Biblical Christianity 101, a study of the book of Romans
RE: Biblical Christianity 101, a study of the book of Romans
Drich, you simply cannot chalk every doctrinal contradiction in the Bible up to "translation errors." That is a massive copout, and everyone knows it. Unless you can read Aramaic, Greek, and Hebrew, you're not qualified to make an informed statement about whether the original texts contradict themselves or each other.


Even if you could, there are plenty of people who can do the same thing and have come to markedly different conclusions than what you seem to be insisting.


What you sound like is somebody who has been told by a preacher who has been told by other preachers at preacher-school that if you just understand Hebrew well enough, the contradictions disappear. The problem with that is that there are plenty of mainstream scholars who also speak and read Hebrew who don't think of the Bible as any more special or inerrant than any other ancient text (or bastardization thereof).
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
