Biblical circularity.

RE: Biblical circularity.
Playing Christian-Biblical Advocate:

(June 16, 2011 at 3:58 am)twocompulsive Wrote: Biblical Paradoxes / Inconsistencies :

Adam lived to 930 / Methuselah lived to 969 / Enoch never died at all.
So far so good.

Quote:God gets angry the with Jews in Exodus. Anger is one of the Seven Deadly Sins.
Actually, that sin is "wrath" and "the seven deadly sins" appears nowhere in the Bible. It's a Catholic tradition.

Quote:God is angry because they were worshipping false gods. So why give them free will ?
"Free will" is also a Catholic invention. The Bible never says "free will" and many verses specifically say we don't have that.

Quote:Why get jealous when those being worshipped are lower down the metaphysical food chain ?
Good question.

Quote:God anticipates punishing their children. Jesus states that anyone who does this deserves to die.
No, Jesus says that the children who don't obey their parents should be put to death, per OT laws.

Quote:Eight people on the Ark. Procreation after first generation impossible without recourse to adultery or incest.
Good point. And the Adam/Eve common ancestor also means we're products of incest. The authors of the book of Genesis clearly didn't think that one through.

Quote:Abrahamic Paradoxes / Inconsistencies :

When Jesus was born he spoke in tongues.
He wasn't crucified but ascended into Paradise.
You can't enter Paradise unless you are a Muslim.
You can't enter Heaven unless you are a Christian.
Jesus is in Paradise / Heaven and he is neither : a Jew.
Muslims insist that Jesus was a forerunner of Muhammad and that his teachings were consistent with Islam. The ancient Jewish prophets were also proto-Muslims. As their story goes, somewhere along the line, both Judaism and Christianity ran off the beaten path and started doing their own thing. Typical with schismatic religions, they claim to be returning to a more pure form of the faith.
