot be absolutely needful, and give to the poor, increasing their heavenly riches.
#6 This is simply saying that if one(a saved individual) fears the Lord(honors him), he will bless you with riches and wealth(for some that may be a bountiful family, with respect and love). Now in the context of Matt.9:24 he'sspeaking to the rich man, who wants to obey Jesus' teaching's. He asks Jesus(roughly), "I have followed all your teachings, what do I lack? Jesus says, "If you want to be perfect(saved), go and sell what you have, and give to the poor, and come and follow me. The rich man walked away sorrowful, not willing to give up the great riches he had to go and follow Jesus. His riches were in the way of him becoming saved. So those who are rich are will most likely not be willing to give up their riches and follow the Christian way, so they love their riches more than Christ.
#7 Other passages in the Bible say thast Jesus was in heaven while he was also on earth. Jesus is God and God is omnipresent. He says that his Father is greater than him. So. Christ is one with his Father in heaven, but he's also omnipresent.Where's the contradiction? There is none. The Bible must be taken in context before claiming it contradicts itself. Context includes whether old or new testament, the rest of the chapter of the alledged contradictory verse, who the chapter is written to and why, and how the the Hebrew translates the verse. Going through all these ridiculous alledged contradictory verses would be alot of explaining, but maybe you should check out the context of these verse beforeclaiming they are contradictions.
