The Bible contradicts itself.

Thank you for responding back; I was afraid of another forfeit as I have been through so many lately."I assume that Pro means that the contradictions are meaningful. That they render the text meaningless."No, I do not. It may be my fault, but I did state the definition of contradiction. Even if it is a microscopic contradiction, it is still a contradiction. I would not go as far to say that the contradictions that I state render the Bible useless."I must point out that the Bible is not a philosophical document. It is not a series of syllogisms. It is an historical document."That does nothing to help your argument. I don't care if it is a poem, a fairy tale, a historical document, or even a proved book, a contradiction is a contradiction. "When a police officer takes witness statements to an accident; the witnesses will almost certainly diverge from one another. One might say they saw a green car and another might say they saw a blue car. "This is a minor contradiction. I pointed out three major contradictions. I would put it like this:Witness one: I saw the blue car with an American driver going at about 58 miles an hour collide into a yellow car.Witness two: I saw the orange car with an African-American driver going at about 53 miles an hour collide into a blue car with an Asian driver. That would be the magnitude of the biggest contradiction in the Bible. It may be just an opinion, but it is accurate. The rest of this part of the argument is about a crime. We are not talking about a crime, but rather about a document found Holy to many. And I didn't quite get the meaning of your second argument; please rephrase it."The issue about 500,000 and 470,000 is something you see even today in modern history books. One historian rounds up and the other historian is precise."True. But how would you explain the 800,000 and the 1,100,000 difference I stated? 500,000 and 470,000 is a common mistake, but 300 thousand isn't. That is pure contradictory. And since the Bible is supposed to be the word of the Lord, it just makes it worse."Unbelievers in the Bible refuse to grant it the same latitude they grant any other historical document or even a daily newspaper."I would like to call a hit on the non-believers. I see that as an insult, even if it wasn't meant to be. That is just your opinion. I would also like to state that you did not use any links to prove any of your arguments.Now, it is time for more contradictions.John 1:18: No man hath seen God at any time.Genesis 32:30 records Jacob as saying: “For I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.”How can you explain that? ANY time means past, present, OR FUTURE. That said, only one can be right. Neither can be right if both are right, thus earning them the award 'contradiction.' [1] If you want, I can give you more times that God appeared before someone, in His own presence. Just ask for it.Five passages claim that God has not been seen.Six passages claim that God HAS been seen.And now we see a multiple choice contradiction.Who was at the Empty Tomb? [2] A. MAT 28:1 "In the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre." B. MAR 16:1 "And when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him." C. JOH 20:1 "The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre." D. All of the AboveIt's D, even though, logically, it can't be. This is also said in the video I posted in the second round of the debate. So to figure out if this is a contradiction, we need to see if it:a) Opposes one or another? √b) Combination of statements or ideas? √Contradiction.Where did Moses receive the Ten Commandments? [3]According to six verses of the bible (Exodus 31:18, Exodus 34:4, Exodus 34:32, Leviticus 26:46, Leviticus 27:34, and Nehemiah 9:13) state that Moses received the Ten Commandments upon Mount Sinai. While three verses of the Bible (Kings 8:9, Malachi 4:4, and Chronicles 5:10) state that he received them upon Mount Horeb. So where did he receive them? On only one of those mountains. Since they both cant be true if one is true, it is a contradiction.Just click on the link I provided in the second round to see all of the Bible's contradictions.Onto you![1] http://carm.org...[2] http://www.infidels.org...[3] http://skepticsannotatedbible.com...
