Just a few contradictions in your bible

Mans wisdom in God's eyes is but foolishness. NOVEL IMPOSSIBILITIES?
Don't you know, nothing is impossible with God. I have seen Gods power at work. If God wanted to make a snake talk, it's no big deal. You will never recognize the message of the Bible, until you begin to believe that it is not a Book of lies or fake stories. Homosexuals are not supported in the Scriptures, because the Bible states their lifestyle is not part of God's plan for the human race. God tells us we are to love the sinner yet hate the sin. I dont have an illogical God, yet we live in an illogical world of war and hate that has opposed God from the beginning. And even when the prophecies of the Bible show this Book to speak the truth, this world ignores them.

The Bible is only a set of books chosen by man from a more massive collection.
The question is not so much can God create talking snakes, the question is why would He. Why would He pit a lowly human against a supernatural entity.

If you have studied scripture then you know that it comprises duplications of older religions and their rites and customs. Jesus was there to modernize. We must do the same. Logic helps us with this.

As to gays. Why is God producing them if we are to hate them?
If not in the Bible, is there a reason to hate them in and of themselves. Females included. What is their sin?

The Bible is written by inspired men of God, and God I'm sure was able to get the Books He wanted together. Even today men are pitted against the Devil. It's called spiritual warfare. I myself have experienced this. The Bible tells us in Ephesians 6:11:12 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalitles, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

As to gays, God produces men and woman, He also tells us that the natural order is for a man to be with a woman. It was never Gods intention for woman to be with woman, and men with men. It is my belief that what is happening throught out the world is of a demonic nature. The devil is working through the minds of many and telling them to do just the oppsite of Gods natural order. It is just part of the rebelion. And I will repeat this again, we are not to hate Gay people. If I hate them I should also hate myself, because we are all sinners.

We are all sinners all right.
Some of us do not try to justify our sins.
Some like you do.

I couldn't agree more, but I have to suppress some of these beliefs as a Catholic. Sometimes our personal theologies clash with their institutional counterparts. We have to learn to live with contradiction and compromise, to some degree. That's life.

Please explain what sin I try to Justify? If I do somthing, and I know it is sin you will not see me trying to get the church or anyone else to accept my sin and get use to it. I will agree that what I am doing is wrong in the site of God, and will try to live like the Scriptures instruct us to.

You can sometimes see the picture in the puzzle without having all the pieces placed.

If the Bible contains both Christ and Antichrist then contradictions are just waiting to find their side.

The person who only seek to find fault will never find the truth, because he is looking for fault.

What about the person who blindly follows what he is told without bothering to verify facts?

I could not possibly know what you know unless I was allowed to access to what you know.

After you provided me such access, I'd still need to verify facts before I agreed that what you know is correct.

I would expect the same investigation into what I claim I know or what Mark, Luke, Matthew and John claimed they knew when they wrote those versions of the Bible that were declared official by Constantine and are now gospel to Christian believers.

As we venture along those lines with the above example, no investigation would be complete unless we also look into why Constantine choose these versions and not the others. Why did he decide that these versions were the word of god and not the others?

The point being, there is only one way to the truth. Objective Investigation. Anything short of that is likely to be tainted.

Hi Imuthis Jesus did not come for the whole world but He came only for the Children of Israel.
JESUS FOR JEWS ONLY These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them saying, Go ye not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But go ye rather unto The Lost Sheep Of The House Of Israel. (HOLY BIBLE) Matthew 10:5-6
And behold a woman of Canaan came ... and cried unto him saying, have mercy on me .. my daughter is seriously possessed with a devil.
But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and begged him, saying. Send her away: for she crieth after us.
But he answered and said,
I am Not Sent But Unto The Lost Sheep Of The House Of Israel.
But she came and knelt before him, saying. Lord, help me.
But he answered her and said,
It is Not Fair To Take The Children's Bread And Cast It To The Dogs. (HOLY BIBLE) Matthew 15:22-26
It goes to the credit of this Jewish prophet, that he practised what he preached. In his lifetime he never converted a single Gentile (non-Jew). And of his hand-picked elect (his twelve disciples), he made sure that they belonged to his tribe so that his other prophecy might Find fulfilment: "when the son of man (Jesus pbuh referring to himself) shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye (the disciples) also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel" (Matthew 19: 28)

@Drnaline,

So what? They're just religious stories about fallible people, written by fallible people. They're still important to us Christians, and deserve a good read. If you don't like the Bible, put that dang old thang down.

Okay good that you admit that the stories are fallible. But the thing is when the bible is being used by political leaders to impose their ideas of morality onto the rest of us who don't follow the theology then it needs to be shown to be a baseless source of morality.

We are putting the old "thang" down. At the same time some christians will ask why are you putting it down? So the motive needs to be explained. But at the same time perhaps it is useful to remind christians that the book is fallible so why would you trust any of it?

If you are basing your morality on a book that is full of errors and you are adjusting your behavior based on these errors then doesn't that mean the conclusions you come to can also be in error?

All dumb

Take the first one...God was satisfied with his Great Angel and dissatisfied with that angel's misuse of his freedom. The contradiction is how stupid you are to not see the difference between the beauty of a free creature in the image of God and the turning of that creature against its Creator.
