Well as anyone with a brain knows that the bible is not flawless, although Christians will scream their heads of claiming it is the work of god. I was wondering what are your favorite Bible Contradictions??

Since this thread will undoubtedly end up in my forum where I'll actually have to read it, here you go:

So which one was the non-butchered original quote? Matthew's, Mark's, or Luke's?

I did from memory, sue me. The point is he said he was coming back, set a time limit, and then didn't show.

This same is true for each generation. The passage just means that the second coming of Christ will be a personal event to certain individuals and they will not taste death until after their beatific vision.

The text does not say that. Such interpretations, not supported from the text or its context, shouldn't be made.

I take it that you haven't read many of Amos' posts then? If you have, you'd know that saying the above is pointless. Amos' interpretations are always waaaay out there...
