Christianity is a false Religion

Hello, Brian! I thank you for accepting this debate. It is my burden of proof to show any contradictions, failed prophecies or any other thing that I feel would be a proof that the Bible is wrong.C1: Contradictions prove the Bible is false. The Bible is supposedly inspired by God. The God of the Bible cannot lie. Therefore, there cannot be any contradictions (from p2). If there are any contradictions, the God of the Bible would be a liar or non-existant. There are contradictions in the Bible. Therefore, the Biblical God does not exist. Premises 5 is where I wish to focus my attention. You may ask, "Where are the contradictions?" I am here to show you.Contradiction 1: Who killed Saul? A. Saul committed suicide. “Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it. So Saul died.” (1 Samuel 31:4-6) “Then said Saul to his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his amourrbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. So Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.” (1 Chronicles 10:4) B. an Amalekite killed him And he [Saul] said unto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite. He said unto me again, Stand, I pray thee, upon me, and slay me. So I stood upon him, and slew him. (2 Samuel 1:8-10) *Note: I have not been able to find where the Amalekite was lying. It is important to note that the Amalekite is talking to David in this verse. C. The Philistines “The Philistines had slain Saul.” (2 Samuel 21:12) D. God did! “So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it; And enquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.” (1 Chronicles 10:14) What we see is a case of 4 people killing Saul! Please tell me, who killed Saul?Contradiction 2: Who was Joseph's father? A. Jacob "And Jacob was the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, whom was born of Jesus, who is called Christ." (Matthew 1:16) B. Heli "Jesus, when he began his ministry, was about 30 years of age, being (as it was supposed), the son of Joseph, the son of Heli" (Luke 3:23) I ask again, who was Joseph's father/Jesus' grandfather?Contradiction 3: How did Judas die?A. He hung himself Matthew 27:3-5 When Judas, his betrayer, saw that he was condemned, he repented and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders, saying, "I have sinned in betraying innocent blood." They said, "What is that to us? See to it yourself." And throwing down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed; and he went and hanged himself. B. He fell headlong and his bowles gushed out. Acts 1:18 Now this man [Judas] bought a field with the reward of his wickedness; and falling headlong he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out. Contention 2: Failed Prophecies prove the Bible is false and so is ChristianityFailed prophecy 1: Ezekial and Tyre Ezekiel 26:7-14For thus says the Lord: "Behold I will bring upon Tyre from the north Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, king of kings, with horses and chariots, and with horsemen and a hosts of many soldiers. He will slay with the sword your daughters on the mainland; he will set up a seige wall against you. He will direct the shock of his battering rams against your walls, and with his axes he will break down your towers...With the hoofs os his horses he will trample all your streets; he will slay your people with the sword and your mighty pillar will fall to the ground...they will break down your walls and destroy your pleasant houses... I will make you a bare rock...you shall never be rebuilt, for I have spoken," says the Lord God. The passage is clearly stating that Nebuchadrezzar will destroy Tyre. However, that never happened. As history tells us, after a sieg of 13 years, Nebuchadrezzar lifted his sieg on Tyre and had to arrive at a compramised agreement [1]. Also, Tyre was destroyed by Alexander the Great and, unlike the prophecy, Tyre was rebuilt. [2]| Conclusion |I have shown 3 contradictions and 1 failed prophecy. I can give more, but to be fair to my opponent I will end this here. Christianity is a false religion. Resolutuion affirmed. | Sources |1. Asimov, Guide to the Bible: p587-5882.
