The Bible is an Inconsistent Document

Observers will note that most, if not all, of the fight has gone out of my opponent. The debate is whether or not the Bible is inconsistent WITH ITSELF.. He has all but abandoned this proposition for ever more distant shores.. Hares: they never chewed their cud but they once swam in the sea and dragged themselves onto land right? micro Evolution is NOT macro. Pi is 3: Where? Horses: Nothing to do with mating or 'species'. They are one kind. Flood: the Atlantic ocean (as it is now) was created by the flood.. cubits were MUCH bigger then because people (like Noah) were giants. The water receded to where it is now. ALSO if you do that most elementary of science experiments, namely take some soil and drop it in a jar of water, shake vigorously and allow to settle over night, we observe that as the different particles settle at different speeds (chalk, granite etc) it creates layers. This is exactly what we observe of the post flood geology. Today's godless 'scientists' will tell you that those layers were created over millions and(yaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnn......) millions of years EVEN THOUGH petrified trees are found running through the layers.. sometimes whole forests of them. Soldiers: "almost certainly" oops! DNA: again, micro evolution. Sacrifices: Noah was a pretty smart guy (God thought so!) so I'm guessing he kept the animals that were to be sacrificed in a cage or holding pen. Snake: This question has revealed SO MUCH about your (and non believers in general) two dimensional thinking regarding our heavenly Father. ON THE ONE HAND you expect God (or the Holy Spirit -same thing) to mercilessly prod Moses saying "NO! DONT SAY ATE DUST" and then on the other hand you say 'If there's a God why is there so much suffering etc' No loving, responsible parent leaves a child to run wild without correction.. neither do they attempt to control everything they do and say. A loving parent guides, so that, eventually the child can 'stand on it's own two feet.' Exactly the same with our heavenly Father. He wants us to 'get it' ourselves. layer of water: "Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were ABOVE the firmament; and it was so. " Genesis 1:7 NKJV The Bible's consistent if nothing else! lifespan: 'All things were made through Christ' so there is no 'before' religion, organised or not. Judas: At least we are back to comparing the Bible with itself! Again, a simple figure of speech.. Judas' blood money bought the field.. Or do we say that when an elderly relative leaves us an inheritance that actually the lawyer left us the money? same thing. Asunder means 'apart'.. burst apart sounds much more like the obvious, likely explanation. I wonder what the ratio is between suicides by hanging vs suicides by 'slashing their own abdomen.' throughout history I mean? Righteousness: heavenly rewards for works have NOTHING to do with righteousness.. a fact that many Christians have not grasped. It's the difference between 'getting in' and 'what you get when you get there'. LAW: I'm sorry my friend but it is you who do not understand. God knew right from the start that the Law could not be kept.. That is the purpose of the Law, to expose sin, to show the utter hopelessness of our situation. How did the thousands of years of the law and Judaic culture end? by killing God for blasphemy.. Read Romans 7&8 for Paul's awesome illumination of this difficult subject. JUDEMENT: No, not 'you may not' judge God, You CANNOT begin to. My opponent has failed to show conclusively that the Bible is any way inconsistent with itself. Instead he has relied increasingly on emotional responses rather than critical thought.
