The King James Bible is without contradiction.

I'm not going to keep repeating the same thing. I have completed my part and have met all the requirements by supplying a reasonable explanation. Thus it can not be said it contradicts without a reasonable answer. Otherwise, the debate becomes pointless and becomes a matter of what my opponent believes it to say as supposed to what it actually intends to say. Maybe my opponent is the 1 who wants no part of the truth... Somehow my opponent doesn't even grasp the concept that each Gospel has different accounts and viewpoints but that they make up a whole story. This was probably not a debate that he should've taken in that case. I assumed that it was common knowledge that the Bible is 1 book as a whole but is made up of many smaller books which all go together and are MEANT to be intertwined. Next time, it would be wise stick to what he knows and not what he claims to know, or what he figured as a kid. Really it's apparent that no matter what I respond with, it is followed up with some excuse as to why it isn't valid when it clearly is. Also with the whining about a comment asking me to wait, which I didn't even see before I did my round... I'm glad I didn't see it though from the attitude I'm getting and anyway it looks as though he found time to make more than 1 argument and it didn't take very long so... "It will be fun to see Pro do mental backflips to make this work. When it very clearly does not." Yeah I've heard that twice already... Wow, this is going to turn out to be really easy... I see my opponent is also not aware that each text has a context that it is in. It's easy to twist up somebody's words when you take it out of context. I think everyone knows that already though. Another important factor to point out is that my opponent doesn't seem to be aware of the fact that Jesus spoke in parables A LOT. Again, I thought this was common knowledge. Matthew 5:38-39 vs Luke 19:27 In Matthew we see a direct order from Jesus as to how we should operate here on earth. We shouldn't seek retribution but rather show love and forgiveness. This is a common theme, to love your enemies and whatnot. In Luke we simply see a parable which starts earlier in the chapter (verse 11) and is "stealthily" cut down to 1 single verse which gives no insight whatsoever as to what is going on. It is a parable and it merely speaks of cutting down and punishing the rebellious and wicked on judgement. I've never ever even seen somebody imply that this is some kind of order Jesus is giving for somebody else to carry out at that time. What I have explained it as is not only what it actually is but it coincides with many other parables which have the same or similar message as that one (since every single time I explain these things I'm met with outlandish excuses). Matthew 6:7-8 vs 1 Thessalonians 5:17-18 So it gets even easier? OK... They are BOTH correct and say different important messages. In Matthew it says not to use vain repetitions as the heathen do. In other words, not to do little chants like heathen or also not to keep repeating the same words or prayer over and over. To say something once per prayer is enough. So, it is unbiblical for Catholics to do penance and repeat Our Father or Hail Mary over and over because that falls into the category of much speaking with repetitions in vain. They will not be heard, especially if they're waiting on Mary to help... but that's a different topic. This passage is not implying or commanding to not pray at all or on rare occasion, it simply says don't keep repeating yourself over and over and expect to be heard because of your much speaking. In Thessalonians it is simply telling us to pray often and remember to give thanks. That's it. Nobody then or now ever thought that it meant to never stop praying... I mean if that were the case there would be no Gospel or Christianity or anything because the only members would be too busy praying non stop to be able to do anything else ever. "So, does God already know what you will pray?" Yes. "Eliminating the need for long prayer?" No, it's up to you how long you want to pray but don't expect to be heard or find favor just because you repeated the same thing over and over like a heathen. "Or should one keep going and going? Energizer bunny style, as God really needs all that thanks?" I'm assuming that's not a serious question. "Maybe he likes the sound of our voices?" Maybe... does it matter? "Maybe he has trouble staying consistent..." Maybe you'll end up being punished for YOUR much speaking. I'll leave that between you 2 though. "Gospel of Peter? Gospel of Thomas?" I see you want to get off topic and speak of uninspired books that aren't a part of the KJV so they are completely irrelevant to this debate. If you want to talk about uninspired books and expect somebody to defend them then maybe you should try making a new debate with that and see if somebody is dumb enough to take it. "Pro does not have a honest approach to the bible." Actually, I'm the only one doing that so far. Maybe if you had read the Bible and tried to learn something instead of squandering your time trying to find errors that aren't there you might have learned something of value AND been saved. Fortunately for me though, whether you scoff at it or not it doesn't change my debate outcome or my salvation. God bless.
