actually, smart, it proves that it's not the word of an infallible deity
Smartt: Not so. God's Word is infalible in it's message. Men make mistakes due to perception, and available knowledge at any given time. You still listen to the weather man even though he says what time the sun will rise and set. His error is meaningless.
You can not find contradections anywhere on the Bible that will change God's message of love and salvation. His message is there, clearly for those who will see. When one chooses to look at punctuation, etc, one will fall off the cliff because he has put on blindfolds.
I need not prove that, just sayin'.
God bless you
Find some other device than the Bible. If you cant trust some parts of the Bible to be accurate, then it stands to reason that you cant trust any of it. If some of it is contradictory, how do you know that the message of salvation is not inaccurate? As one popular overweight political radio star often says Words mean things. Errors in the Bible say something about the Bible. As far as predicting the weather goes, I go outside and look at the sky. If it is cloudy, it might rain. If the ground it wet, it likely did rain. I trust my reasoning skills along with my senses more than I trust an ancient storybook. I guess that the devil makes me do it.
