    Are there contradictions in the Bible?

    I am sorry, but I have not interpreted anything. Please see my post. I have just stated the two conflicting verses. It is obvious that there is some problem and you have tried interpreting it to show that there is no problem. "But for the sake of argument", I agree with you. It might have been...

    Are there contradictions in the Bible?

    Exodus 33:20: "And he said, Thou canst not see my face; for there shall no man see me and live." Genesis 32:30: "For I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved." When one statement says - "cannot see face" and the other says "saw face", there is no temporary or permanent forms...

    Are there contradictions in the Bible?

    Phew !!! I didn't expect so many responses overnight... This thread could be the most popular one, if I start listing down the contradictions one by one and then leave it for dissection. Genesis 32:30: "For I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved." Now, please explain - what...

    Are there contradictions in the Bible?

    Of course there are contradictions.... A) Genesis 26:2 "And the LORD appeared unto him, and said" Exodus 33:11: "And the Lord spake to moses face to face, as a man speaketh to his friend." contradicts John 1:18: "No man hath seen God at any time." B) Romans 5:12 Adam alone was responsible...

    The Bible is historical and scientific

    Ok! Sorry!!! As a non-Christian, I am amazed at how people are so enamoured by the Bible in spite of lot of shortcomings.... I shall start a separate thread on crictical evaluation of Bible....

    The Bible is historical and scientific

    Bible and scientific? I quite do not agree to that... Book of Leveticus, Ch. No.14, Verse No.49 to 53 - it gives a novel way for disinfecting a house from plague of leprosy. It says that… ‘Take two birds, kill one bird, take wood, scale it - and the other living bird, dip it in water… and...

    the meaning of freedom in all religions

    I would like to know what is the “freedom” that George Bush and co. keeps proclaiming. There is no complete freedom anywhere. I do not have freedom to drive my car at 150mph on a normal road. And nor do the Americans. I cannot go and sleep in my neighbour’s home without his permission. And an...

    Why is Jesus called son of God?

    You mean to say that God wanted to create doubts in the minds of people. But the Bible says "...God is not the author of confusion..." Corinthians 14:33

    Why is Jesus called son of God?

    For the sake of continuing the debate, I agree that a person being prophet and God at the same time is not a contradiction. In my previous post, I have mentioned instances where Jesus says that he is a prophet. And here is a verses where he says he is not God. “Why do you call me good? No one...

    Why is Jesus called son of God?

    Yes, it is true I am being selective. I find verses supporting both views (which are quite contradictory). On one view, there is not much doubt. It is something, which is presented as the ‘only’ view of the Bible. That is the reason, I am quoting the other view. No, a skeptic wouldn’t be...

    Why is Jesus called son of God?

    That in my sight is being selective. What make us think that only in the case of Jesus it is not figurative; and in all other cases it is figurative? How is a person reading the Bible for the first time without knowing about the Trinity come to that conclusion? According to the Bible, He was a...

    Why is Jesus called son of God?

    I would like to know why only Jesus is called son of God. Jacob is God's son and firstborn: "Israel is my son, even my firstborn" Exodus 4:22. Solomon is God's son "He shall build an house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever. I will be his father, and he shall...
