Only "fools" do not believe in God.

Your bible translation including all other bible translations are a copy of the original bible manuscript. If you really want to know if the bible contradicts itself or not ,get the original scroll then read those verses and compare them. If they say different things, you draw your own conclusions. I reiterate, for a book to be translated over and over again into so many languages there will be scribal variations. But none are of such scope and weight as to cast doubt on the inspiration and authority of the Bible as a whole.The scribal variations were made by bible translators not the bible writers. Question-God killed 70,000 people in a country over something as trivial as David taking a census Answer-To you, the census was trivial because you are not looking at the bigger picture. The nation of Israel was in a covenant relationship with God. During their exodus from Egypt they made an agreement with God cementing the covenant between God and them. He told them the consequences of disobeying his laws and the blessings of obeying his laws. They unanimously agreed. Exodus19:5-8 "Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him.And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD." So, at God's command the first registration took place during the encampment at Sinai in the second month of the second year following the Exodus from Egypt. Exodus30:11,12-"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto the LORD, when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among them, when thou numberest them." A second recorded registration is the one taken on the Plains of Moab, Number26:1,2" the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying, Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, from twenty years old and upward, throughout their fathers' house, all that are able to go to war in Israel." A registration taken toward the end of King David's reign is the only registration that brought calamity. Why? 1)God did not ask David to register the people. 2)Satan,an enemy of God , was the one who incited King David to count the people. 1Chronicles21:1"And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel." 3)King David's was putting pride and trust in the numbers of his army and the people, showing a lack of full reliance on God. Proverbs3:5-"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding." Remember, God gave King David three choices and King David choose three days of pestilence. Hebrews 3:4-"For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God." Romans1:19-22"Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools" God exist. He created us with the intention that we would know him. He has surrounded us with evidence of himself and he keeps the question of his existence squarely before us. The fine-tuned universe ultimately shows that the laws and principles of nature are fine-tuned not only for the existence of life but for the existence of human life.Everything which comes into existence is caused to exist by something else. It has been noted that man by nature has an instinctive need to worship. Those who hold the position of agnostics or atheists find something lacking in their lives if they sincerely consider their position closely. There is strong evidence that man was originally created with the inherent inclination to acknowledge God's existence.In order to satisfy man's quest to know about Him, God provided man with an inspired record about Himself. Some do not want to be accountable to God. They want to set their own standards for living. They invent arguments in an attempt to show that God does not exist. Their arguments often amount to no more than self-deception.Regardless, a person's preferring to believe that God does not exist obviously does not cause God to disappear. He remains,God still exist.
