Bible Discrepancies

[Guest Furball]

Here is a few that stood out to me.

 

 

 

1.Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

 

According to this verse, jesus shall come in like manner as they saw him go. What manner will he come? On the clouds of heaven, where every eye shall see him and the tribes of the earth shall mourn. According to this verse, when jesus left in the book of acts all eyes saw him, all the tribes on earth mourned and he was taken away on clouds of glory. I assume everyone on earth converted to christianity at the exact same time seeing jesus left earth in such cosmic glory as the bible stated that he would return by.

 

2.Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?

 

  Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards.

 

 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?

 

In the long discourse in John chapters 13-16 Jesus is having an intense private discussion with his disciples. As you can see from the second verse above, jesus acknowledges peter asking him where he is going by responding with whither I go etc. So then why in the 3^rd verse above does jesus say that none of them asked him where he was going? Huh? He was asked twice in the same conversation where he was going, yet curiously he says they didn't ask him. I'll let you figure that one out. Wouldn't an all knowing god know that they asked him this twice already? Strange stuff.

 

3. And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.

 

According to these verses in genesis 7, god killed off all flesh on the earth. So what did the carnivores eat when they got off the ark? How did they (carnivore) survive? If they got hungry, the only meat to eat was the other animals on the ark, thereby no animals would have survived seeing they would have eaten each other out of hunger. The last part, “of all that was in the dry land, died” also creates a problem as this verse would include plant life as well. So what did the herbivores eat when they got off the ark? There was no plant life for them to eat? So how did they (herbivore) survive?

 

4. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

 

And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

 

And the evening and the morning were the third day.

 

And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.  And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

How could there light and darkness, morning and evening, for the first three 3 days of creation if the sun, moon, and the stars weren’t created until the fourth day?

 

5. Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

 

    And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.

What happens next is rather odd, as paul has 4 people saying that he is telling others to avoid circumcision, yet if paul is to prove them wrong, he must go through the ceremonial law to prove that HE IS still teaching circumcision. Notice also how paul teaches that the ceremonial law is now been done away in Christ, yet here in the book of acts, to prove he is still teaching circumcision, he goes through the ceremonial law of purification. See below

 

What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come. Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.

 Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them.

 

Well, which is it, did paul teach people to implicitly avoid circumcision, or didn’t he? If the ceremonial law was done away in Christ, then why did he go through the ceremonial ritual? This was the perfect time to stand up and preach justification by faith and sanctification by the grace of the holy spirit? Yet paul remains silent. Only after this does the bold paul that we are used to show up again, leaving at least me, thinking that a jewish person added this in at a later time, to show that justification by Christ, and sanctification by grace through the holy spirit wasn’t enough, that the law still had to be kept.

 

6.Jesus takes up the cup twice in luke?

 

(first time) And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

 (second time) Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

 

7.Was jesus crucified twice in the book of mark?

 

(first time) mark 15:24 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.

 

(second time) mark 15:25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.

 

Verse 24 speaks in the past tense. I do realize that verse 25 should be verse 24 and verse 24 should be verse 25. Whether he was crucified twice in mark or not I will leave up to you, but either way, these verses only make sense when reversed in order, showing that the Christian belief that there is no mistakes in the bible at all is a false belief.

 

 

There are numerous verses in the bible, as well as doctrines etc. that counter-act one another, or just don't make plain sense. Some doctrines/scripture verses completely disannul one another leaving the reading thinking, ‘well which is it?’ Feel free to add your own discrepancies or contradictions that maybe you think others have over looked or not seen for themselves.

"3. And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died."

 

I have seen creationists try to say the breath of life didn't cover insects to try and explain away making room for all the different species on the ark. The insects alone would have filled the ark. Furthermore, I have heard an equal number of creationist say that fish didn't need to be on the ark as they would have been fine in the flood waters. This is sheer ignorance and stupidity breeding to make a complete idiot. The filthy, debre chocked waters would have killed most fish which are completely dependent on either saltwater or freshwater for their survival. What kind of water would cover the earth after a worldwide flood went past the top of the highest mountain? It wouldn't be fresh or salt water, it would have been an uninhabitable wastland of shit.

 

All in all its like debating whether Godzilla was 376 feet tall or 377.

There are only a couple of passages that imply there is a Trinity and all of them are forgeries.  Matt 28:19 is the forgery still have not cleaned up yet every second century author who quotes Matthew seems to think it reads "make disciples in my name"

 

The Bible discrepancy is every book written by Paul where he makes it clear that God and Jesus are different people.  Paul never shuts up about God and our Lord Jesus.  Paul doesn't call God "God the Father".  Paul doesn't call Jesus "God the Son".

 

Now if Trinity is true then why didn't Paul an the original author of Matthew know about Trinity?  If Trinity is false then why did God allow several forgeries to be in the Bible?  One of the major forgeries that most modern Christian translations have removed is the Johannie Comma found in 1 John 5: 7-8.

 

Of course if God is imaginary then we would expect the Bible to be full of forgeries, ignorance and ever changing theology so there would be no discrepancy at all.

 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. Luke 2:14

 

Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: Luke 12:51

 

Well....which is it? Did he come to bring peace on the earth or not? Someone is lying.
