Fatal Bible Flaws

I apologize if some of my answers are kind of brief, you gave me a lot of topics to cover. I want to state first that almost every verse you used is taken way out of context. 1. When the Bible says to fear God (LK 12:5 etc...), it's referring to having reverence for him, not fear as in terror. So there is no contradiction in the statement "no fear in love (1 JN 4:18)". 2. God had already pronounced a death sentence upon Ahab (1 Kings 20:42, 21:19), but had given him opportunity to repent of his wickedness. With this final rejection of God's counsel, God determined to carry out the death sentence. Since Ahab continued to prefer the lies of his false prophets over the truth given by God's prophets, God chose to use the false prophets to carry out His plan. When God asked for volunteers to assist Ahab into attacking Ramoth Gilead and going to his death there (1 Kings 22:20), a spirit (fallen angel/demon) said he would be a lying spirit in the mouth of the prophets. God gave the spirit permission to proceed, and Ahab received the message he desired. God chose to use a lying spirit because Ahab rejected God's rebukes and warnings all through his life and the cup of God's wrath was full. Since God is sovereign over all of creation, He is not restricted in what or whom He can use to accomplish His holy purposes. All of creation is under His authority, and He chooses to use people and spirits, both good and evil, to bring His divine plans to pass and bring glory to Himself. He does as he pleases with the powers of heaven and the peoples of the earth. No one can hold back his hand or say to him: "What have you done?" (Daniel 4:35). In the case of Ahab, God chose to using a lying spirit to accomplish His perfect and righteous plan (Psalm 18:30). The lying spirit will receive its punishment just as Ahab did, and those who repent of their sins will receive forgiveness just like Ahab could have. 3. (Jer 8:8-9) The folly of rejecting the word of the Lord. "How can you say, 'We are wise, And the law of the Lord is with us?' Look, the false pen of the scribe certainly works falsehood. The wise men are ashamed, They are dismayed and taken. Behold, they have rejected the word of the Lord; So what wisdom do they have?" a. We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us: This is what the people of Judah said of themselves. They were so self-deceived that they actually believed they were wise, and that they walked according to the law of the Lord. b. Look, the false pen of the scribe certainly works falsehood: God reminded Judah that not all who study and teach the word of God do so honestly. There are some who use their pen to work falsehood, not truth. c. They have rejected the word of the Lord; so what wisdom do they have? Though they claimed to have both wisdom and Biblical truth, they had neither. In rejecting God's word, they rejected wisdom. They had none. d. When men reject the word of Jehovah, "What manner of wisdom is in them?" The answer is that the manner of such wisdom is, to quote James, "earthly, sensual, devilish" (James 3:13). 4. God did not make the statutes he gave the people up to. They wanted something and were very insistent on getting that thing, so God allowed them what they wanted. 5. Jesus' throne is in the Kingdom of Heaven, not the earth; and he is reigning there now. 6. If you read the next few verses after, Jesus' earthly body is transfigured into his heavenly body before some of the people in that very crowd. "(Matthew 17:1-8) Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves;"and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. "And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. "Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, let us make here three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah. While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!" "And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid. "But Jesus came and touched them and said, "Arise, and do not be afraid." When they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only." And if the transfiguration is not stated in some of the other gospels that only further proves the validity of the bible. In a court case if all the witnesses say the exact same thing it is said to be most likely a conspiracy. However, if the stories vary slightly and some have a little more, and some a little less, it is taken as more valid than the stories matching. 7. This is also basically an analogy for the Lord's power over all of our worldly things. What Jesus says about poisonous drinks, "they drink any deadly thing" (KJV) would seem to also apply to the issue of handling snakes. It is not something we are to go out of our way seeking, but if it does occur, there may be healing power available in Christ. Also non-believing people who are herpetologists handle snakes all the time and survive. Some gang members are forced to drink poison or snake venom in alcohol to get "jumped in" and they survive, so that's not the best argument you could have used. These are real answers to common skeptical questions on the topic of the validity of the bible's words. So please come back with your next argument, and please leave out any ad hominem. Since you wouldn't answer in the comment section, here is the same question; If Christianity were true, would you become a Christian?
