  running a series of posts doing a historically contextuallized reading of genesis 1 & 2, as part of a current writing project, tentitavely titled, does the bible support the claims of creationists --- being honest to the texts, theirs authors, and their beliefs -- not ours.

  lookinf for critical and engaging feedback and comments.. http://contradictionsinthebible.com/category/genesis/genesis-two-creation-accounts/.

  Bible's contradictory stances on unclean foods

  it's been a while since i last posted here.

  here's a good post that not only deals with the contradictory issue of unclean foods in the bible's many texts, but more importantly ends with a plea for us all to be intellectually and spiritually more responsible and honest.. http://contradictionsinthebible.com/unclean-foods-or-not/.

  this is one of the most remarkable, thorough, and scholarly websites i've seen that dicusses fairly and objectively the bible's composite textual nature, and the authors and historical settings of its many different texts and contending theologies.

  here's the book of exodus.

  i am still posting 1 bible contradiction a day and explaining it with modern biblical scholarship.

  thus far we have worked through the book of genesis, noting 81 contradictions (http://contradictionsinthebible.com/category/genesis/), and we're currently working through exodus and already have 75 contradictions (http://contradictionsinthebible.com/category/exodus/).. today i just posted bible contradiction #147: who writes the laws and commandments on stone tablets: moses or yahweh?

  (ex 24:4, 34:28 vs ex 24:12, 32:16, 34:1) http://contradictionsinthebible.com/moses-writes-the-laws-or-yahweh/.

  Did Yahweh command child sacrifice at one time?

  by srd in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  although there is no explicit commandment or stipulation that ordains child sacrifice in the bible, there are nonetheless numerous passages that discuss it as if it was being practiced.

  this post lays the query out.

  How can anyone claiming to be part of Yahweh’s people so blatantly disregard his “eternal laws”?

  by srd in

  excerpts from http://contradictionsinthebible.com/circumcised-or-not/.

  given the priestly writer's strict adherence to circumcision as the covenantal sign by which one belongs to yahweh as his people, is heir to the promise of the land, and can partake in yahweh's festivals such as the passover---all "eternal laws" expressed through yahweh's mouth!---we might rightly be able to grasp the seriousness of the charges laid against paul by the jerusalem church in allowing uncircumcised males into the covenant, into the passover feasts, and into the inheritance of the land (galatians).. paul's complete disregard for the priestly writer's beliefs, the "eternal covenant of circumcision" as the priestly writer put it, is blasphemous we might say toward this specific text, the author who wrote it, and most importantly this author's conception of yahweh!

  it is no coincidence that the historical record has shown that paul's form of "christianity" was rejected by the jews, and rightly so since it also rejected the torah of moses!
