What are your favorite bible bloopers ?

by 5go in

my favorite is the scripture matthew 27:9 jesus remembers the scripture correct but misatributes it to jeremiah.. it's at zechariah 11:12. all bibles have this mistake in it.

it's funny the nwt crossnotes it to zechariah and leaves the text alone so much for a better translation.

5go,
There is one possible explanation for the "blooper". But before I talk about it, let me first say. I'm at work and don't have a Bible at hand and don't remember what the scripture says. But you said that Jesus remember the text correct but attributed it to Jeremiah. Well, I don't remember Jesus speaking of that prophecy. I think it was Matthew who wrote about it and attributed it to Jeremiah, not Jesus.
In any case, the explanation is that back then, the Prophets's writings were all put together and it seems that Jeremiah was listed as the first one because of the length of his writings. And it's possible that because of that, Matthew said it was Jeremiah and not Zechariah but obviously, it's not a mistake because back then, he could've just checked who wrote down the prophecy. Had it been a mistake or "blooper", I'm sure it would've been fixed long ago. There are other such "bloopers" where Jacob did something but it was attributed to Abraham, probably because Abraham was the head of the family.
As to the mention of a "unicorn", that has to do more with the translation than a Bible "blooper". Some Bibles don't translate it as "unicorn". There are animals mentioned in the Old Testament that we don't know what they looked like or what they were or that the Hebrew word for it is not easily translated. No one think unicorns exist or existed.
justahuman - but super nonetheless

I think what I'm trying to say this book the bible is suposed to be gods incurruptible word. One problem it's currupted with mistakes and cover ups. You know subtituting wild bull for unicorn. And getting prophets messed up even assuming Jesus got it right. For some reason he didn't protect it from being screwed up later making him look stupid.

You shouldn't buy or eat Halloween or XMas candy until AFTER the holidays

The only thing I liked growing up with a witness mom I got huge amounts of candy ( a day late ) and had to do no work for it.

Anti gun Watchtower

by 5go in

funny how antigun the watchtower is but i know ton of brother with guns.

watchtower loves to say jesus dearmed all christians when he told peter to put away his sword but didn't jesus tell peter to take the sword in the first place.

in fact didn't jesus tell all christians to take up a sword and a belt pouch because your going to preach to foreigners .

Doesn't really matter what the old ones say I have read so many bible apologist reason why this mistake is in ther. If there is one mistake then why isn't the whole book a mistake which leads tro my second favorite mistake when Jesus was lead up to the high mountain to see all the kingdoms of the earth. One problem the earth is round you cann't see all of them even is the mountian was a parsec high.
