Easy .
GET IN THE BIBLE FOR YOURSELF . stop trusting in emotional agenda led men .
Its not hard steven . Just open and read . not difficult .
ITS MEN that messed it all up . TIME to open BIBLE and to read BIBLE and LOVE them lovely words
and learn and grow . RATHER THAN DOING what you and others always do
as in trying to always plant doubt and act like people cant learn the scrips .
READ THEM FOR YOU .

Churches are filled with people who don't have a clue what the Bible says. They sit in church listening to someone they trust more than God of the Bible.
And people often have a tendency to grasp what they first think or hear, and though they are mistaken, there is no moving them from their position. Pride is a killer!

Much love!

That’s the problem.

Believers start with their own views, then post scriptures that seemingly support their views.

Believers should start with God’s views first!
Exactly .
And i have a real simple solution . BIBLE TIME , cause THE VIEW OF GOD CAN EASILY BE SEEN IN HIS WORDS .
we should have simply BELEIVED HIS WORDS.

What i say next is painful but true .
Most beleivers are beleivers of men and their own views and doctrines .
Most beleivers are not BELEIVERS .
A BELEIVER BELEIVES GOD . A BELEIVER dont try and find a way to twist things HE said
IN favor of what the flesh desires it to mean .
A BELEIVER simply BELEIVES
but a beleiver and NOT A BELEIVER believes whatever his own lustful heart desires to beleive and that is their image of god .
But a BELEIVER , BELEIVES .GOD

MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE and a strangers voice they will not heed or follow .
Sheep dont follow hirelings who twist stuff in order to PLEASE MAN and keep the money coming in my friend .
BIBLE
and
TIME
and what does that say , BIBLE TIME . time for all to see WHO it is they been following all along .
TIME to see and to examine what it is WE have loved and WHO IT is we have LOVED ALL ALONG .
for if a man loves not truth but must twist it , WELL HOW DO THEY LOVE GOD
WHO IS THE TRUTH .
IF a man loves not the TRUTH then i tell us all HE does not LOVE GOD.
And if a man loves NOT HIS WORDS which ARE TRUTH , then they do not LOVE GOD who inspired such words .
THIS IS FAR SIMPLIER than man has made it my friend . JESUS HAS THE SHEEP . THANK GOD , PRAISE GOD ,
JESUS has the sheep . NO COMPROMISE .

Much love!
Yet many follow PRIDE and the ultimate lie of all .
For they beleive in the ecumincal love god who has come to unify the denominations
to be as one with a HARLOT who has long sold the LIE to the false religoins . THAT HO gotta go .
WHY on earth , HOW DARE one who names the name of JESUS try and have us unify WITH THAT .
JESUS BEEN TROD UNDER FOOT , but it darn sure seems MOST DONT care about that
as they clambor one over another to sit under the love god . WHO IS NOT LOVE AND IS NOT GOD .
SO i highly suggest BIBLE TIME IN THE HOUSE .

Its really more simple then you are defining it.

The reason we see conflict on a forum, is simply because there is Paul's Gospel and Paul's Doctrine for the Church, that Jesus taught Him..., and everything that isn't, which argues against it, or tries to misuse it by twisting it......as you find with Calvinism or Episkopos, for example.
This resistance to Paul's GOSPEL and His doctrinal teaching, also creates denominations.
This also creates fake bibles and fake commentaries and fake online "christian" websites and Youtube Videos, and of course fake Gospels like "Universalism".

I do not think we need to solve all the biblical contradictions. We can just accept some. For example, Paul and James simply did not agree with each other about everything, they were not robots and they had their own opinions.

There are also textual contradictions between synoptic gospels etc.

Perhaps both are true? Because they are both in the words of the Bible.(I'm not talking about structural theology or another interpretation, I'm talking about the literal meaning of the words in the Bible)

It depends on which words we prefer.
Or gain a conciliatory understanding between the two.
