That's why I said inconsistencies in the Bible, not inconsistencies in denominations. Denominations are groups of people. I already admitted people live inconsistently.
Yes, I can also point out inconsistencies in other religions.
40,000 denominations is an absurd number that differentiates between every possible cultural difference and includes every knock off cult that uses the name Jesus. It's a demonstrably false number.
And now we come to the classic 'your interpretation of the Bible" which implies that truth is subjective. I reject that idea. I believe truth is objective and I think the experience of reality bears that out. Now, do people read passages and draw different conclusions? Yes, again, that doesn't speak to the truth of the Bible, it speaks to the person drawing conclusions. There is good theology and there is bad theology. I understand that. That's people, not the Bible.
So only the true christians count, we can exclude the ones who only claim to be christians and lower the 40,000. Got it.
In the bible, and only the bible, what day of the week did christ die on?
40,000 is a number ignorant people use. Is that more clear?
He died on a Friday.
