Moderator LogicalFallacy Posted October 19, 2016 Moderator Share Posted October 19, 2016 Not sure if this is the correct forum for this, but this short Youtube vid is an excellent summary of one area of problems with the bible - Mistakes. It includes insight from Prof R M Price https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBryRvtde_o By the way this only hits a few of the many mistakes in the bible - probably a more wet your appetite for those wondering about the accuracy and inerrant of the Bible. BAA if you read this, there is a section on Adam and Eve and original sin in the video starting at 1:34 that may impact on our "In the beginning" discussion. It seems to overturn the notion of original sin, and the need for a saviour... so undermines much of the new testament. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezer Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Dr Price has authored a number of books dealing with the Bible & Christianity. The Christ Myth & It's Problems & The Human Bible New Testiment are must reads for those have questions about Christianity, the Bible, Jesus, & Paul. Price presents evidence that Jesus & Paul are mythical characters in a mythical story. He provides real answers for why the Bible is so flawed, inconsistent, & contradictory.

♦ Fuego ♦ Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I found it mild at best. Many believers are aware of the Yahweh/Jehovah pronunciation difference, it didn't affect belief at all. The "miss the mark" reference was also common knowledge in my congregations. Again, it didn't affect seeing the fruit eating as sin, since they disobeyed a direct command. If pagan temples couldn't be converted, then how could the pagans that built them? Again, not an issue. The replacing of a pagan pantheon with Mary and angels is pretty common knowledge also, though many Catholics would say it was not intended that way. Most Protestants see it that way, and thus Mary is not emphasized, nor are particular angels. The virgin/maiden word problem is also well known, and is glossed over by believers who say "How is it a sign for a maiden to be pregnant?" Because they want to latch onto it as a prophecy of Jesus, they insist it MUST mean virgin in that case. I think the original intent was putting the prophecy on the 2nd part of the sentence about his name being called Immanuel, which believers also see as a prophecy.
