Quote:You hear a lot about contradictions in the Bible, but what about fallacious reasoning within the "holy scriptures"? I tried searching the web for some examples and couldn't find any.
Perhaps have a go at actually READING the Torah and the New Testament, or look a bit harder on line.
You will find logical fallacies as well as contradictions.
Just off hand; one logical fallacy from the New Testament: A woman was found guilty of committing adultery. Under Mosaic law, the penalty was death by stoning. Jesus allegedly gets her off with "let those among you without sin cast the first stone". That's a common logical fallacy called 'tu quoque' or 'appeal to hypocrisy'. In essence it's a strawman; I may not use your crimes to justify or excuse mine.
