Conflicting statements in the bible

[Statler Waldorf]

Now who's peddling baseless assertions eh?

It’s not a baseless assertion when it can be constructed into a valid and sound syllogism.

Its a forum, the discussion wanders. Knowing which interpretation was the accurate one would be required before being able to determine if there were -in fact- any contradictions, wouldn't you agree?

No, I do not agree. If both interpretations alleviate the alleged contradiction then knowing which is correct is not needed.

If one can;t be certain of what is being said - then how would one identify a contradiction?

I am not the one claiming that I can identify contradictions in the Bible, so that may be a better question for someone else.

I prefer magic. You have yours, I have mine.

I prefer rationality myself.

See, there's your magic - you know things about me without having ever met me - that's what.... your 6th or 7th sense in operation?

No, I have revelation from someone who knows you better than even you do. No extra senses needed.
