Can you guys prove these contradictions to be false? Here's your challenge, prove to me and everyone else that the Bible is not false and misleading to the truth of God and his prophets.


Here's your big resource of Biblical contradictions:

The Bible has over 6,000 manuscripts. The chances that they have passages inconsistent with eachother are very slim. It's a book of truth. It's history. Come on. We can just see that from the stories of Exodus, and the Babolonian Captivity. They were actual historical events. To prove that the Bible is completely inconsistent would take a long time. Considering that you're skeptical of it to begin with, you wouldn't believe the evidence even if it was handed to you. So, there really is no point to this topic than to make Christianity seem fallible.


The many manuscripts of The Bible (of the new Testament concerning Jesus) are largely consistent with eachother because that was the purpose of its creation in the first place.

Back in the early days of the Christianity, it had many different sects and they each had different interpretations and beliefs on Jesus's teachings. This caused a hell of a lot of problems and confusion for everybody. This led certain people to go out and seek to create only one orthodox view. And so, in a series of many councils and meetings (such as the Council of Nicea), bishops and priests debated interpretations and teachings of Jesus, and decided which ones would be accepted as true and orthodox. They gathered and edited scriptures that were consistent with one another and supported orthodox views, and compiled them into the The Bible. This was all in order to unite all Christians under the ONE doctrine and authority, the authority, of course, being The Catholic Church.

All scriptures and texts which contradicted the Bible were then declared to be untrue and heretical, and The Church tried to suppress and destroy them all, but some survived, most notably, The Nag Hammadi Library, a collection of early Christian texts discovered in 1945, and which predate any of the New Testament scriptures, and directly contradict them in even many of their most fundamental beliefs, such as the divinity of Jesus Christ. This was all part of the centuries of persecution of so-called "heretics", whose beliefs contradicted and challenged the doctrine and authority of The Church.


Now please, don't take me as some kind of anti-religious freak who is obsessed with this subject or anything, but seriously dudes, it's just common sense and logic if you just even vaguely do some reading on Christianity's evolution, and how the Church developed.

The fact is that the Bible was for the most part a political document assembled as a means to gain authority and power for The Church.

I know theres no convincing some of you who are blind and so dedicated to remaining ignorant and stupid(im sorry man but theres no other way to put it), but your "religion", Christianity as we know it today, is not even close to what jesus ever meant it to be. I'm serious, just clear your mind and observe everything that The Church and "Christians" have done in the past millenium....




You think Jesus would accept that shit?
