No, the Bible is just a compilation of stories, it maynot be truth....stories such as the genesis is not the truth!

Someone told me that after reading the bible from cover to cover, he almost became an ATHEIST! His reason? The bible is full of contradictions!

lumang tugtugin naman na bro. sauna raman ko nakadungog ana. ang imo jud mga statements puro contradiction.

niingon ka "heaven as a place do not exist. but a state of being". taod taod dayon kadtong gi cross-examine taka niingon ka "magkita rata didto". unsaon kaha nato pagkita noh kung walay lugar nga heaven?

tsk tsk tsk!

dedicated ni bro sa kadtong imong naka istorya:


Mar 4:11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

Mar 4:12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.

kaluoy sa imong ka istorya...

basin wala to kasabot sa iyang gbasa bro...

wala jud to nakasabot bro klaro kaayo...

full of contradictions daw ang bible pero usa sa iyang mga source. ngano kaha nigamit man siya ug source nga puro contradictions?

tsk tsk tsk!

well this is what he found out man kuno if I was not mistaken. Believers treat the Bible as if it were perfect and without flaws, infallible and error-free. The truth, is that the Bible has lots of errors, mistakes, and contradictions. That's only to be expected in a set of texts written and collected over several thousand years. In any other collection, errors and contradictions would be unremarkable. Because it's the Bible, this generates no end of debate.

Well for me he has a point. No wonder there are endless debates and millions of interpretations from different groups.

Maybe my friend has a sufficient reason why he almost became an atheist. I'm just happy for him that he still believes in GOD! In fact he has a book "A LIST OF BIBLICAL CONTRADICTIONS" by: Jim Meritt

Introduction to Contradictions

The Bible is riddled with repetitions and contradictions, things that the Bible bangers would be quick to point out in anything that they want to criticize. For instance, Genesis 1 and 2 disagree about the order in which things are created, and how satisfied God is about the results of his labors. The flood story is really two interwoven stories that contradict each other on how many of each kind of animal are to be brought into the Ark--is it one pair each or seven pairs each of the "clean" ones? The Gospel of John disagrees with the other three Gospels on the activities of Jesus Christ (how long had he stayed in Jerusalem--a couple of days or a whole year?) and all four Gospels contradict each other on the details of Jesus Christ's last moments and resurrection. The Gospels of Matthew and Luke contradict each other on the genealogy of Jesus Christ's father; though both agree that Joseph was not his real father. Repetitions and contradictions are understandable for a hodgepodge collection of documents, but not for some carefully constructed treatise, reflecting a well-thought-out plan.
Of the various methods I've seen to "explain" these:
1. "That is to be taken metaphorically." In other words, what is written is not what is meant. I find this entertaining, especially for those who decide what ISN'T to be taken as other than the absolute WORD OF GOD--which just happens to agree with the particular thing they happen to want...
2. "There was more there than...." This is used when one verse says "there was a" and another says "there was b," so they decide there was "a" AND "b"--which is said nowhere. This makes them happy, since it doesn't say there WASN'T "a+b." But it doesn't say there was "a+b+little green martians." This is often the same crowd that insists theirs is the ONLY possible interpretation (i.e., only "a") and the only way. I find it entertaining they they don't mind adding to verses.
3. "It has to be understood in context." I find this amusing because it comes from the same crowd that likes to push likewise extracted verses that support their particular view. Often it is just one of the verses in the contradictory set which is supposed to be taken as THE TRUTH when, if you add more to it, it suddenly becomes "out of context." How many of you have gotten JUST John 3:16 (taken out of all context) thrown at you?
4. "There was just a copying/writing error." This is sometimes called a "transcription error," as in where one number was meant and an incorrect one was copied down. Or what was "quoted" wasn't really what was said, but just what the author thought was said. And that's right--I'm not disagreeing with events, I'm disagreeing with what is WRITTEN. Which is apparently agreed that it is incorrect. This is an amusing misdirection to the problem that the Bible itself is wrong.
5. "That is a miracle." Naturally. That is why it is stated as fact.
6. "God works in mysterious ways." A useful dodge when the speaker doesn't understand the conflict between what the Bible SAYS and what they WISH it said.

yes, It can generate debate but on the other side it can help people to compare and understand truth.
