101 Contradictions in the Bible:

[unit]

friendly greetings all,


i cut and pasted that 101 list, will pass along to some jehovah's witness friends for them to peruse.. will let u know what happens :)


hmm.. if these texts are supposed to be divinely inspired (ok, so we've agreed that humans wrote them but they are supposedly inspired from on high) why do they have so many inconsistancies? -- do Gods make mistakes?


are they even important? one of the contradictions is something like


a) one says 1280


B) another says 128


(is it just me or do you see a potential failure to carry a zero? is something like that a contradiction or simple error?) where definate contradictory answers are supplied ie: yes vs no or before vs after i can appreciate your inference.. (as for 1280 vs 128 this could be a simple error?) however when error upon error is encountered, we should ask questions..


in regards to quran and muslim people.. i met a muslim guy at an I.T. course.. one of the nicest people i ever met and even gave me literature to study, brought from his own money... who does things like this these days? a very nice person.. I don't believe this cr*p about all muslims being terrorists (btw - just look at who pushes this, aren't THEY the terrorists?)


i would consider that the bible and quran come from similar areas and similar times (quran came after supposedly, but there is an esoteric tradition behind each faction which sheds more light on the situation) -- it is possible the quran was made to combat the bible (as somebody seems to mention earlier)


the bible seems to be a hodgepodge of various world mythologies, religions.. i always liken it to a corporate takeover.. you keep what works and trash what doesn't and you can see all of it in the bible (just do some searching)


if i was a muslim trashing the bible.. i would pay attention to how both books use the same characters and start asking a lot of questions.. belief shaped reality.. but sometimes trying to get people to consider this is a bit :banghead:


i DO hope there is indeed a great day of judgement.. we need it..
