Contradictions in the bible

[Krynn72]

I used to have a good link that basically listed several of the numerous contradictions in the bible, but I cant find it anymore. I got into a discussion about this recently, and I cant find my usual source to back up what I was saying. Anyone have a good link on this?

I just typed in the title of the thread into Google and got that

 

[Krynn72]

Yeah, I did a little googling myself, and got that link. Some of them are kind of stupid though, and I think are taken with a much too critical bias.

Well, at heart, Christianity is a great religion but it all hinges on your beliefs in a higher power. I've seen a lot of openminded Christians take different interpretations on the bible.

 

[Krynn72]

Oh, I meant to say that i dont intend for this thread to be a debate about this. I would have posted it in the politics forum (aka the religion forum) if I wanted a debate. I just need links that I know some of you must have.

 

[co05]

Ah, gotcha.

 

[Ryding]

Thank you, i love this forum even more already

No it is not a great religion.

It is a terrible religion plagued by bigotry and ignorance. There is only one way to interpret it (literally) all other interpretations are cowardly cop outs.

No I do not have Christians in mind, I have the dogma.

Kill Homosexuals
"If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives." (Leviticus 20:13 NAB)

Kill False Prophets
If a man still prophesies, his parents, father and mother, shall say to him, "You shall not live, because you have spoken a lie in the name of the Lord." When he prophesies, his parents, father and mother, shall thrust him through. (Zechariah 13:3 NAB)


Kill Sons of Sinners
Make ready to slaughter his sons for the guilt of their fathers; Lest they rise and posses the earth, and fill the breadth of the world with tyrants. (Isaiah 14:21 NAB)



Kill All of Babylon

"Go up, my warriors, against the land of Merathaim and against the people of Pekod. Yes, march against Babylon, the land of rebels, a land that I will judge! Pursue, kill, and completely destroy them, as I have commanded you," says the LORD. "Let the battle cry be heard in the land, a shout of great destruction". (Jeremiah 50:21-22 NLT)


4) Laws of Rape (Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NLT)

If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her.


5) Death to the Rape Victim (Deuteronomy 22:23-24 NAB)

If within the city a man comes upon a maiden who is betrothed, and has relations with her, you shall bring them both out of the gate of the city and there stone them to death: the girl because she did not cry out for help though she was in the city, and the man because he violated his neighbors wife.



8) Rape and the Spoils of War (Judges 5:30 NAB)

They must be dividing the spoils they took: there must be a damsel or two for each man, Spoils of dyed cloth as Sisera's spoil, an ornate shawl or two for me in the spoil. (Judges 5:30 NAB)
