Why does the bible tend to contradict itself?

[Cecilie1200]

95% of self professing Christians eat pork and shellfish.

Not everything is about YOU

No, but responses to MY posts are.

Inerrant Word, eh?

The King James Bible was translated by Edomite self professed Jews who hate Christians and their Elohim. That by itself is still causing problems.
Then, most American churches removed numerous books such as Daniel & Susana, Wisdom of Solomon, Eclesiasticus, and others.
Pile on top of these issues is millions of Christians deluded by the Leaven of the Pharisees (Edomites) that make the Word/logic of the Creator of none effect.

I always thought a lot of the ancient dietary restrictions for the Israelites seemed quite sensible for that time. Pork and shellfish can both lead to food poisoning if not properly prepared.

pork is unclean because you cant herd a pig so jews could not keep them

Another example of people not reading the Bible according the Intent of He who knows everything about His Creation Perfectly.

the original king james bible was written in english that you cannot read today so it has been re written often

What does themirrorthief mean by the word "jews", especially since there were no Jews before about 500 years ago when the Vatican invented the letter 'J'.

The Bible won't make sense to everybody. When we look up into the sky, some of us can only see the moon and stars. Some of see the same moon and stars, but we can also see into the heavens. Not all of us are equipped to see what the Bible has to offer.

thats why the bible was dumbed down for the masses

Get a Strong's Concordance and Bible Dictionary. I shows all the words added, and defines the ones not added. There are some errors in translation, but over all it is very valuable in figuring out the meaning of the various books.

Interesting conclusion. Did you know that in the Catholic Duoay Bible produced before the King James bible, it defines the word holocaust as a burnt offering of your own sheep.

Like the bible is considered the inerrant word of God, but in the bible it calls a bat a bird and there are unicorns and dragons in the bible.

Bible Gateway passage: Leviticus 11:13-19 - New International Version

“‘These are the birds you are to regard as unclean and not eat because they are unclean: the eagle, the vulture, the black vulture, the red kite, any kind of black kite, any kind of raven, the horned owl, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk, the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl,

Mark 7:19

Mark 7:19

I have no idea what your point is but that verse did not do away with God's law concerning UNCLEAN foods. Look for reasons to OBEY God, not EXCUSES TO SIN.

Even as late as Acts 10 Peter's vision, which most rebellious "christians " use to eat UNCLEAN, the honest person admits his dream has NOTHING to do with food, but PEOPLE

Okay not arguing about specifics. The larger point in Mark 7 is the Pharisees being overly beholden to laws and putting those burdens on others. You are doing this here when Christians are free NOT to do that.

Why are you doing this? Standing in judgment of other Christians when we are indeed free not to do so?

Inerrant does not mean literal.

It means incapable of being wrong.

When we look up into the sky...some will see flying magical dogs and cats in the clouds, and others will see that they are just clouds.

It doesn't however mean literal, as I said. The passages of trees clapping their hands for example are not meant to be taken literally. Many Bible passages are similarly misinterpreted.

Yep.. Lots of figurative language in the Bible.

Sorry. NO.

Here's the beginning of Mark 7:

The Pharisees and some of the teachers of the law who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus 2 and saw some of his disciples eating food with hands that were defiled,(B) that is, unwashed

Mark 7 is not AT ALL about meat, but because the Pharisees judged Jesus disciples for not going thru the ceremonial WASHING before eating BREAD. It has NOTHING to do with clean and unclean meats.

Even in Peter's vision Peter understood the vision was not actually giving him permission to ear pork

The apostles were with Him for 3 years. They RECORDED the words you are using today to JUSTIFY doing away with God's Law -- yet these fisciples KEPT God's Law. Including the very law professing christians today WANT to violate

I'm asking you why you accuse the Brethren over small issues like eating or not eating certain things when the Bible makes clear that this is not an issue. It seems to me you're gaining the very same the Pharisees did, right? Self-righteousness. YOU are doing it right and the rest of us are doing it wrong. I believe Paul preached strictly against this.
