1) James is not contradictory with Paul....if read in context. You need to understand who the audiences are to which James and Paul are writing.
2) I am not aware of any contradictions in Paul's writings. Again, you have to keep it in context. That may be where your concern is originating.
3) If you're really concerned with an accurate translation, get a copy of the Bible either in the original Greek, or use an interlinear or use the NASB translation.
4) I am not aware of anyone who worships the Bible. The Bible is the Word of God so we should study it to learn from it what God's will is.
5) Suggest you read up on the OT and NT canon formation. I would recommend a book by F.F. Bruce, The Canon of Scripture.
I hope this helps somewhat.
What is baseless or charade about what I posted? Matthew and Luke are obviously two different genealogies. One goes off from David’s son Solomon and the other from David’s son Nathan. Not the same line.
Inspired by the Holy Spirit?
The Holy Spirit does not err.
Different points of view, but the same story.
Thanks. Well advanced . I am open minded. I will consider. GB!!
Did you know you can’t inherit from your step father?
If you are adopted you can. Just like Christians are adopdted into the family of God.
We have no clue what happened to him.
And your point is?
He wasn’t even at the crucifixion.
And your point is?
No I’m talking Joseph was NOT the father of Jesus— not what idiots thought!
**not what idiots thought!**
I have a feeling that if you and I were there, and were not disciples of the Lord, we’d have probably thought just like they did. Chill FRiend.
ok
I’m trying to understand what your point is here. Do you deny that the Bible is Divinely inspired Scripture and is given to us by God, preserved by Him, so that we can know the truths He has revealed for our faith? I do not worship the Bible - I honor and cherish it like the love letter it is to us from our Father in heaven. Without it we would only have oral history and traditions passed down by others with no way of verifying if what they say is so. Paul praised the noble Bereans because they studied the Scriptures to see if what he was telling them about Jesus was true. It was why, with the testimony of the Holy Spirit to their hearts, they believed.
The bible is a history book. Many history books are written hearsay. but the history is accurately reflected and comes out by the preponderance of the testimony. Jesus is real. Jesus saved us on the Cross if we believe he is the Son of God. The bible is a history book. It is full of human error and had become a false idol.
The Bible is an anthology of some 66 Divinely inspired books.
Some of them are indeed historical or the History.
Some are Poetry.
Some are the Law.
Some are Prophecy.
God the Holy Spirit so supernaturally directed the human writers of Scripture, that without waiving their human intelligence, vocabulary, individuality, literary style, personality, personal feelings, or any other human factor, His complete and coherent message to mankind was recorded with perfect accuracy in the original languages of Scripture, the very words bearing the authority of divine authorship. This is called verbal plenary inspiration of the Scripture.
Yes...the Bible never quibbles over the great many sins of man. It is one of the many reasons we know it comes to us from God. Were it left up to mere men’s memories, I highly doubt we’d know much of what we do. Mere history can’t help but embellish, you know. The victors write the history it is said.
The Bible, though is way more than just a history book. God reveals His plans and purposes through his prophets and he commanded them to write it down. Jesus said heaven and earth would pass away but his words will never pass away. The grass withers and the flower fades, but the word of our God endures forever.
You would help yourself by reading the link that was provided to you.
The article mentioned by Raycpa describes your error thusly:
“As is always the case, the charge of contradiction is premature and reflects an immature appraisal of the extant evidence. “
I would recommend you read “Evidence that Demands a Verdict” by McDowell for info on the accuracy of Scripture.
In your replies, I see you are willing to exercise due diligence with dedication in your studies, but you also need to avail yourself of the best study materials that have been produced by the scholars that teach innerancy.
No
(It's time to play, "Are YOU smarter than a skeptic?")
...
Huh. Suddenly the significance of errors has decreased greatly. /snark>
