The bible is full of shit! (New Testament Contradiction Edition)

1) How many generations were there between Abraham to David?
Matthew 1:17 lists fourteen generations. Matthew 1:2 lists thirteen generations.

This from someone who can't defend or prove his own beliefs, and bases his accusations, on other peoples opinions.

The question is why are there 41 contradictions in the New Testament?

You just keep repeating that it is 'For the Wise only' to understand the astrological implications of it or some nonsense.

Again, this is a non-answer. Try again.

If the bible is the infallible word of 'God' & God is perfect, then why are there so many mistakes in it? Is this an admission that God is not perfect?

Here's a compilation of New Testament contradictions:

Well, I for one found nothing but "blind adherence to an illogical dogma" in your original post. A little historical research goes a long way, and you've got a long way to go.

#2 Jesus did teach this. Paul wasn't making a direct quote, he was referrencing general teachings.

Quite rigidly closed minded and intolerant, bigot.

Holy Diver is clearly a severely disturbed individual, it's probably best to just ignore him. I understand it is annoying when a vile troll keeps announcing he is winning the discussion, but no-one with a functioning brain is fooled, so it doesn't really matter.

You could also try registering here, I believe you can ban nasties who try to derail your threads from posting in them as a registered user.

Most trolls are harmless, but there are a few aggressive and really dedicated ones like Holy Diver, and when one of them target you, it can make any intelligent discussion impossible.

You make absolutely no sense child. You offer no defense of the 'Infallible' word of God when I point out the blatant fallibility.

What historical research do you suggest I do to understand why the bible (Which is supposed to be written under direct guidance from God) is full of errors?

Please enlighten me..

#2 Jesus did teach this. Paul wasn't making a direct quote, he was referrencing general teachings.

Matthew 25:34 “Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 ‘for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 ‘I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’ 37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 ‘When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 ‘Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 “And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’ (NKJV)


Still, concerning the words “it is more blessed to give than to receive” – consider even Matthew 25:41-46, regarding those who do not aid the needy. There the wording is “depart from me, you cursed”, verse 41, in contrast to “come, you blessed of my father” in verse 34.

The bible is not perfect, because it was written by humans who are not perfect. This does not disprove the existence and divinity of Jesus Christ, nor does it disallow or negate the superior intellect and wisdom contained in His teachings. You clearly have an agenda, in that you read the bible with the INTENT to find errors in it, not to gain spiritual enlightenment or divine inspiration from God.

The real question to ask yourself is why are you so determined to tear down, mock, or humiliate Christianity? Your thread says more about your personal ax to grind than it says about the bible. The many good things that Christianity has and continues to produce (missions, donations, orphanages, community soup kitchens, etc.) are proof enough of the beautiful message that was given by Jesus Christ, one that is embodied by those who give of themselves to help their fellow human beings. Perhaps it would benefit you to take your cue from them, rather than attempt to discredit what they believe in.

40) Was it lawful for the Jews to put Christ to death? "The Jews answered him, we have a law, and by our law he ought to die." John 19:7 "The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death." John 18:31

First logical statement of the discussion. The rest is an attack & proclaiming the fruits of your religion, that is nice but it does not contribute to the reasoning behind the errors.

So you admit it is not perfect? Why does it claim infallibility then?

The Authority of Scripture

The Bible proclaims its own authority
Scripture is inspired by God
(II Timothy 3:14-17)
Belief in Scripture is necessary and commanded
(I Corinthians 14:36-38, John 5:46-47, I John 4:1-6)
God has promised to preserve His word for His people in all generations
(Matthew 5:17-18, John 10:35, Isaiah 59:21)
The New Testament writers all referred to the Old Testament as authoritative
The New Testament claims the same authority for itself as the Old Testament
(2 Peter 3:14-16)


This makes the word of God flawed. You admit this? How do you know for certain there are not other errors then?

I know I shouldn't do this ...



John 19:7 The Jewish law spoken of here called for capital punishment for anyone blaspheming God, which is what Jesus was accused of by the Jewish PTB.

John 18:31 Roman law, not Jewish law, forbid occupied people (the Jews in this case) from executing anyone. Only the Romans could do that... and in this case they did.
