  (ezra 2:64, and nehemiah 7:66).

  Bible Error: Creation Contradiction

  by JosephAlward in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  genesis contradicts itself in its description of the order of creation and man and plants.

  the author who called the deity god said the land produced...plants...[on] the third day... [and] god created man..[on] the sixth day (gen 1:12-13; 27).

  however, the author who called the deity lord god said no plant of the field had yet sprung up, for..there was no man to work the ground (gen 2:5) .

  Is the Flood Story True?

  by JosephAlward in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  those who have not yet relinquished their right to think for themselves should be virtually certain that the story of noah and the ark is a fable.

  those who believe the bible's stories are literally true find it almost impossible to address with a straight face the problems presented below.. then the flood came which destroyed every living thing which was not in the ark: "and every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.

  " (genesis 7:23).

  Is the Path to Salvation Clear?

  by JosephAlward in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  inerrantists believe that every word in the bible is literally true; to believe otherwise, they say, is to remove the foundation upon which one may have a certain understanding of how one may achieve salvation and reach the kingdom of heaven.

  that makes perfect sense, on one level.

  if one could indeed know that everything in the bible is true, then one would just have to turn to the part where the method of salvation is described, do what the bible says, and live forever.

  Did God Understand Genetics?

  by JosephAlward in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the genesis writer tells the story of labans agreement to give as wages to jacob, the tender of his goats and lambs, all light-streaked goats and dark-streaked lambs born while the flocks were in his care.

  to increase the birth rate of streaked animals, jacob made white stripes on brown tree branches by peeling away dark strips of bark to expose the blond wood underneath, and put these branches in the animals drinking troughs, where they came to drink when they were in heat.

  after the animals had mated in front of the branches, they bore young that were streaked; the normally brown goats were streaked white, and the normally white lambs were streaked brown.. its hard to believe that this story can actually be found in the bible, but it can.

  Can Man See God and Live?

  by JosephAlward in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the author of the book of john evidently believed that no man has seen god, while the author of exodus tells us that moses had, indeed, seen god.

  either john is wrong, or exodus is; either way, the bible is in error on this point.

  here is the evidence:.

  Another Bible Error: An Eye for and Eye

  by JosephAlward in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  scripture teaches that one should destroy one's enemies, and take an eye for an eye: "show no pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

  " (deuteronomy 19:20-22).

  however, according to the author of the book of matthew, not only did jesus not believe in fighting back against one's enemies, he even wanted his disciples to do good (!

  Proof the Bible Cannot Be Trusted

  by JosephAlward in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  objective observers know that the bible is packed with errors and inconsistencies.

  for example, genesis has light created on the first day, but the sun wasn't created until the fourth.

  matthew's genealogy is completely different than luke's.
