Bible Note: 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.
