Every one is aware that there are contradictions in the Bible, except for the fundamentalist idiots. "They hold that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and literally true word of God" (Hoffmann, in Burr, p. 7). But for centuries, writers have dared, often at great personal costs, to show that it isn't. Beliefs are held, though contra

That's quite a compilation of differences.
It would take a lot of time to go through all of them, but looking at the verses in Matthew and Luke which claim to say salvation is for the chosen few, it seems like that characterization is taken out of context.
Still there are many contradictions that cannot simply be explained away by their context.

That is one reason why they need the Holy Spirit to guide them. They can always say there are a lot of printing errors, and they have already said that. Bible never claims that it is the word of God but Christians do. No doubt that there are words of god with words of men.

I take it, Daylight, that John 1:1 is a lie? Well, a lot of these scriptures posted here are proof that one must "rightly divide the Word of God", or, you might as well use the Bible as toilet paper because it IS a mass of contradictions IF one doesn't realize there are different dispensations. The Gospel Jesus taught is different than the one Paul taught. Jesus, James, and the rest of the Apostles preached the "Kingdom Age", Paul preached the age we are currently under the "Age of Grace"...BIG difference.

    Paulianity is a good word for it. In the Age of Grace, Christians are supposed to fallow Jesus THROUGH the teachings of Paul, so, in away, you hit the mark with this.

      The problem is Paul wrote occasional letters. Paul never laid down in a treatise his message or the accompanying doctrines.
      It really seemed like Paul was more worried about getting the message out, then making sure there was a lasting testament as to what the message was.
      Now why do you think that is?

        Not quite, Mutainia, so keep digging.
        Although I do wonder, since you say we are in the "Age of Grace" does that mean Christians are suppose to ignore what Jesus taught?

        That is completely because Paul saw his as the last generation, he did not see over the hill and into the future...the end was nigh...a terrible wrath was coming and like William Miller, Paul knew the time...he would be amazed at the religion he essentially created...probably aghast that people are still believing after nearly 2000 years...

  It figures that you would be living in denial...The Bible is an extremely imperfect document but you only have to look at the way MAN wrote and assembled the bits and pieces that make up the majority of this "book" to see why that is the case.

From my study of the scriptures, not only is your belief given to you (BY God), but, so is your UN-belief.
