This, of course, depends on your reading of the bible. Whilst there are those nutjob fundamentalists who argue every word is for taking as gospel truth (lol pun), most historians would say it is more of a guidebook by which life should be lived. I don’t agree with that message, though, and the Bible sure has a lot of conflicting messages. And, of course, God and Jesus didn’t write it - humans did, years, decades and centuries after the event - and it has gone through a vast number of variants and translations.
If they really wanted to get the point across, though, they could just have written “Don’t be a jerk” and be done with it.
This, of course, depends on your reading of the bible.
Christians often tell me “It is not the Bible that is wrong, it is your interpretation of it. You are quoting it out of context.”
I tell them this: Write a fucking plain English version of the Bible with the right and wrong things clearly stipulated so that there is no room for misinterpretation.
Only one problem: Going this route, it will only prove the fallacy that is the Bible (both old and new Testaments).
Stupid religions. They’re like Bush’s War in Iraq: You make it up as you go along.
I love your blog. Fuck decency, Political correctness, and any other group who tries to censor what you say, or can’t take a joke.
You’d think that the 4c types would be more understanding of this. Guess they’re just not really into the whole thing as much as they like to think they are.
“Contradiction #6: Who was Moses’ father-in-law? Exodus 3:1 Jethro was the father-in-law of Moses. VS. Numbers 10:29, Judges 4:11 (KJV) Hobab was the father-in-law of Moses.”
Contradiction Number Ten: Jesus stated that he was the only person to ascend up into heaven, thereby denying all the other biblical ascentions. “No man hath ascended into heaven but he that descended from heaven, the Son of Man.” — John 3:13 VS. 2 Kings 2:11 “And as they still went on and talked, behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated the two of them. And Eli’jah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.” Hebrews 11:5 “By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God had taken him.” 2 Corinthians 12:2-4 “I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven–whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows. And I know that this man was caught up into Paradise– and he heard things that cannot be told, which man may not utter.”
Ascending uder your own power and abilities /= being carried up by God’s power.
Matthew The prophecy given in Is.7:14 referred not to a virgin but to a young woman, living at the time of the prophecy. And Jesus, of course, was called Jesus — and is not called Emmanuel in any verse in the New Testament. 1:23
he isn’t called Emmanuel which means God with us yet,because he hasn’t yet ruled the world for a thousand years.

“Contradiction #6:
Who was Moses’ father-in-law?
Exodus 3:1 Jethro was the father-in-law of Moses.
VS.
Numbers 10:29, Judges 4:11 (KJV) Hobab was the father-in-law of Moses.”
Moses had two wives so of course he had two father-in-laws.

so you need to cut that one out of your contradiction list.

Contradiction Number Ten:
Jesus stated that he was the only person to ascend up into heaven, thereby denying all the other biblical ascentions.
“No man hath ascended into heaven but he that descended from heaven, the Son of Man.” — John 3:13
VS.
2 Kings 2:11 “And as they still went on and talked, behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated the two of them. And Eli’jah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.”
Hebrews 11:5 “By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God had taken him.”
2 Corinthians 12:2-4 “I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven–whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows. And I know that this man was caught up into Paradise– and he heard things that cannot be told, which man may not utter.”
Ascending uder your own power and abilities /= being carried up by God’s power.
this one needs to be cut out as well.
