You said:" I can't make sense of a book that says the Bible is true and then contradicts it." I would have to agree with you on this issue however since you have crossed this bridge let us walk together down the road of contradictions. Deuterononomy ch 4 tells us to not accept additions to what Moses has given. Did not Joshua even Jesus add to this law? So based upon our agreed method we must strike Deuteronomy or eveything there after as contradiction..You choose Romans tells us the story of Grace and just how amazing it is. Let us continue this journey to James who contradicts word for word "salvation by faith alone" with his exhortation of "faith without works is dead" . Thus we strike James or is it Romans..you choose Revelations warns us again against adding to...Shall we strike Luther, Calvin, Zwingli, perhaps we should even strike this forum. This merely brings me to my point yet again. Let the spirit guide and not the letter of your law. The Bible is the greatest idol there is. How idolotrous it truly is to say that God is contained in a book, how easy and subtly the followers of Christ slip into idolatry. Bible, Bible. Who will stand up and say No! It is Jesus, Jesus Jesus not Bible that should be on the lips of the true child of God. If it be the Book Of Mormon, If it be Science and Health, If it be the Hindu Vedas that bring a man to the knees of repentance, the life of reformation and the joy of release than so be it and praise the name of Jesus for it. Blessed Be |

Hi, Chochma; You want contradictions in the Bible? I could point you to several sophomoric web sites that claim to reveal "contradictions". They are all hosted by people who can read words but can't understand them. There are not many on this forum who are fooled by them. I'll reply to your alleged "contradictions", but please - no more. Deuteronomy 4:2 instructs the Israelites not to change the Law given to Moses. Neither Joshua nor Jesus did so. God certainly did not say that he would be silent from that point on. God's continued involvement with humanity is what the rest of the Bible is about. James does not contradict the doctrine of savlation by faith alone. James says that faith does not sit idly by, it shows outward signs. No outward signs, no faith. We certainly shall strike Luther Calvin, and Zwingli if we are seeking God's word. Unlike Muhammad and Joseph Smith, they did not claim to be recipients of a private divine revelation. I agree that believers can and sometimes do turn the Bible into an idol; I've said so myself on this forum. But it is not the greatest idol of all. The human intellect and its worldly products are the greatest idols of all. God is not contained in a book; his word is. It is reliable; the human intellect is not. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |
