There are no Contradictions in the Bible

1. Pharaoh You spend so much time explaining a section of the literature that is pointless for this debate. The question is, When God says we have free will and insists he doesn't violate it, Why does he then violate free will? It matters not if the Pharaoh's heart was hardened for 99 out of 100 scenarios. The only thing I need for this to be contradictory is for God to have violated free will once. The contradiction remains. 2. Genocide I've read the Bible in its entirety and threw it off when I was eight. Without interpreting things 1. As charitably as possible and 2. With liberal use of imagination you can't shake off how wrong the vast majority of the book is. My point still stands. God has approved genocide or revenge killing. This is not open to interpretation. His law doesn't stipulate that his commandment may be violated even by him. He either needs to change his commandments, In which case he was mistaken upon initial creation, Or his commandments should hold. There is no defense from this. The most basic human lawmakers create laws more clearly than God's. Isn't this evidence for God's absurdity? Can God not be expected to make clear laws when the punishment for violating those laws is so clear? When the majority of people can't even read the book he has put the laws in? Here's some more fun quotes for punishing the sons for the sins of the father, And for not. So many contradictions. I'm only going to post a few here but I assure you there are many, Many more on this topic alone. Romans Beloved, Never avenge yourselves, But leave it to the wrath of God, For it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, Says the Lord. " God should have taken his wrath out without commanding the Israelis to do the killing. Isaiah 14:21 ESV Prepare slaughter for his sons because of the guilt of their fathers, Lest they rise and possess the earth, And fill the face of the world with cities. " Slay the sons for the sins of the father. Exodus The Lord passed before him and proclaimed, "The Lord, The Lord, A God merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, And abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, Keeping steadfast love for thousands, Forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, But who will by no means clear the guilty, Visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children's children, To the third and the fourth generation. " Slay the sons for the sins of the father. Mark And whenever you stand praying, Forgive, If you have anything against anyone, So that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. " God gives you a chance for forgiveness, Unless you're an infant or baby of course. Matthew Then Peter came up and said to him, "Lord, How often will my brother sin against me, And I forgive him? As many as seven times? " Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you seven times, But seventy times seven. Israelis aren't so forgiving of their Amalekite brothers it seems. Is this principle not true simply because it was said later? Did Jesus correct God? Jeremiah You show steadfast love to thousands, But you repay the guilt of fathers to their children after them, O great and mighty God, Whose name is the Lord of hosts, I wonder how many Christians nowadays actually believe the sins of the father belong to the child, The third, And the fourth generations. And yet we still believe in God's morality somehow? 3. Examples of many. (1) The website is deleting my post so I have to remove the Bible citation numbers. . . GE DT God tempts (tests) Abraham and Moses. JG God himself says that he does test (tempt). 1CO Paul says that God controls the extent of our temptations. JA God tests (tempts) no one. Tempt/Test versus Not GE EX NU 1SA 2SA God does change his mind. NU SA JA God does not change his mind. Change his mind, Or no? GE 1CH LK God is omnipotent. Nothing is impossible with (or for) God. JG Although God was with Judah, Together they could not defeat the plainsmen because the latter had iron chariots. Omnipotent or no? GE God decides to "go down" to see what is going on. PR JE HE God is everywhere. He sees everything. Nothing is hidden from his view. Omnipresent or no? Examples of small inconsistencies like these are spread throughout the Bible. There are hundreds. They aren't so interesting to debate, So I'm leaving them here at the end. To conclude, My opponent can't defend God's violation of the free will of humans. He can't defend genocide of babes when the commandments prohibit killing. He says the sins of the father only don't apply to Israelis, But not for anyone else. Strange how morality only applies to some select few humans, But not others, And not to God. I submit he has not answered these contradictions. I've presented a few more that he also cannot dispute, But I do this only because 5 rounds was 3 more than I needed to win this debate, And we may as well keep things interesting despite my opponent's attempt to distract from the point of the contradictions.
