Does the Bible Contradict Itself?

[Oldandeasilyconfused]

Isn't the OP intelligible? Or did I botch this discussion thread, too?

The question is not so much unintelligible as either dishonest or stunningly ignorant.

The Torah and the New Testament are replete with contradictions, errors and even forgeries. This is well known by real scholars,but denied by Christian apologists.


I've read quite a few of your posts. I have seen no evidence of a desire for honest scholarly discussion. All I see is a closed minded, dogmatic apologist who wastes everyone's time with his puerile claims. Please go sit in the corner with the other village idiots.

Reference "Misquoting Jesus" Bart Ehrman.

Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why is a book by Bart D. Ehrman, a New Testament scholar at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.[1] The book introduces lay readers to the field of textual criticism of the Bible. Ehrman discusses a number of textual variants that resulted from intentional or accidental manuscript changes during the scriptorium era. The book, which made it to the New York Times Best Seller list, is available in hardcover and paperback.[2]
