Agree with everything except that there are contradictions. There are none. Every claimed contradiction someone has presented I could refute due to THEIR lack of understanding.Not that I want to get into this to any degree because I don't, but seriously, Taz, do any of you atheistic asses ever know what you are talking about? Many of the people, places and events have been historically and archeologically documented and confirmed. Up to you whether to believe in Jesus or God, but the man Jesus lived and his life has been well researched. But I admit, written after the fact, there are many contradictions and gaping questions left in the Bible, but then, seeing that it was written nearly 2000 years by ancient man FOR ancient man and translated several times, not really surprised.It's a book of fiction, take it any way you want.The creation has failed and can't be saved. I hope I am wrong, but look at these three Bible verses. Your take?
Revelation 21:1 1Then I saw "a new heaven and a new earth," for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.
Isaiah 65:17 17"See, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.
HAPPENING IN THE SAME TIME AS:
Revelation 20:14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death.
So, everything will end without a trace or even memory, and a new one will be created. Looks like the effort of salvation portrayed in Romans 8:20 has failed.
Is this good news or bad? I think probably good.
Your take?
When I find something difficult to understand in the Scriptures, I ASSUME and understand that the problem is MY understanding because I KNOW it is the inspired Word.
