Does the Bible Contradict Itself?

[spockrates]

What happens to believers whom don't obey all commands of God including not desiring the life of this world?

Is the question for me, Mystic?

So I'd like to ask: What does everyone think of the idea that many of the contradictions might be due to ambiguous texts?

I think that if god did exist, and he did divinely inspire this book, he's pretty fucking inept at communicating with us his message, considering he's supposedly omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient.

The fact that we even need to have a debate over whether or not there are contradictions in this book should be an indicator of how poor it is.

Thaks for your frank opinion. You might be right, but that remains to be seen. Do you mind if I give you some responses Christians of different denominations have given me when I've asked the same questions of them? I'd like to know what you think of their answers.

So I'd like to ask: What does everyone now think of the idea that some biblical contradictions might be due to ambiguous texts? Interpret a text one possible way, and the contradiction with another text is apparent.

I think a book which is supposedly a guideline to save my eternal soul inspired by a deity should be less ambiguous and more explicit when the fate of my sould depends upon a correct interpretation.

Thank you. Perhaps you are correct; I'd like to know for certain. Is it OK if I ask your opinion of responses Christians have given me to the same question?
