Will this do? I put it together myself
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Contradictions -- The Bible is riddled with repetitions and
|
|
|
|
contradictions, things that the Bible bangers would be quick to point
|
|
|
|
out in anything that they want to criticize. For instance, Genesis 1
|
|
|
|
and 2 disagree about the order in which things are created, and how
|
|
|
|
satisfied God is about the results of his labors. The flood story is
|
|
|
|
really two interwoven stories that contradict each other on how many
|
|
|
|
of each kind of animal are to be brought into the Ark -- is it one
|
|
|
|
pair each or seven pairs each of the "clean" ones? The Gospel of John
|
|
|
|
disagrees with the other three Gospels on the activities of Jesus
|
|
|
|
Christ (how long had he stayed in Jerusalem -- a couple of days or a
|
|
|
|
whole year?) and all four Gospels contradict each other on the details
|
|
|
|
of Jesus Christ's last moments and resurrection. The Gospels of
|
|
|
|
Matthew and Luke contradict each other on the genealogy of Jesus
|
|
|
|
Christ'f father; though both agree that Joseph was not his real
|
|
|
|
father. Repetitions and contradictions are understandable for a
|
|
|
|
hodgepodge collection of documents, but not for some carefully
|
|
|
|
constructed treatise, reflecting a well-thought-out plan.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Of the various methods I've seen to "explain" these:
|
|
|
|
1. "That is to be taken metaphorically" In other words, what is
|
|
|
|
written is not what is meant. I find this entertaining, especially
|
|
|
|
for those who decide what ISN'T to be taken as other than the
|
|
|
|
absolute WORD OF GOD - which just happens to agree with the
|
|
|
|
particular thing they happen to want...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. "There was more there than...." This is used when one verse says
|
|
|
|
"there was a" and another says "there was b", so they decide there
|
|
|
|
was "a" AND "b" -which is said nowhere. This makes them happy,
|
|
|
|
since it doesn't say there WASN'T "a+b". But it doesn't say there
|
|
|
|
was "a+b+litle green martians". This is often the same crowd that
|
|
|
|
insists theirs is the ONLY possible interpretation (i.e. only "a")
|
|
|
|
and the only way. I find it entertaining they they don't mind
|
|
|
|
adding to verses.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. "It has to be understood in context" I find this amusing because it
|
|
|
|
comes from the same crowd that likes to push likewise extracted verses
|
|
|
|
that support their particular view. Often it is just one of the
|
|
|
|
verses in the contradictory set is suppose to be taken as THE TRUTH
|
|
|
|
when if you add more to it it suddenly becomes "out of context".
|
|
|
|
How many of you have goten JUST John 3:16 (taken out of all context)
|
|
|
|
thrown up at you?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. "there was just a copying/writing error" This is sometimes called
|
|
|
|
a "transcription error", as in where one number was meant and an
|
|
|
|
incorrect one was copied down. Or that what was "quoted" wasn't
|
|
|
|
really what was said, but just what the author thought was said when
|
|
|
|
he thought it was said. And that's right - I'm not disagreeing with
|
|
|
|
events, I'm disagreeing with what is WRITTEN. Which is apparently
|
|
|
|
agreed that it is incorrect. This is an amusing misdirection to the
|
|
|
|
problem that the bible itself is wrong.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. "That is a miracle". Naturally. That is why it is stated as fact.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. "God works in mysterious ways" A useful dodge when the speaker doesn't
|
|
|
|
understand the conflict between what the bible SAYS and what they WISH
|
|
|
|
it said.

A good source of _literal_ Biblical self-contradictions is (surprise)
|
|
|
|
"Self-Contradictions of the Bible", written by William Henry Burr in
|
|
|
|
1859 as a response to fundamentalism. It is currently published by
|
|
|
|
Prometheus Books, 700 East Amherst St., Buffalo, NY 14215. P.B. also
|
|
|
|
publishes a large number of books on religious inquiry and biblical
|
|
|
|
critiques, the majority of which have a humanistic/atheistic slant.
|
|
|
|
As far as "Self-Contradictions ..." goes, it contains about 140 textual
|
|
|
|
inconsistencies, classified under "Theological Doctrines", "Moral Precepts",
|
|
|
|
"Historical Facts", and "Speculative Doctrines."
|
|
|
|
=============================================================================
|
|
|
|
"The Bible Handbook" is a compilation of several previous works by several
|
|
|
|
authors, including W P Ball, G W Foote, and John Bowden. Also, the writing
|
|
|
|
by Mr Foote is dated 1900, so we see that this is not a new endeavor.
|
|
|
|
_The Bible Handbook_ by W.P. Ball, et al., available for nine dollars from the
|
|
|
|
the American Atheist Press, P.O. Box 2117, Austin TX 78768-2117. It's a
|
|
|
|
collection of biblical contradictions, absurdities, atrocities, immoralities,
|
|
|
|
indecencies, obscenities, unfulfilled prophecies and broken promises. This
|
|
|
|
372-page volume will give the atheist tons of scriptural ammunition for
|
|
|
|
shooting down the flimsy arguments of the reality impaired.

'Gerah', the term which appears in the MT means (chewed) cud, and
|
|
|
|
also perhaps grain, or berry (also a 20th of a sheckel, but I think
|
|
|
|
that we can agree that that is irrelevant here). It does *not* mean
|
|
|
|
dung, and there is a perfectly adequate Hebrew word for that, which
|
|
|
|
could have been used. Furthermore, the phrase translated 'chew the cud'
|
|
|
|
in the KJV is more exactly 'bring up the cud'. Rabbits do not bring
|
|
|
|
up anything; they let it go all the way through, then eat it again.
|
|
|
|
The description given in Leviticus is inaccurate, and that's that.
|
|
|
|
Rabbits do eat their own dung; they do not bring anything up and
|
|
|
|
chew on it.

} order of creastion
|
|
|
|
Here is the order in the first (Genesis 1), the Priestly tradition:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Day 1: Sky, Earth, light
|
|
|
|
Day 2: Water, both in ocean basins and above the sky(!)
|
|
|
|
Day 3: Plants
|
|
|
|
Day 4: Sun, Moon, stars (as calendrical and navigational aids)
|
|
|
|
Day 5: Sea monsters (whales), fish, birds, land animals,
|
|
|
|
creepy-crawlies (reptiles, insects, etc.)
|
|
|
|
Day 6: Humans (apparently both sexes at the same time)
|
|
|
|
Day 7: Nothing (the Gods took the first day off anyone ever did)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that there are "days", "evenings", and "mornings" before
|
|
|
|
the Sun was created. Here, the Deity is referred to as "Elohim", which
|
|
|
|
is a plural, thus the literal translation, "the Gods". In this tale,
|
|
|
|
the Gods seem satisfied with what they have done, saying after each
|
|
|
|
step that "it was good".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The second one (Genesis 2), the Yahwist tradition, goes:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Earth and heavens (misty)
|
|
|
|
Adam, the first man (on a desolate Earth)
|
|
|
|
Plants
|
|
|
|
Animals
|
|
|
|
Eve, the first woman (from Adam's rib)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
=============================================================================
|
|
|
|
How orderly were things created?
|
|
|
|
#1: Step-by-step. The only discrepancy is that there is no Sun or Moon
|
|
|
|
or stars on the first three "days".
|
|
|
|
#2: God fixes things up as he goes. The first man is lonely, and is
|
|
|
|
not satisfied with animals. God finally creates a woman for him.
|
|
|
|
(funny thing that an omniscient god would forget things)
|
|
|
|
=============================================================================
|
|
|
|
How satisfied with creation was he?
|
|
|
|
#1: God says "it was good" after each of his labors, and rests on the
|
|
|
|
seventh day, evidently very satisfied.
|
|
|
|
#2: God has to fix up his creation as he goes, and he would certainly
|
|
|
|
not be very satisfied with the disobedience of that primordial couple.
|

|

>The GENEALOGY OF JESUS?
|
|
|
|
In two places in the New Testament the genealogy of Jesus son of Mary (PBUH)
|
|
|
|
is mentioned. Matthew 1:6-16 and Luke 3:23-31. Each gives the ancestors of
|
|
|
|
Joseph the CLAIMED husband of Mary and Step father of Jesus(PBUH). The first
|
|
|
|
one starts from Abraham(verse 2) all the way down to Jesus. The second
|
|
|
|
one from Jesus all the way back to Adam. The only common name to these two
|
|
|
|
lists between David and Jesus is JOSEPH, How can this be true? and also
|
|
|
|
How can Jesus have a genealogy when all Muslims and most Christians believe
|
|
|
|
that Jesus had/has no father.
