The Bible contains contradictions

As my opponent stated that I may bring up more contradictions, I shall do that if I feel that is necessary. I disagree on all levels for the KJV. . .. however I would not recommend it if he legitimately wants to understand what the Bible is trying to say. He may of course use KJV, I simply don't recommend it and will be using different translations. I respect my opponent's decision and will allow him to use a different translation. In Luke 14:26, Jesus is drawing a comparison of importance by exaggerating a relationship. Jesus is merely making his point so that people will understand how highly one should love Jesus. In the Bible, the greatest commandments are to love God with all of your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and then to love your neighbor as yourself. So Jesus is by no means telling people to hate anyone. He is saying that your love for me should be so great in comparison for your love for your family, that it is on the scale seems as though it is hate compared to Christ. He is saying that by comparison to Him, you must love Him more than all else. In 1 John 3:15, John is writing to the church about abiding in the love of Christ. In fact, in 1 John, the word "abide" occurs 16 times in the NASB and the apostle continually refers to abiding in Christ (1 John 2:4,24,28;3:6,24, etc. ). For Christians, this means that we must have a love for Christ that far exceeds the love we have for anyone else. He should reign supreme in our hearts. In a nutshell, my opponent is arguing that Jesus is drawing a comparison of importance, in other words, it is a hyperbole. However, as I pointed out, just because you love A more than B does not mean you have to hate B. I also have pointed out that the Greek word is the same exact thing in both context. 1 John is indeed stating that the church should abide in the love of Christ. However, we also see that he stated that "If you hate your brother, you have murdered him in your own heart" (paraphrased. )We see that there is a discripincy here. The Greek language was very discriptive. Furthermore, if that is to be taken as a hyperbole (exadduration) then what else is to be taken as a hyperbole? New ContradictionsMy opponent has allowed me to give more contradictions than what I listed. I shall take advantage of my opponent's seemingly kind (but possibly fatal) offer. New Contradiction 1: Shall we be punnished for another's sin? A. NoThe fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin. Deuteronomy 14:26In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge. But every one shall die for his own iniquity. Jeremiah 13:29-30B. YesI the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation. Duteronomy 5:9A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD. Duteronomy 32:2I shall point out that the word bastard in the Duteronomy 32:2 means the following 1) bastard, child of incest, illegitimate child a) bastard b) mixed population (fig. ) c) born of a Jewish father and a heathen mother or visa versa . http://www.blueletterbible.org... We clearly see a discripincy here. Several verses are condoning the fact that children should be punished for their parent's iniquities, and otehr verses clearly condemn it. New contradiction 2: Did Jesus know everything? A. YesLord, thou knowest all things. John 21:17 B. NoBut of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. -Mark 13:32 I shall point out that the Bible clearly says that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and to-day, and forever. In otherwords, Jesus is unchangeable. I ask my opponent, Jesus admitts that he does not know when the return of him will be. Only the Father does. So how can he be God? Let me offer you this syllogism1. God knows everything2. Jesus does not know when his return is3. Therefore, Jesus does not know everything4. Therefore, Jesus is not GodBack to you, con. For these reasons I urge a vote for ConIn addition, we must wait till round 5 to state why vote for you. (terms in round 1)Not too big of a deal. I just wanted to point that out :)
