I wonder why my religious university teaches us redaction criticism in theology classes?

It's good you're thinking, but I believe that following the bible nowadays is the number one cause for stupidity and also causes delays in perception of reality........I suggest to save yourself!

Honestly...There is no explanation. Hello written by humans screwed by humans. that's what we do.

Is this the 10th or 12th time this has been cut and pasted by you?

Sure hope you saved all that on your hard drive. That's quite a piece of work!



I have a very short and simple answer: God is imaginary.

Church folks won't like your question, but I like it. They generally don't know the Bible well enough to deal with it. But how long did it take you to come up with all this? It's excellent.



Usually their response to something like this is "Get a life."

Denial, it's not just for finding floating babies anymore!

1.) VERY LONG!!! But good.



2.) "You're taking it out of context!"



3.) "God is perfect, it is a mistranslation!"



And so on, and so on....

How long did it take you to find all these?

Well there is my old Science book that definitively says Pluto is a planet.



There is my old Science book that says Man Desended from Primate not the MAN and PRIMATES decended from an unknown common ancestor.



I guess science is exempt from critical thinking about contradictions.



Anybody want to explain these Bible contradictions today, or are we still in the self-denial stage?

the first one is easy...



of course God said the creation was good before the fall and the entrance of evil in the world. After the entrance of sin in the world, the originally good creation was broken... obviously they did not real research when they made this list.



and you can assume that if the source was that far off on the first one they are way off on the rest Most of these boil down to different senses of the same word.



God dwell in temples... ie he is in the temple in a special way... but everywhere also but not in the special way

Wow. I have to tell ya, I never grow tired of these questions, even though theyre asked day after day, over, and over, and over, and over again. And even though every jackass who asks them thinks they're being original. Yeah. It doesnt get old at all. I mean, why bother letting people believe how they wish, when we can attack them for their beliefs every chance we get? And why scream for freedom of religion, and give that right to others, when we can scream for freedom of religion, but then condemn those who disagree with our beliefs. Yeah. You rock.

Poor editing seems like the most reasonable explanation.

Your first "contradiction" stems from a basic failure to distinguish God's initial creation from man's free decision to reject God. God was satisfied with the beauty and goodness (i.e. fullness of being) of the entire created universe, including man. But man was given the ability to reject God, and he chose to make use of this ability. Before the flood, God saw that all men were wicked, all had chosen sin, and God does not approve of sin which is the rejection of God. So to sum up, God approved of his creation but disproved of what men with free will did with his creation. I could point out your errors in the remaining 142 "contradictions", but since you screwed up on the very first one I am not going to waste my keyboard.



Anybody want to explain these Bible contradictions today, or are we still in the self-denial stage?

Perhaps you should do some serious research and understand the context of each of those verses before you say that they are contradictions. For example, in that first example that you gave (Genesis 1:31) regarding God being satisfied with His works, if you read the text, you will see that this verse occurs before Man began sinning. Then, in Genesis 6:6 God is "dissatisfied" in that He is expressing sorrow for what Man has done to himself. This is after Man began sinning and living lives that were not pleasing to God.



Also, you might want to make sure that you've got your "facts" straight. You mention a contradiction in 2 Samuel 8:4 and 1 Chronicles 18:4, saying that they give contradicting numbers. Well, if you read the text, you'lle notice that they don't give contradicting numbers. Both verses give the same numbers.



One more that I'll discuss is James 1:2 and Matt 6:13. You say that they are contradicting becase the James verse discusses temptation to be desired, and the Matthew verse discusses temptation NOT to be desired. If you read a little bit more, you will see that the Matthew verse is a prayer to God regarding temptations that we face. The James verse doesn't even talk about temptation, but rather trials that we face that help us to develop perseverence and that strengthen our faith.



Also, one more thing to remember is that not everything in the Bible is meant to be taken literally. For example, John 6:35 says "Then Jesus declared 'I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty'". I think it's pretty clear that Jesus wasn't calling himself a literal piece of bread. He uses "bread" as a metaphor to say that he is the sustainer of life. We must eat (or consume nutrition of some sort) in order to survive.



I would discuss more of these so called "contradictions", but I don't think I need to. I recommend that you go through your list again and look at each and every verse in its context. I doubt that you'lle have anything left to list.



Anybody want to explain these Bible contradictions today, or are we still in the self-denial stage?

Yes I could answer every one of those misreadings of the Bible. But of course you don't have ears to hear. You're merely cutting and pasting anti-Christian propaganda that you yourself haven't seriously thought about nor even read the context. Right?



Anybody want to explain these Bible contradictions today, or are we still in the self-denial stage?

Simple.



Man (and woman) is a mass of contradictions.



Man was made in God's image.



Or wait, was that the other way round?



Either way, that would explain why God and His book is a mass of contradictions too.

If you can't figure it out then you need to go back to school because I will not waste my Time.



Anybody want to explain these Bible contradictions today, or are we still in the self-denial stage?

quite a number of these contradictions are easily handled, especially when you read them in the context they are written (both the surrounding verses as well as the writers and historical time periods). Many of these even rely upon deliberately pulling words out of context.



And even the contradictions that aren't easily explained aren't really that important. It doesn't matter that man, in transcribing, rewriting, deliberately altering, translating and printing the Bible didn't get every single detail perfectly in words that you understand. The core messages are what is important (to me). Yes, I know that there are Christians who argue that every single word of the Bible is literal truth, but not all of us are so dogmatic.

dude.. u should pray....



u cant just get little phrases of the bible and put them togather with other ones that contradict themselves.. u have to look it over all...



jezz get a life!

You sound like a real fool. Keep on finding what you call contradictions if you desire, and see where it takes you to.



Anybody want to explain these Bible contradictions today, or are we still in the self-denial stage?

The answer is simple logic, If God had not done it all at least once would you truly be able to believe he is the creator of all things.



This one was easy, try harder.
