Biblical contradictions.

Hehe [/B][/QUOTE]You seem to be doing a fine job of that already. If you have something to contribut to the board in the way of discussion, please state your case. If your only contribution is to call people buttheads, then please don't post. I know these arguements can get heated, but avoid slander. It reflects poorly on you, and I doubt people from either side of the debate wants to hear such rhetoric.

The admin on the board is doing what the admin is supposed to do, keep the forum a place for open debate. Open hostility, from either side, not only isn't neccesary, but unwanted. I realize that there is alot of passion in this debate, and people sometimes cross the line. The point of the Admin is to make sure it is an occasional thing, and that various threads don't turn into a flame war.
Many of CravingJava's posts in this thread have been vague retalitory comments which don't add to a civilized and constructive arguement, and frankly, neither did your last post.
Passion is fine, but temper it with civility. There is no reason to be hostile.

Another interesting aspect of the bible, to me, is that all the bibles (KJV, ect) are all translations from the original languages. Anyone here who know more than one languages will realize that direct translations rarely work, and are more often then not nonsensical, especially if the grammer systems are very different. Consequently, a translater will TRY and keep the original meaning while tranlating it, though something is always a bit lost. So before you could even talk about the inerrancy of the bible, you have to contend with the fact that it is an imperfect translation. Additionaly, language rapidly changes, so alot of contextual meaning must be changed to make sense in current context. Additionaly, the defintions and meaning of words changes over time. So, additionaly, you have to deal with a change of any given language over time. Seems that there is alot of room for error there even if the original was inerrant ( which it was not.) .
