Just for my benefit, SOTC, which translation of which version is it that is "inerrant"? Point me in the "right" direction.

Yes, I admit this, you do not?

How is your assertion the Bible is riddled with contradictions any more plausible than mine that it is not?

Peace,
SOTC

No translation is perfect, and when I say "inerrant" I do not mean grammatically.

Are you serious? Have you actually read it?

A list of contradictions in the Bible

There you will find discussions of such matters as The Problem of Evil, which provides evidence that "God", as an omnipotent, omniscient, perfectly good being, is something that is incompatible with the world as it is.
Well there I don't have much to look foward too since I was hoping for "proof", not opinions.

Peace,

Please explain what you mean by "proof", as you appear to be using the term deviantly.

Uh yes, and I am somewhat dissapointed you pointed me in the direction of www.skepticsannotatedbible.com. No offence, the site is silly, and I just don't say that because I am a Christian, I say that because it REALLY IS SILLY! I am offended by such basic, misconstrued, FALSE rubbish and I hope someone can direct me to a site with at least some credibility.

Peace,
SOTC

The poster Metacristi said there are enough arguements to prove beyond reasonable doubt God does not exist. Now I am assuming the "supposed" arguements that "prove beyond reasonable doubt God does not exist" involve some kind of proof mechanism (i.e. 1>2, a*b = ab), am I right?

Peace,
SOTC

p.s. time for bed, be back tomorrow.

Goodnight to all!

And I suppose you have read all contradictions brought up on this page, and have worked out a solution for each and every one to solve them. Or are you "REALLY SILLY!! because you are REALLY SILLY... REAALLYY!!!!" ?

Nothing like an angry ape with his squashed banana, "RUBBISH!!!".
:boohoo:

Inerrant - Webster says "free from error" But you say no translation is perfect, so I gather that they all have errors? But then that would mean none were inerrant?

If you have a different meaning for "inerrant" I would be interested in learning it. I would also be interested in what you think is the "best" or "closest-to-perfect" translation/version of the Bible.
