The Bible Contains Inaccuracies

I will say that the arguments that you have brought before me have provided me with an excellent Bible study. Actually, some of these arguments I have seen before and will be happy to elaborate on and explain in order that the truth may be discovered. 1) In Mathew 1:16 and in Luke 3:23 it talks about the father in law of Moses. In the first reference it says that Jacob is Josephs father and in the second text it says that Heli is Josephs father. The explanation is this: Women are never recognized in genealogies, so Joseph, the legal son of Heli(son in law), naturally took the place of Josephs spouse, Mary. So, Jacob is Josephs biological father and Heli is Maries father, Josephs father in law. Since Joseph takes the place of Mary in the genealogy, he is recognized as the son of Heli. 2) The first verse is part of a genealogy. The second verse is the record of what actually happened. The way in which the opposition has interpreted it is not accurate. Its like trying to include the introduction of a book into the actual story. The first reference that was made mention of states the descendants of Noah after the tower of Babel. So, it was correct in that they where divided according to there language. In Genesis 11:1 it says that the whole earth was of one language.(and was split at the tower of Babel.) The genealogy is being used as an introduction(meant to give an overview of the book) of who they will be talking about and what will happen IN THE FUTURE. Chapter 11 is like the body of a essay; the course material, story, narrative, etc. The introduction(genealogy) is telling us of things which will occur(the scrambling of languages)and how the nation has split. So to have said that the languages were divided is a description of what has already happened in chapter 11. Perhaps its clearer if you read it in context to the chapter, or better yet, the book of Genesis. 3) Jethro is the actual father in law of Moses. In the second translation it is actually referring to the brother in law of Moses. The Hebrew translates the word as, "family in law" and because the passage was continually using father in law instead of brother in law, it was translated as father. A simple misinterpretation which has no affect on the actual meaning of the Bible, theology or apologetics. 4) The first reference talks about how the sins of the father will pass to the son, IF NEITHER, son or father, REPENT. However, the second verse clarifies the first by saying that if the son repents he shall not carry the burden of his fathers sins or the sins of generations past. Another verse read out of context. 5) The dates from these two passages may seem messed up. You must know that Israel split and the dating systems of the two new nations where made different. Now there was Israel and Judah(split around 930 B.C) and both used different dating methods. So the books where written to the correct times according to their nations. I actually did a study on these verses and the two texts seem off, but aren't. A half year of the first country was the first year of the second. If you do the math the dates add up and in the end it is totally logical. 6) In the first verse Jesus is talking about uprightness and good works in the sight of others. In the second verse Jesus is warning us, that we may not do that which is good before others just to look good, but instead to do them only unto the Lord for his pleasure and glory. In other words the goal is not to go out and do things to look good, but to go and do good because God has commanded so. Again just some verses which have been read out of context and need some clarifying. I have studied this material for quite a while and its easy to see how everything knits together. People tend to try and make the Bible look bad by attacking the surface material.(or Bible language) However, if you search deep in the Word then you will find that everything is completely logical and that when it all falls into place it is easy to see the wonderful tapestry, woven by a wonderful creator.
