Bible Note: 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.
