This is a thread that I was asked to start by others in another forum that wanted to continually bring up the Bible and contradictions in an evolution discussion...so lets have at it:rolleyes:
 
Contradiction...


Genesis 2:17
But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

and

Genesis 5:5
And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.


Refutations to probable arguments.

It meant spiritual death and not physical death. The word used for "die" is 'muwth' meaning physical execution. Nowhere in the passage is the word 'spiritual' used.

For God a day is a thousand years. It actually says ' With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.' Assuming this to be true then it means a thousand years for 'god' is like a day and vise versa. Not for 'man'.

The Hebrew word used for 'day' just means a 'short time'. Actually the Hebrew word used is 'yowm' meaning about a 24 hour period of time.
 
2Sa 23:6But [the sons] of Belial [shall be] all of them as thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands:


1Ch 11:11
And this [is] the number of the mighty men whom David had; Jashobeam, an Hachmonite, the chief of the captains: he lifted up his spear against three hundred slain [by him] at one time.

Seriously this is how you want to start?
 
Contradiction...

Does not answer directly...
Matthew 26:63 But Jesus held his peace, And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.
26:64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

Does not answer directly
Luke 22:70 Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.
22:71 And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth.

Jesus answers directly
Mark 14:61 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
14:62 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.


So there is a contradiction between Matthew, Luke and Mark. All three have different accounts of the same event.
 
Lets stick with one at a time, its not fair to just riffle off questions and expect answers to all of them right away.

It's 2Sa 23:8--These [be] the names of the mighty men whom David had: The Tachmonite that sat in the seat, chief among the captains; the same [was] Adino the Eznite: [he lift up his spear] against eight hundred, whom he slew at one time.
 
The fact that some of these contradictions are pretty lame and completely unimportant is not the point. The point is that there are contradictions, in this case because the text was compiled from two or more different authors.

Any contradiction is enough to prove that the Bible is not absolutely and literally true, so we might as well start with the simple and direct ones.

So how old was Ahaziah when he started to reign?

You'd like that, wouldn't you? You'd love to have time to devise some weaselly response to the scores of inconsistencies found in your so-called inerrant holy book. (That, of course, is just the start. We can cover the bigotry and evil endorsed by the Bible later.)

Sorry freak, you made your bed, now take the intellectual pounding you so justly deserve.

Keep firing, guys! We've got this fundie him on the run!

muwth a primitive root: to die (literally or figuratively);

Nice try though!
 
That's funny, in Chronicles 2:22 it says Ahaziah was "forty and two years when he began to reign."

Sorry, you lose... again.

My Bible say says 22

In my Bible footnotes...
"Some versions read forty two here,a copyist error easily made due to the small stroke that diffentiates two Heb. letters. The reading from 1kings 8:26 twenty two should be followed.
