Also, nobody can be a good person, not even Christians. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [β] Default_Defect@midwest.social 5 points 2 years ago The Bible doesnβt contain any contradictions This the funniest thing I've read all day. permalink fedilink source parent [β] WereCat@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (2 children) So you're saying we will all go to hell?

But specifically name Jesus as your ride or die or fucking die. Because, you aren't part of the gang enough to not question things and that kind of questioning weakens the faith every time. The faith in Christianity in a nutshell. permalink fedilink source parent [β] Flax_vert@feddit.uk -1 points 2 years ago (1 child) Once again, someone thinks if they don't believe in something, it won't be true. I'm not a Christian because I simply like what it teaches- I'm a Christian because it's true. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] WereCat@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago What does your reply has to do anything with my reply to the previous guys reply? permalink fedilink source parent [β] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Tell me you haven't actually read the bible without telling me you've never actually read the bible.

Although from the header of that site you can clearly see that it's an issue of the heart primarily, which motivates unreasonable scrutiny like this. The first "contradiction" I clicked on was claiming the Bible saying that Aaron dying at Mount Hor and saying he died at Mosera, which was the camp at Mount Hor, is apparently a contradiction. That's like saying a description of someone who died in the USA under the presidency of Benjamin Harrison and another description saying that the same person died during the Victorian era is contradictory. Also worth acknowledging the admission in the footer "Many of the contradictions above stem from a literal interpretation of the stories in the Bible. Some verses may be mistranslations, allegories, exaggerations, etc. and can be interpreted in the context of the society in which they were written, rewritten, or otherwise modified over time, while others are very clear contradictions."

Some systems would count the first year of reign as being year 0, others year 1. South Korea recently used a different system to the rest of the world. So under this system if someone wrote that a child was two years old and the another wrote that they were three, but the second was a South Korean, both would still be correct. permalink fedilink source parent [β] IzzyScissor@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago Not even Jesus?
