What do you think is true in the bible. It seems like you are prevaricating. And if something is true in the bible what is it and why is it true?

I think people should stop promoting biblical infallibility and stop proselyting and should teach people the bible in a critical way without making fa...

Contradictory claims abut the same topic leading to confusion. I am not claiming it is or should be. But many people still make this claim. I think if...

I don't think omnipotence makes sense without context. I think some omnipotence paradoxes only exist because of the flexibility of language. So for ex...

I am the person who started the contradictions thread and in there I did not make any claims about Gods existence. My primary question is how truth ca...

The reason I believed it is because it quoted and compared the words written in the bible.

You have yet to refute one contradiction. And it seems also you refuse to engage. If someone says 2+2=4 and 2+2=5 would you call that an alleged contr...

It is not a case of contradiction but there is no charitable interpretation to give it.

This a great succinct illustration of biblical contradiction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RB3g6mXLEKk

How do you apply the principle of charity to this verse? If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they s...

I am referring to what the bible actually says and not Christians believe. I gave detailed scriptural reference earlier to the blatant contradiction o...

If you cannot work that out why should I waste any more words?
January 03, 2019 at 20:20

January 03, 2019 at 20:18
How is the factual and irrefutable claim that the bible contains contradictions attacking the bible? It is simply a fact. The Bible is not a person th...

The thread was originally about the effect of contradiction on truths but the response has been people defending the bible. So I have had to point out...
January 03, 2019 at 17:23
That is a straw man and probably ad hominem. The contradictions are central to the the coherence of the bible and understanding its doctrines. The Bib...

My objective is how to find truth in the midst of conflicting or contradictory claims. I think we all face the dilemma of finding truth when there are...

It seems to be literalism that makes people reject Christianity/Judaism/Islam etc. I was taught Literalism and that is probably led me to reject the w...

Claims of inerrancy are made in different ways by different people so you can treat each one based on its own claims. But I did not intend to examine ...
