Bible Note: So, where is your proof that Scripture contradicts itself? Scripture is either inspired by God or it isn't. If it is isn't, then it is not necessarily of any more value than many other religious writings of antiquity. If it is inspired by God and is contradictory, then it is fallible and God is fallible. We can't say that God is infallible but the writings He inspired are fallible. If the Bible contradicts itself, then 2 Timothy 3:16 is a lie. If 2 Timothy 3:16 is a lie, how are we to be sure that other parts of the Bible are not lies too, or even conclude that the entire Bible is one big hoax? The Bible leaves us with but two choices: we believe it to be the true, inerrant word of God or we don't. Similarly, Christ leaves us with no viable choices, no gray areas in between: we believe He is who He says He is or we don't. Therefore, when we say that the Bible contradicts itself, we are saying one of two things. We are saying that the Bible is not the word of God, or we are saying that it is but that God contradicts Himself. Neither view is Christian. ..... I should think that anyone who has the audacity to state point blank on this forum that the Bible is contradictory would have the intellectual honesty to try at least to prove his statement. As I said before, a statement of this nature is worthless without proof. So please give this forum proof that the Bible is contradictory. --Hank |
