The errors and contradictions in the Bible make me now view the bible as merely a historical book.
One thing that Christians don’t realise is that; No muslim is muslim unless they believe in Jesus.
We believe that Jesus (pbuh) was a great Messenger of Allah, that he brought the dead to life by Allah’s leave, that he was born without any male intervention and that he was the Christ.
It is true that the errors and contradicitons in the Bible mean that the Word of Allah has been mixed with people’s texts and interpretations. However, they do not mean that Prophet Jesus (pbuh) was a liar nor that Allah does not exist! They do not meanthat Muhammad (pbuh) was a false prophet nor that Islam is not the true religion!
A few contradictions from the bible include:
It held two thousand baths.. (1 Kings 7:26)
It held three thousand baths.. (2 Chronicles 4:5)
Well.. which was it? 2000? or 3000?
Two and twenty years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign… (2 Kngs 8:26)
Forty and two years’ old was Ahaziah when he began to reign… (2 Chronicles 22:2)
Well …which was he? 22? or 42?
If I testify about myself, my testimony is not valid. (John 5:31)
Even if I testify on my own behlaf, my testimoney is valid.. (John 8:14)
There are lots and lots and lots of contradictions. There were just a few.
How can you believe in something that is so contradicting?
There are hundred of contradictions in the New Testament. We could argue, these are minor points of disagreement… In answer to this: I would have to say…. We Do not expect neither minor nor major contradictions because God is the Perfect, The All Knowing. Contradictions in the New Testament prove that the NT cannot be God’s word.
Well, Im going to take a wild stab in the dark and say your not Christian but muslim lol
Look objectively what I know is intelligent Christians do not see the bible as something that always speaks literally nor as a scientifically or historically accurate work. What is true, according to them, is that the bible expresses theological truths. The supposed contradictions you showed are not really detrimental to the Christian faith. THose are not really that important. There are however, as you stated several more “contradictions” but then again I am sure we could find some in the quran if we chose to read it.
one more thing
I am not a reader of the Quran, but let me give my opinion of what I have heard so far. Why is that the Jihad allows people-according to some-to go kill the “infidels”. Why is it that again according to some they can lie, cheat, deceive, and basically do anything to an infidel?
In all reality Christianity and Jews do not share the belief of being able to hurt non believers, but I feel all should be more tolerant and accepting of ideas that arent necesarily there’s.
