In fact there is not one real contradiction in scripture.

Bikers entireargument relies on I don’t see it that way so it must not be true. The bible isindeed in conflict with itself even if the bible claims otherwise. Biker maybelieve his personal interpretation is not in conflict with the bible, but hecannot demonstrate it. Biker knows he is in conflict with the reaming 37999Christian denominations, but since he is right and they are wrong there is noconflict?????? In fact there is not one real contradiction in scripture“But yes, there are errors.” Contradiction: Something illogical: something that hasaspects that are illogical, or inconsistent with each other. Opposing element: a statement, or the making of a statement,that opposes or disagrees with somebody or something Example: Jesus is god vs. Jesus is man. Error: Wrong belief: a belief or opinion that is contrary tofact or to established doctrine. The state or fact of being a mistake, or ofbeing inappropriate or unacceptable. A mathematical variation between the truevalue of a mathematical quantity and a calculated or measured value. Example: JOH 10:30 I and my Father are one. JOH 14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, andcome again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I gounto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. 1+1= less than one? Or more than one? Example: Who was atthe Empty Tomb? Is it: MAT 28:1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawntoward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to seethe sepulchre. MAR 16:1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, andMary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they mightcome and anoint him. JOH 20:1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdaleneearly, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken awayfrom the sepulchre. 1+2= Who was narrating this story, who was really there?This sounds more like a “yeah what he said” meant to convince those being tolda story than an eyewitness account. Biker posts: Jesus himself warned us that would happen whenHe said…. Sorry Biker, but Jesus never said a thing as all accounts ofJesus is hearsay. The contradiction you were taught to claim Jesus had claimedanything is dishonest as Jesus and the apostles never published and because theauthors of scripture are ALL non-contemporaries of Jesus and apostles, youcannot honestly claim Jesus told us anything. http://www.infidels.org... Biker posts: Some would class me as an apologetic. I do notsee myself as such I see nothing to apologise for in the errors andmisunderstandings of others. I am simply sticking up for truth against allelse. Sorry Biker, you don’t have the authority, the permission oreven the ability to do so. Apologies, errors and misunderstandings arecontradictions. If the bible had not one real contradiction like you claim thenapologies, errors and misunderstandings and contradictions would not be needed. Biker posts: [It is all around us, in the design of god'screation. after all, you cannot have design without a designer. To say that youcan is a major contradiction. AND Again, an error is just that an error, it isnot a contradiction, it could only be a contradiction if it were not an error.] Sorry Biker, but to believe everything is by design andclaiming there had tyo be an iteligence to that design and then qualify withthe buety of it proves there is a design and therefore a designer is not onlyERROR, it is conflict to everything know by man. Your argument is based in the argument of ignorance as youhave no valid support to believe there is a creator because there is no evidenceof a creator to begin with. Examples provided by http://www.infidels.org... Argumentum ad ignorantiam (Argument from ignorance) Argumentum ad ignorantiam means "argument fromignorance." The fallacy occurs when it's argued that something must betrue, simply because it hasn't been proved false. Or, equivalently, when it isargued that something must be false because it hasn't been proved true. (Note that this isn't the same as assuming something is falseuntil it has been proved true. In law, for example, you're generally assumedinnocent until proven guilty.) Here are a couple of examples: "Of course the Bible is true. Nobody can proveotherwise." "Of course telepathy and other psychic phenomena do notexist. Nobody has shown any proof that they are real." In scientific investigation, if it is known that an eventwould produce certain evidence of its having occurred, the absence of suchevidence can validly be used to infer that the event didn't occur. It does notprove it with certainty, however. For example: "A flood as described in the Bible would require anenormous volume of water to be present on the earth. The earth doesn't have atenth as much water, even if we count that which is frozen into ice at thepoles. Therefore no such flood occurred." It is, of course, possible that some unknown processoccurred to remove the water. Good science would then demand a plausibletestable theory to explain how it vanished. Of course, the history of science is full of logically validbad predictions. In 1893, the Royal Academy of Science were convinced by SirRobert Ball that communication with the planet Mars was a physicalimpossibility, because it would require a flag as large as Ireland, which itwould be impossible to wave. [Fortean Times Number 82.] See also Shifting the Burden of Proof. Biker is not making an argument here, like when he insiststhere are no contradictions in the bible. He makes his claims from ignorancewhich is based in a conditional statement. Conditional statements ask thereader to believe in one fallacy in order to establish another. If A is valid,then A plus B must be true because if A then B. This is also known as beggingthe question with only slight differences. Petitio principii (Begging the question) This fallacy occurs when the premises are at least asquestionable as the conclusion reached. Typically the premises of the argumentimplicitly assume the result which the argument purports to prove, in adisguised form. For example: "The Bible is the word of God. The word of God cannotbe doubted, and the Bible states that the Bible is true. Therefore the Biblemust be true. con"tra"dic"tion [kon-truh-dik-shuhn] noun 1. the actof contradicting; gainsaying or opposition. (A) I am god, no I am not….. 2. assertion of thecontrary or opposite; denial. (B) Who am I? Who do you say I am? 3. a statement orproposition that contradicts or denies another or itself and is logicallyincongruous. (C) Son of god, son of man, I came to save, I came todestroy. 4. direct oppositionbetween things compared; inconsistency. (D) I came to be put to death, I caused myself to be put todeath….or suicide. 5. a contradictoryact, fact, etc. (E) Jesus had no contemporaries that wrote about him.Everything that was written was done so in a hearsay fashion even thoughChristians will almost always claim that popular doctrine claims otherwise. (Courtesy ofdictionary.reference.com and the yougothehit666) Biker, I use to belong too many of the Christiandenominations you see as contradiction. I agree they are in contradiction tothemselves and to you. But I also understand that you have only convinced yorselfwhat makes up a contradiction. The bible storyline contradicts itself, doctrinecontradicts itself, the bible contradicts itself, the anonymous apostlescontradict themselves and most importantly and most likely the least popularamongst Christians is that the bible contradicts common sense. Bikers parting thought: “Because of the rules of justice Hecan only interfere so far unless people turn to Him for help, as He begs themto do.” 666 responds: Really, because a god that begs for anythinghe didn’t already create is no god…..and this is the greatest biblecontradiction of all.
