Default By golly!

I tell you what Mr. Magus55, you present a scenerio "solving" a contradiction in the Bible and I'll present another different scenerio to explain away the contradiction. Go and preach your solution for thirty years and get crucified for it, then I'll believe you.

Here is another one:


Jesus, being a prophet, prophesied this to his disciples:

"Many, many years will pass and most men who claim to follow me will be brazenly wicked. They will change the scriptures up so much you will no longer know what is really God's word or the words of vile men. However, Jehovah shall send saviors who will be called "The Internet Infidels". Be wise, my children and heed their words, especially the one known as B.H. Manners."

Well, I do have a question for you. Who was Cain's wife? Reproduction with Eve...incestual fornication was allowed by god? Highly doubtful, the theory of evolution once again prevails.
Cains wife was not his immediate family,at that time there were probably thousands of different people on the earth.

The truth is that the Hebrew God is ONLY for the ancient hebrews to worship not us present day americans,germans,canadians,etc.

The bible was written as an isolationism of the hebrews about their isolated god amongst the gods.

That is my spin,now see if you can disprove this and disprove it with proof.

Esau begat Joseph begat Saul,
Jacob begat Joshua begat Paul,
I guess way back when,
Men begat men
And women weren't needed at all!

As to could-have-been scenarios, here is one:

Jesus Christ after discoursing on how trees that do not bear fruit get cut down:

Verily, I say to you, notice how farmers breed only the meatiest cows and the trees with the tastiest fruit, and how they do likewise with their other animals and plants.

And I say to you, notice how surviving in the wild works the same way. An animal that is unable to feed itself cannot breed. A plant that is unable to grow cannot breed.

And I say to you, notice how children are not exactly like their parents. Those children that can survive better will breed more, and those we see will be these better survivors. These in turn can have children different from them, which can continue this process.

And his disciples hit themselves on their heads and asked themselves why they never thought of something so simple.

It doesn't specifically say where she came from.
In which case, you're adding to the scripture. Just convert to Catholicism and be done with it.

Ever hear of a little thing called Occam's Razor?

Yeah, how could Adam manage to have so many erections and not go impotent? Seriously, that's a whole lot of fucking there.
