(part 2)

Its tedious and tiresome, and rather obnoxious how often it needs to be done these days. And the result? So far in my experiences it doesn't mean anything to them even when you show them the truth. Only if God wills to save them does it matter. The rest just fine other reasons not to believe.

[LaneCh]

It is rather tedious, but since I've been learning of the supposed contradictions and learning how they really aren't so, my faith has grown that much more.

[yacoub80]

yeah, good point. it has also been beneficial to my faith as well, but at the same time i find it a bit depressing how far things have fallen and continue to get darker. hopefully that just allows the true light to shine brighter.

[LaneCh]

Yes, it can get depressing, but remember that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. (Heb. 13:8) Anything can happen now... ANYTHING (aside from the obvious: God can't lie, can't sin, etc.), but it won't negate the fact that Jesus Christ is alive for evermore.

So it pleases god to kill humans?

[sanjay926]

this would give parents the right to murder their children, is this what you saying?

[coltsrule5150]

ok so why doesnt he give an example of these so called contradictions?

the bible is full of contradictions,the 4 books of the gospel all give different accounts of jesus

the bible makes claims that isnt supported by written history

when jesus died a darkness over took the sun and there was an earthquake...neither of these were reported in history,if a supernatuaral darkness overtook the sun and an earthquake in jerusalem would have been written by a lot of people in jerusalem

Part 3: Christ was NEVER crucified on a Friday afternoon. Again, the Friday crucifixion is assumed of men because the Holy Bible addresses the reality that the Sabbath was fast approaching, therefore our Lord & Saviour had to be placed in the tomb before sunset according to Jewish Law. The answer to this apparent dilemma (& it's really not), is to be discovered in the rites of The Passover / The Feast of Unleavened Bread.

For His Glory!!

@pastormtippett

Part 2: The answers are to be found within the pages of The Holy Bible, we simply have to be diligent with our investigation allowing the Holy Spirit in perfect agreement with ALL OF SCRIPTURE to be our guide.

Tradition can at times can be an obstinate barrier to overcome because it is so often wrapped with human emotions & pageantry. Yeshua faced the same problem of TRADITIONS by the Pharisees that prevented them from walking in THE LIGHT OF GOD'S TRUTH -Christ himself.

@pastormtippett

Although Jews may have reckoned a part of a day as a whole, this does NOT agree with what Yeshua declared about the length of time He would be in the heart of the earth. To further strengthen His point, Yeshua referenced the story of Jonah in the belly of the fish. Three days & 3 nights are exactly that. The problem that we face is that MOST so called believers are quite content with believing TRADITION versus "studying to show themselves approved of GOD".

[HellooooTom]

This guy is speaking towards contradictions, but does anyone notice he contradicts himself in his own story? lol

Yes, of course they have to preach based on lies...their entire belief system is based on them.
