Bible Note: Greetings Hank! Thank you! ;-) It has long amazed me how people will throw the charge around that Scripture contradicts itself, when they don't even really understand the word 'contradiction' itself. Something cannot be both A and not A at the same time. This would be a contradiction. However, something can be A and A and B at the same time. This is not a contradiction. In all of my years of dealing with supposed contradictions and errors in Scripture, I have found that the vast majority are readily answered with just a little common sense. There are only one or two 'errors' that I have found which have no easy answer. In these rare cases, the text is most likely built upon an ancient textual error. One of my favorites was someone who told me that the Bible was in error because the text said that Jesus was riding on a donkey, but then it says that 'He sat on them'. :-) What the gentleman didn't realize is that the pronoun 'them' was in reference to the plural word 'clothes' or 'cloaks' which were thrown over the donkey! ;-) So many try so hard to discount Scripture! :-( Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
