The Bible is an Inconsistent Document (II)

Mat 28:19 Act 2:38 - >First, omission is not an argument. It is not a direct contradiction to omit information. Secondly, Jesus Christ, the Father and the Holy Spirit are One Trinitarian Entity and so are interchangeable: http://www.debate.org... Joh 3:22 Joh 4:2 >As you are referencing the same book of the Bible and the same writer it is obvious that the latter statement is a clarification rather than a contradiction. Obviously John would have edited himself had he contradicted himself. Mar 16:16 Mat 12:37 >If you believe in Jesus Christ then not only would you follow His command to be baptized (Matt28:19) But you would also follow His constant commands to control your speech. There is no contradiction here, only different pieces of the doctrine. Act 26:23 - 1 Kin 17:22 >That child (and Lazarus and a few others) although raised from the dead all died AGAIN. Jesus Christ is the first to be raised to ETERNAL Life. 1 Kin 8:46 1 Joh 3:6 >As every man has to choose to abide in Christ it follows that he has at some point sinned. 1John3:6 means no one continues to sin. Jam 1:13 Gen 22:1 >God did not tempt Abraham in any real sense as He did not allow him (and NEVER intended to allow him) to kill the boy. The word 'tempt' is simply being used in a different context. Deu 24:16 Deu 5:9 >The first scripture refers to believers, the second to non-believers. 2 Sam 24:9 1 Chr 21:5 >'fit for military service' and 'capable of wielding' a sword' are not the same thing. ACT 1:18: MAT 27:5-7: >His bloated body 'burst asunder' when it was eventually cut down from the tree. MAT 27:46,50: LUK 23:46: JOH 19:30: >He said ALL these things. Different witnesses remembered different parts. Omission is NOT an argument. Lev 25:1, 17 Gen 25:27 Lev 25:44 >Again, you are confusing the relationships between believers and other believers (Lev25:17) and between believers and non-believers.(Gen25::27 and Lev25:44) 2 Pet 2:7-8 Gen 19:8 >Offering your daughters to predatory Sodomites: A clever solution in an impossible situation. Psa 19:7 Heb 8:7-8 >The Law IS perfect but failed with imperfect men. For example with the Pharisees, who ended up manipulating the Law to elevate themselves. *Rom8:3-For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh. Psa 103:8 Exo 34:6 Jer 13:14 Lam 3:43b 1 Sam 15:2 1 Sam 6:19 >Again, the simple difference between those people in a covenant with God and those who are not. It's the different between your own offspring breaking the garage window (repayment by pocket money?) and the neighborhood 'trouble maker breaking it, (parents, police etc) your reaction will be quite different. Heb 13:20a 2 The 3:16 Rom 15:33 Exo 15:3 Psa 18:34 Psa 144:1 >Quite simply He is both. That is not a contradiction by any means. I am sometimes angry and sometimes calm.. so are you, we are made in His image. GE 6:4 FACT - There is no evidence to support this. >Here JCMT has suddenly switched from talking about supposed inconsistencies within the Bible (what this debate is actually about) to an omission argument of the physical evidence for giants. Gen 7:19 FACT - This never occurred, although there is evidence that the Middle East flooded at one point in time. >'Fact' followed by an opinion! Can we get back to the Bible being inconsistent with itself perhaps? Not inconsistent with your unverifiable opinion? GEN 7:2 GEN 7:8 GEN 7:9 FACT - The ark was far too small to hold all the animals, and two of each does not constitute a viable genetic population, especially considering all the animal sacrifices Noah performed after the ark landed. >Again, you are comparing a Biblical account not with itself but with your opinion. LEV 11:6 FACT - Hares and rabbits do not chew their cud. >They practice something called Cecotrophy which would make them an unclean animal in exactly the same way. For God to expect the writers of the Old testament to understand or even care about the difference would be stretching the idea of an inconsistency too far. http://en.wikipedia.org... GEN 3:14 FACT - Serpents do not eat dirt. >Here the Bible is speaking figuratively. To eat dirt or dust means to be brought down to earth or to be humiliated. Let us compare this scripture with some OTHER scripture: *MIC 7:17-They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the LORD our God, and shall fear because of thee. And *ISAI 49:23 And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me. And *PSA 72:9 They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust. GE 1:29 FACT - This would include several poisonous plants such as hemlock & nightshade that are NOT food. >GEN 1:29 is before 'the fall'.. The Bible clearly teaches that the land and its plants were cursed after Adam sinned: *GEN 317-18 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; Gen 7:6 FACT - Humans rarely live past 100, and none have ever lived to 600. >Again, my opponent has switched from comparing the Bible with itself to comparing it with his own, or popular, opinion. The Bible clearly teaches that most humans lived to be around 900 years in the first few generations: *GEN 5 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; ï¿½2Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. ï¿½3And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth: ï¿½4And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters: ï¿½5And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died. ï¿½6And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos: ï¿½7And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters: ï¿½8And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died. ï¿½9And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan: ï¿½10And Enos lived after he begat Cainan eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters: ï¿½11And all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years: and he died. ï¿½12And Cainan lived seventy years and begat Mahalaleel: ï¿½13And Cainan lived after he begat Mahalaleel eight hundred and forty years, and begat sons and daughters: ï¿½14And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years: and he died. ï¿½15And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years, and begat Jared: ï¿½16And Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters: ï¿½17And all the days of Mahalaleel were eight hundred ninety and five years: and he died. ETC ETC! DAT, you have you work cut out for you. >On the contrary, I have easily answered each supposed inconsistency. My opponent relies on sheer volume rather than logical arguments. My opponent appears not to understand the difference between comparing the Bible with itself and with comparing it with his own opinion or conjecture. >>>NEGATED>>>
