Squaring circles: direct biblical contradictions

What I've found is that reading the Bible AS IF it were intended to be readable and understood, gets results and provides insights. Whereas reading it without that premise leads nowhere. Comming from a very liberal church, I can easily contrast the failures of one side verses the other.

None of these are worth analysis. If you are seeking the truth its WAY easier to see. Your blindness to this is most obvious by almost accusing Lot of raping his daughters, while the text clearly says he was not even aware his daughter was there. Lets just say he was really wasted. And it was a plot by both daughters for this to happen, not a friday night binge.Each of your points has an equal amount of blindness,
but that one takes the cake.Another lame claim is that different versions of the bible would confuse somebody seeking truth. The 6 version bible is a great aid when seeking the meaning of scripture. There are some concepts that are boarderline between one english word and another and multiple versions often cover both ideas in differing ways. Such as kneeling, worshiping, or lying flat on the ground. The person seeking truth....gets it. Others see condradictions.Edited by -Sky-, : .

Correct Answer: They are saying the Bible is Literal Truth.That the concepts and ideas are not hidden or needing scholarly interpretation by any high mucky-mucks. No matter what language it happens to be in, the concepts God has for us to learn are ours for the taking. Some of it is poetic, and some full of imagry,and some cold hard historical facts. But the overall concepts come through clear to anyone ready to believe it.But even then, the words are not critical, according to Romans 1:20 Edited by -Sky-, : No reason given.

You're almost there. Next comes the discovery that the stories are actual events that happened AND they are metaphores for truths and they are metaphores for other actual events yet to happen or that have already happened. But seeing the imagery everywhere is a good step.Edited by -Sky-, : No reason given.

Fundi Churches don't work that way. Sorry.

Yes, but you didn't give her a chance to research any answers to knowledge you were well versed in. Not that there is any such thing as "Mainstream Science" unless you are refering to the concept of "intelligence" or UFO's.And the phrase is only about 10 years old.So your kind of making stuff up to support your views.

I'm sorry. Were you talking to God or just giving yourself a stern scolding?Edited by Sky-Writing, : .Edited by Sky-Writing, : Confused
