I read a few chapter from Psalms Genesis, and Luke. And LOL, reading this is like trying to follow a map made by a blind man. They have no clue or understanding.

Oh the irony...

The extreme irony.

You say that site is like trying to read a map made by a blind man... I say the same about the bible. It's like trying to read a map made by spiritually blind men. They have to clue or understanding...

That's offensive to blind people by the way. Blind people are actually good at maping, they have to map out everything by muscle memory and spacial relations.

 

There is a theological term used call Illumination, it is the working of the holy spirit to show people the truth, you are spiritually dead, blind, to you the bible is nonsense and will always be, unless you allow God to work through you. God gives us a free will, and you have chosen to reject him, the Bible.

I see these arguments you give me, and really I wish it was funny, but it really makes me sad someone could be so blind. The "contridictions" you are finding in the Bible take me about 3 second to point out you are not reading it correctly. You cannot take a verse out of context, immediate or historical. I have taken classes where they have gone through and shredded all of the traditional arguments against the Bible, and usually it is a no brainer, occasion you have to go back to the greek or hebrew to get a firm answer. I have studied the Bible cover to cover, front and back, and even portion in the Ancient languages, and I can tell you this is nothing false or untrue in the Bible. Nothing, people have spent their entire live trying to find problems with the Bible, then they think they found one, only for a few years later the bible to be validated.

i could give tons of example, for 1. Belshazzar (spelling could be off) was said to have never existed becuase Herodidus (spelling?) said the last King of Babylon was Nabudidus, well the Bible says according to Daniel that Belshazzar was, so of course when all the Athiest heard this they went nuts, of course they are gonna believe a single great historion over the Bible right. Well, guess what. That found, I think it was a pillar they told the whole story you see. Belz was the Son of Nabudidus, there was trouble on the eastern front so Nab went to Ninevah, and he placed Belz as the regent of Babylon.. amazing, you would think if someone was making the story up.... they would have used Herodudus right, I might the fact Belz was ruling babylon was such an obscure thing it was forgotten... but somehow the Bible got it right... hmmm...

There are so many stories like this one too.
