Does the Bible Contradict Itself?

[spockrates]

I'm having sound issues with this PC. Got any videos with subtitles?

How convenient.

A simple google search led me to this: http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/d...ncies.html

WOW! That's a long list, eh?

Do you believe some pictures are worth a thousand words? If so, would you say it is certain that every one of those words is true, or do some possibly misrepresent the artist's intention?

And all from a simple google search! You make this look so easy! Almost child's play!

Same question, my new napoleonic friend: Do you think a picture is worth a thousand words, and are everyone of these words try?

Doesn't one have to comprehend something before she knows how to deal with it? If you are willing to take a closer look with me, perhaps I'll be able to see what you see. I will then tell everyone who has ears to hear that I once was blind, but Minimalist set me free!

At this point you seem completely incapable of understanding anything.

Rome required that everyone return to his place of residence, not his place of birth. That would mean that about 99.9% of the population was already where they had to be. Many - like traders - had more than one "legal" place of residence, so they could also stay where they were. Others - like soldiers and other employees of Rome - were exempt from returning to their places of residence for a census.

Now, from this we can deduce that you have never even read your own bullshit.

What Luke says is

2 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2 (This was the first census that took place while[a] Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3 And everyone went to their own town to register.

4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child.

It is probably is well past time that you understand that we read this shit, too, precisely to combat the idiocies of nuts who show up here spouting bullshit. The difference is that we do not read them with the holy blinders on.

This, from a bunch of bullshit bible thumpers clearly shows that your fellow xtians are simply less dishonest....although no less wrong...than you.

Luke. 2:3 “So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city.”

YLT: “and all were going to be enrolled, each to his proper city,”

Literal Meaning: “everyone to his own city” indicates that everyone returns to his registered ancestral home town.

Many foolish excuses have to be made to get "Joseph" from "Nazareth" to Bethlehem to fulfill an absurd prophecy which does not exist, either.

On such stupidities is xtianity based!

Once again, the purpose of this discussion thread is different from your own. I'm looking for all these contradictions between biblical texts about which I keep hearing rumors. I want to examine these to see if they are real, or merely apparent. You are apparently changing the subject and getting off topic. For your agenda is to prove Luke to be historically unreliable. It's a topic worthy of discussion, but simply out of place, here. Please start your own discussion thread and feel free to invite me.
