I should maybe have included this in my previous post where I stated I "wished" everything in the Bible was not literally true. This is the exact position Charles Taze Russel took when he was forming the Millenium Dawn Students which eventually became The Jehovah's Wittness Organization. Charles did not like the teachings on eternal punishment or the idea that Jesus was God come as a man, so his movement and teachings modified these doctrines to suite his wishes. Who am I to believe, the late Charles Russel or the Bible.....I must go to the Bible and trust it, not my "wishes" or anyone elses. Does this make sence to you?

Biblical Inerrancy

Hi Jelly
I agree with much of what you say. My problem is if I allow a few mistakes in the bible then my
argument falls apart when I claim the bible was written by men inspired by God thru the Holy Spirit. If
God's inspiration was incorrect, I am in trouble. I am not "stuck" in this position but so far have not
been convinced otherwise. If I was to state my honest-honest wish, it would be that everybody
would be forgiven and "go to heaven" and not just the Christian Believers as the Bible claims.
I wish the Bible was not so narrow and rigid in many areas but there in no convincing evidence
otherwise and I must believe it as written. -

Insects with 4 legs? (Leviticus 11:20)
I cannot say I have ever counted the legs of every insect so I accept janh,s claim there are none with 4 legs. I am not sure I have ever seen a winged creature with 4 legs either (vs 21) I am also sure I have never seen a dinosaur either but I know they existed at one time . -

janH was right.....in numbers 33-39 there is an error of 300. My apologies to janH.
I use the same NIV translation he quoted from. A sub-note claims some septuagint
manuscripts state 8300 (instead of 8600) and was a copying error. I do not like
arguments such as this because now we would require all the original manuscripts
laid out in front of us to compare them. They of course are not accessable to us
and besides , I take the position there should be no errors in any of the original
writings and thus I should not have the option of "choosing the ones" that suit
only my view. I concede -

To all the Bible un-believers
If the Bible is not true and there is no God I suppose I will end up a piece of dead meat in the ground, no harm done
However if it is true,I expect to end up in heaven, I will look for folks such as janH and Farkel, I hope to find them there
as well. -

If I gave too breif a description on your theory of evolution I,m sorry. If you cannot handle such a short summary I do not know what to say. Is it not true the theory states that possibly a lightning strike on water created a living organism which became an omebea (sic) which grew legs , crawled on shore and on and on until everything on earth evolved to what it is now. If I am in error , I challenge you to tell us exactly what you think did occur then (in a breif summary) Thanks...(the dim-wit Mensa 163) -

Hey dreamer
Are you able to give absolute proof that we desended from protohomonids? You want my bible to offer proof but you are unwilling to let me ask for your proof? -

evolution teaches that nothing became something that became everything. You need a whole pile of faith to buy that story. I do not have rocks for brains , however I have one sitting on my desk for a paperweight. It has been there for a long time and is still a rock. You are telling me that if I add a bit of water and a lightning strike it will become human. Oh, not quite you say, I have to wait for b i l l i o n s of years and then it will have become human. Evolution teaching has no basis in fact and the teachers alwys throw in the billion year argument to get out of the argument they cannot otherwise win. -

Do you want me to read Numbers 3:33-39 for you? It looks pretty straight forward to me! The numbers of all the males a month older or more was 6,200........vs39....the total number of Levites counted including every male a month old or more was 22,000. Pretty straight forward to me! Also Ezra 1:9-11.....if you start back at verse 5 you will see the inventory totaling 2279 were the articles from the temple of Nebuchadnezzar and the 5400 articles was the total from all the family gifts from Judah & Benjamin including the 2279 from the temple. your statements are totally incorrect!
