Bingo.. context resolved the appearance of a contradiction

There is no contradiction what we can can conclude is that due to the extreme sin of Israel and their rejection. God did not recieve their sacrifices as payment for sin. Also remember the book of hebrews, the blood of bulls and goats could never take away sin, that is why jesus came to die...

See what I mean what is the context of Amos. Why did God reject their sacrifices. Was it not because of their sin. once again, No contradiction at all only a perceived contradiction which can be immediately responded just by looking at the context.

It withered immdiately in chapter 11. There is no response that the fig tree withered immediately or not. So we can not get front he text whether it did. Or even that they saw it (it said they heard him say it, it does nto see they saw it) Matt 21 is another account of what happened. Only this...

Then by defenition the Bible can not be trusted. And the Bible can not do what God said it would do. if I believed this, i would find another religion. I am being honest. Why follow a God who can not even get his word correct without being full of mistakes

I personally think when Jesus and paul thought of monotheism, they thought of one Godhead. The father, the son and the spirit. Even in the OT. The God of Israel (jesus) said he was sent by the father and his spirit. when the high priest on the other hand thought of it. He thought of one person...

On thing to remember, he told them they needed rescued. they did not think they needed rescued. And since he did not come to free them from Rome,, They rejected him as not only their savior. But their messiah. the first one was a damnable offense.. the second one caused them to lose...

Really? Why?

I think, paul as a jew would interpret monotheism different than say like the high priest Ciaphis. but yes, I have actually seen people question the authority and reliability because of this very issue, which is sad.

Again, I think it all comes down to how one interprets a word. Did Jesus contradict himself? When Jesus believed in monotheism, was his interpretation of that wrd the same as the jews who rejected him?

Not sure if it helps. But if we look back to vs 1. The author wrote, the word was with God (Literally Ho Theos. Or the God) and the word was God (again, Ho Theos, or literally the God) in vs 18. It just says Theos.. The fact that he changes his wording, and does not say no one has seen “the...

or you can just pick up the word. And know that there will never be salvation for satan, and save yourself 42 minutes, and apply your time to doing somethign more productive Rev 10: 10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where[b] the beast and the false...

Enjoy Dinner, It is lunch time here

I still have not seen any contradictions. All of the things you showed me can be answered in a way they do not contradict if they truly contradict. Then the Bible is flawed. You would not say a science book that is contradictory or has things that appose itself would be a perfect blood. You...

Wow this came out of no where.

but who makes this defenition? It’s legalistic if you say if you do not accept some creed made after the church was started and after the word was completed. You are not a christian. I agree, Just like God sets the standard. he spent 2000 years putting that standard together for us. in the...

If you think these are contradictions I could see why someone faith could be shaken. again, context could answer every one of these. And also we can resolve these in a way as to not cause contradiction. I do not know why anyone would want a bible that contradicts itself. if the Bible is the...

Are Are they saved because the accept it. or are they saved because they accept the words of God I think it is legalistic to say we must agree to some creed. Or we are not part of the church.

Why would my faith be damaged? If you showed them, and I could not answer them, I would study long and hard to resolve them Now if there are literal contradictions in the word which can not be answered. Then my faith in the word would be shattered. Because it could not be trusted. god does not...

I have seen it also.. they believe in certain parts. Just not the whole..
