There are plenty more errors and contradictions that we can be discussing.

I believe that most Christian churches-including evangelical ones- have abandoned the doctrine of strict biblical inerrancy. The weight of evidence is against inerrancy. Further, the bible itself never claims to be inerrant.
I have yet to find an error in the bible.

The Words YHWH spoke in the bible are true and accurate.

I think you're doing more ignoring of those errors and inconsistencies than anything else.

How do you figure that? Every error someone has posted, I have shown the answer. Everytime someone shows the answer, atheists throw the red flag because they believe the error can't be answered and they won't accept the fact.

Deus Ex just posted a link to quite a few errors, none of which you addressed.

All you did was say that you have never found an error in the bible.

All that aside, there have been MANY posts that you just blatantly ignore.

By what criterion do you establish the fact that the words of YHWH are accurately preserved in these old texts? The manuscripts were written by human beings who could have been mistaken, or lying.

Most of the words in the bible are not 'quotes' from YHWH. Most of the bible books are filled with narratives, epistles, boring genealogies, etc.. Every verse in the bible does not finish with "Thus saith the Lord".


The emotional need for Biblical inerrancy arose after Protestants rejected the belief in the infallible Magisterium of the Catholic Church. Without an absolute authority to turn to Protestant Christianity developed the idea that the bible was itself inerrant and that it interpreted itself perspicuously.

The dogma of biblical inerrancy is simply an emotional need for an authority to appeal to.

Except when they state something contrary to your beliefs and then you feel free to invent new meanings for the words. :thumbs:

Its not even original to do that...
