The Bible Contains No Genuine Contradictions of Consequence

Thank you, ReformedArsenal, for such a quick response. You have always challenged my mind and gave me many things to think about. I sincerily hope we can be friends and debate throught the life of our accountson DDO. Anyway, on to the debate. RRC1) My opponent contends that Psalms and Hebrews are talking about two completely different things. Psalms is talking about delighting in G-d while Hebrews is talking about salvation. This explanaton fails because the verse plainly says that G-d does not desire a sacrifice--he hasn't even REQUIRED one!Let's re-examine the verse in Hebrews. Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood tehre is no forgiveness of sins. This verse can't be more clear. Under the law, you can be purified with blood. In fact, that is one of the most basic fundaments of Judaism. Sacrifices WERE a means to be forgiven; however, keep in mind that the reason we no longer do sacrifices is because the temple was destroyed in 70 CE; therefore, there is no place we can do sacrifices. It would be blasphemy and a disregard to G-d if you would sacrifice anywhere. The problem: That raises up a whole NEW Contradiction For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. --Hebrews 10:4 Kee in mind that it wasn't just the phsysical act of the sacrifice; but more of the mental. If your mind was in the wrong place, the whole sacrifice could become WORTHLESS--OR WORSE! RRC2) My opponent laughs at my contradiction that states that Job is talking about death and not reincarnation. Well, the religion of Judaism clearly does teach reicarnation. That's not the point. Let's examine this chapter in the Hebrew language.The word "return" in the Hebrew is the word shuwb. According to the Strong's Dictionary, this is what it means: 1) to return, turn back a) (Qal) 1) to turn back, return a) to turn back b) to return, come or go back c) to return unto, go back, come back d) of dying e) of human relations (fig) f) of spiritual relations (fig) 1) to turn back (from God), apostatise 2) to turn away (of God) 3) to turn back (to God), repent 4) turn back (from evil) g) of inanimate things h) in repetition b) (Polel) 1) to bring back 2) to restore, refresh, repair (fig) 3) to lead away (enticingly) 4) to show turning, apostatise c) (Pual) restored (participle) d) (Hiphil) to cause to return, bring back 1) to bring back, allow to return, put back, draw back, give back, restore, relinquish, give in payment 2) to bring back, refresh, restore 3) to bring back, report to, answer 4) to bring back, make requital, pay (as recompense) 5) to turn back or backward, repel, defeat, repulse, hinder, reject, refuse 6) to turn away (face), turn toward 7) to turn against 8) to bring back to mind 9) to show a turning away 10) to reverse, revoke e) (Hophal) to be returned, be restored, be brought back f) (Pulal) brought back Source: http://www.blueletterbible.org...Therefore, a more accurate translation of this passage is as followed: And he said, "From my mother's womb, I emerged naked, and I will return there naked. The Lord gave and the Lord took; may the name of the Lord be blessed."Source: http://www.harfordjewish.com...However, I must stick with the ESV since that is the version we agreed on. I just wanted to point out that the translation above is most correct. There is another part in the Torah (OT) that may hint to reincarnation. It is Ecclesiastes 1:4A generation goes, and a generation comes, but the earth remains forever.Now, you may be thinking "Were do you get reincarnation out of that!" well, think about it If this would refer to the normal flow of generations, a generation cannot come after the previous generation has gone. Rather this refers to the same soul(s) returning in consecutive lives.Sadly, most of the theology of reincarnation is in the oral Torah and not the written Torah.RRC3) I great am sorry to my opponent. I quite do not understand your point. Can you please give me a better understanding of your rebuttal? Also, if needed I will drop this one since I added a new one in this round. What would you say is better?Thanks again and good luck!
