Peter, great wiki there. What are your thoughts on discussion of prophecy?

As a professional researcher, it was his job to look for possible errors, of course, but I doubt if he had the time to do that level of research.
Wow....it's a shame we haven't an award for snark.

Mary Magdalene and the resurrection


I added to this one. Mark 16 and Luke 24 also contradict Matthew 28 and John 20.

Interesting project.

Cheryl

PS I thought Jesus and his Apostles, the rise of Christianity etc was during the Axial Age....

I've added material from my thread Adam and Eve: there was no "spiritual death", as the Genesis 2:17 article "God lied about the effects of the Forbidden Fruit".

I hope I did it right, I wasn't asked to create a login. Is this normal?

Edited to add: not sure how to add a Genesis 2:17 link to the "Contradictions" page.

Is there a quick (meaning automagic) way to import those 1001 errancies into the ErrancyWiki?

Otherwise I'll try to help with submitting those all into the wiki for central knowledge-basing.

Default The Altar of Incense (The Gold Altar)

The Altar of Incense (The Gold Altar)
Examine the description of the inside of the Temple according to
Hebrews 9:2-4 NAS
2For there was a tabernacle prepared, the outer one, in which were the lampstand and the table and the sacred bread; this is called the holy place.

3Behind the second veil there was a tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies,

4having a golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, in which was a golden jar holding the manna, and Aaron's rod which budded, and the tables of the covenant;

The author of Hebrews places the Altar of Incense, often referred to as The Gold Altar, inside the Holy of Holies.

But according to Exodus the Altar was in the Holy Place in front of the veil.
Exodus 40:26-27
26Then he placed the gold altar in the tent of meeting in front of the veil;

27and he burned fragrant incense on it, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

It might help if you have a study Bible with diagrams of the temple to see that the author of Hebrews got it wrong.
Unfortunately, The KJV, muddies the water by referring to the Altar as the censer in Hebrews.

“I think you're going to be surprised at the lack of interest in this by almost all Christians. An Errancy List is an Offensive weapon�

Just want to point out that I am a follower of Yeshua and this appeals to me.

“Apparently (the) holy spirit was sleeping at the time and didn't warn him [Pope] that once Men were allowed to discuss Why Church doctrine was correct inevitably they would expand to If Church Doctrine was correct.�

The Roman Catholic Church believed that without its Magisterial Authority interpreting scripture and ordering the life of its followers, what Luther advocated was more than likely going to break into a thousand different groups all going around interpreting things for themselves, contradicting each other, leaving the faith, and otherwise causing a big mess of things—and they told that to Luther. And Luther thought of that too, which was one reason why he was terrified to the point of uncontrolled sickness about taking his position.

“I think JP Holding though will probably make responses on his site since he considers that his job so we can probably just post his "defenses" here (giving attribution).�

That might be a good idea. Then you will likely have one intelligent Christian’s response instead of several lame, reactionary Fundies’ who don’t have much of an education and are more interested in arguing.

“NT Wright once claimed that sceptics had never found an error in the NT.�

Call me skeptical but I have a hard time believing that…

“I think both sides often overstate their cases in debates on this topic, and I'd like to be able to give as fair a treatment as possible to both sides.�

Good wisdom. Without knowing it, you’re following the Bible’s teaching.

Cheers to P Kirby. He’s the man.

Double cheers for the Argument Sketch from Python.

Negative cheers on my appearance, perhaps.

Default Just posted on ErrancyWiki

Hello.

I just posted on the "pro" side for Matthew 21:16, John 1:23 and Matthew 1:23, although my comments on the Mt 1:23 were only brief and could be expanded by someone. Just the bare facts.

Also, I didn't sign up for an account until after I had posted (I'm sorry, wasn't thinking), but now have the account "Ichabod Crane", and went back and put at the end Editted by: Ichabod Crane. But what was there was done by me, although it isn't linked to my account.

Might be worth warning people who try to post without logging in, with a message like, "do you want to sign in first" or something like that.

Default Who's lying about the other 380+ ???

Dear Truth Seekers,
Just to review an important point, lets look at 1Corinthians 15:6
"""After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep;

Please notice that Paul says that after Jesus was resurrected he """appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time,"""
HE APPEARED TO MORE THAN 500 BRETHREN AT ONE TIME

In other words, the 500 brethren must have all been together.

But now start reading at the beginning of the book of Acts.
At Acts 1:2-3 it says that Jesus appeared to his Apostles for 40 days after his resurrection until he went to heaven.

During the next 10 days until pentecost they all met in the upper room.
Acts 1:14-15
14These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

15And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,)

Do you notice what it says?
Before pentecost there were ONLY 120 disciples.

Paul says 500 and Peter says 120.
Who's lying about the other 380+ ???

That's fine with me but be prepared to see some of that shit splashed in your face and please don't cry foul when it does.
