The Disunity of the Bible
#37
RE: The Disunity of the Bible
Quote:Furthermore, you stance is an argument from incredulity. Just because you can't believe the Bible was created and read by millions of people with so many contradictions, doesn't mean they don't exist.

Yes, as Bart Ehrman writes in "Jesus Interrupted:"

Page 5

Quote:The bible is filled with discrepancies, many of them irreconcilable contradictions. Moses did not write the Pentateuch and Matthew, Mark, Luke and John did not write the Gospels. There are other books that did not make it into the Bible that at one time or another were considered Canonical -- other Gospels, for example allegedly written by Jesus' followers Peter, Thomas, and Mary. The Exodus probably did not happen as described in the old Testament. The conquest of the Promised Land is probably based on legend. The Gospels are at odds on numerous points and contain nonhistorical material.

So much for inerrancy![/quote]
