50,000 Errors in the Bible...Is Bible God's Word??

@Harry Blake,

I see too many illogical incidents in the stories of the bible. The world flood would have killed innocent babies. What's with that?

speculated that the biblical Flood was caused by a huge meteorite splashing down in the Indian Ocean,

And this tsunami caused a flood that covered all of the Earth's mountaintops?

Apparently, the god's technology at that time was not advanced enough to allow for surgical strikes. Laughing

@Glennn,

It was a 'surgical' strike; it flooded the whole planet earth.

Isaac Asimov was also a noted atheist.

Arthur C Clarke speculated that the star of Bethlehem was a sun going nova destroying and intelligent race that lived in its planetary system. Thus proving God was an asshole.

You are an incredibly untidy thinker if you think speculations of science fiction writers add weight to veracity of the bible. But I guess when straws are all you have to grasp what can you do but grasp them?

Another good open-minded speculation that I like is that the "pillar of fire" that guided Moses and the Israelites out of Egypt was the Santorini eruption out in the Mediterranean, God presumably told them "Keep it behind your left shoulder and you'll be heading east".. Smile

@Harry Blake,

Most Creationists have made "peace" with physics and geology. Theyve transformed into "Slow Creationists" that we call Intelligent Designers. Errors in the Bible are fairly well stipulated "unto" and the stuff layed out in the canonical documents is agreeably just there to make up some "Ripping Yarns".

Stuff like Deuteronomy, Genesis, The STuff of St John the Divine" are all just "tales with lessons".
The historical aspects of the Bible have shown us to have at least some basis in facts nd can even be used as the core of archeological digs.
SCience cannot totally deny whats in there, and except for the Lovecraftian openings, Its a big lesson plan for doing good and pleasing a deity or two.

Even athesits like me cannot deny that.

I wonder if Harry is really Romeo Fabulini's sock puppet.

Isaac Asimov speculated that a tsunami flooded the Tigris/Euphrates valleys and washed Noah's Ark up to Turkey, not me.. Wink

@Harry Blake,

Back in those days, they didn't know the world was round. All floods were 'local' even though they may have thought it was a world flood.

But you brought it up for some reason, right? And since we're in the Errors in the Bible thread, I would assume that you brought it up as a possible explanation for a worldwide flood.

@Glennn,

Good point. Harry, thanks for finding another place the bible was potentially wrong.

So who shall we believe, atheist Asimov or the Bible? Hmm...tricky one.. Wink

@Harry Blake,

I've read the bible and some of Asimov's fiction and non-fiction.

I don't think it's tricky at all.

You do seem to be a Romeo's sock puppet though - he couldn't hold a line in logic longer than one post either.

@Harry Blake,

Not tricky at all! What other credible document from the times of the creation of the bible exists to support the bible?
How about all the other 'books' that were left out of the bible? How about all the omissions, errors, and contradictions of the bible?

@cicerone imposter,

Here's the hook about the bible.

Quote:

Best Answer: Christian theologians and scholars engaged in the science of cannonization and determined that the 66 books that made it all agreed and basically has the same message. So the apocrypha (the other 7 books that some catholics believe should be included) are still actual history, but not considered "God breathed or inspired". Along with the book of Judas and the gospel of mary or the gospel of thomas which are just imposters altogether. The Bible said it would happen and that's why you have so many attempts to pollute the truth, but God will prevail.. always has and always will.

Spiritual things are spiritually discerned though and I'm not sure you'd understand if it were Moses explaining it to you. Ask Jesus to come into your life and I promise you God will show you what's the truth and what is not. He's faithful, and I'm not talking about going to a church and taking a Pastor's word for it - I'm talking about God specifically can open your eyes but you have to give your life to Him first. God bless you.

What about them? They're all freely available if you want to read them; nobody burned them or anything.. Smile

For example-
Apocalypse of Peter
Epistle of Barnabas
Infancy Gospel of James
Shepherd of Hermas
1st Clement
Gospel of Thomas
The Didache
Lost Epistle to the Corinthians
Third Letter to the Corinthians
Gospel of Mary Magdalene

How many are necessary if the Bible speaks for itself?

Perhaps they were left out for a reason. What have you learned in your research? Or, are you simply parroting the words of others?

Tell us your #1 favorite.

Yes, to show that even though Asimov was an atheist, he was still open-minded enough to speculate on biblical happenings.. Smile

Incidentally I've looked at your profile, it's as long as your arm but you seem too shy to tell us whether you're atheist, satanist, Tinkerbell worshipper or what.. Smile
