It is a central dogma of all fundamental Christians that the Bible is without error. They teach this conclusion by “reasoning” that god cannot be the author of false meaning and he cannot lie. Is this true? If written by a perfect being, then it must not contradict itself, as a collection of books written by different men at different times over many centuries would be expected to contradict each other.

With this in mind, let us have a look at the Bible on several subjects.

The Sabbath Day​

“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.” — Exodus 20:8

“One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.” — Romans 14:5

The Permanence of Earth​

“… the earth abideth for ever.” — Ecclesiastes 1:4

“… the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.” — 2Peter 3:10

Seeing God​

“… I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.” — Genesis 32:30

“No man hath seen God at any time…”– John 1:18

Human Sacrifice​

“… Thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God…” — Leviticus 18:21

[In Judges, though, the tale of Jephthah, who led the Israelites against the Ammonoites, is being told. Being fearful of defeat, this good religious man sought to guarantee victory by getting god firmly on his side. So he prayed to god] “… If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands, Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD’s, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering” — Judges 11:30-31

[The terms were acceptable to god — remember, he is supposed to be omniscient and know the future — so he gave victory to Jephthah, and the first whatsoever that greeted him upon his glorious return was his daughter, as god surely knew would happen, if god is god. True to his vow, the general made a human sacrifice of his only child to god!] — Judges 11:29-34

The Power of God​

“… with God all things are possible.” — Matthew 19:26

“…The LORD was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.” — Judges 1:19

Personal Injury​

“…thou shalt give life for life, Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe. ” — Exodus 21:23-25

“…ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.” — Matthew 5:39

Circumcision​

“This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.” — Genesis 17:10

“…if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.” — Galatians 5:2

Incest​

“Cursed be he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of this mother…” — Deuteronomy 27:22

“And if a man shall take his sister, his father’s daughter, or his mother’s daughter…it is a wicked thing….” — Leviticus 20:17

[But what was god’s reaction to Abraham, who married his sister — his father’s daughter?] See Genesis 20:11-12

“And God said unto Abraham, As for Sara thy wife…I bless her, and give thee a son also of her…” — Genesis 17:15-16

Trusting God​

“A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD…” — Proverbs 12:2

Now consider the case of Job. After commissioning Satan to ruin Job financially and to slaughter his shepherds and children to win a petty bet with Satan. God asked Satan: “Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.” — Job 2:3

The Holy Lifestyle​

“Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart…” — Ecclesiastes 9:7

“…they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not…” — 1 Corinthians 7:30

Punishing Crime​

“The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father…” — Ezekiel 18:20

Temptation​

“Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man.” — James 1:13

“And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham…” — Genesis 22:1

Family Relationships​

“Honor thy father and thy mother…”– Exodus 20:12

“If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. ” — Luke 14:26

Resurrection of the Dead​

“…he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more. ” — Job 7:9

“…the hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth….” — John 5:28-29

The End of the World​

“Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. ” — Matthew 16:28

“Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. ” — Luke 21:32-33

“And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.” — Romans 13:11-12

“Be ye also patient; establish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.” — James 5:8

“Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.” — 1 John 2:18

“But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.” — 1 Peter 4:7

These words were written between 1800 and 1900 years ago and were meant to warn and prepare the first Christians for the immediate end of the world. Some words are those supposedly straight out of the mouth of the “Son of God.” The world did not end 1800 or 1900 years ago. All that generation passed away without any of the things foretold coming to pass. No amount of prayer brought it about; nor ever so much patience and belief and sober living. The world went on, as usual, indifferent to the spoutings of yet another batch of doomsday prophets with visions of messiahs dancing in their deluded brains. The world, by surviving, makes the above passages contradictions.

Conclusion​

What is incredible about the Bible is not its divine authorship; it’s that such a concoction of contradictory nonsense could be believed by anyone to have been written by an omniscient god. To do so, one would first have to not read the book, which is the practice of most Christians; or, if one does read it, dump in the trash can one’s rational intelligence — to become a fool for god, in other words.

To be an atheist, one need only be able to laugh when such obvious nonsense is offered as being “divine” truth.

Haya maquote yote ni matter ya perception unayoipata out of either of two realms. ya kwanza ni ya kutafuta kuisikia sauti ya Mungu katika mafungu haya na ya pili ni ya kutafuta ambamo Mungu amejichanganya upate cha kusema. wenye hekima huchagua kuisikia sauti ya Mungu kwenye mafungu haya. Maneno ya Biblia ni inspired by God. kuyaelewa lazima utawaliwe na roho ya kutaka kuisikia sauti ya Mungu na sio kuwa na some reckless mind kuwa unazungumzia binadamu mwenzako mwenye limited mind kama ya kwako. twende pamoja kwenye mafungu machache yafuatayo

The Sabbath Day​

“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.” — Exodus 20:8

“One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.” — Romans 14:5

where is the contradiction here? in Kutoka 20:8 God says what day to keep, the other verse says let every man use proper judgement to heed the voice of God where is the contradiction

The Permanence of Earth​

“… the earth abideth for ever.” — Ecclesiastes 1:4

“… the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.” — 2Peter 3:10

2Peter 3:10 katika jumla ya maneno yote perceive the key word "works". hizi ni kazi zilizofanywa na binadamu katika uso wa dunia. hizo ndizo zitakazoangamizwa moto. dunia kama tufe litaachwa ili kutengeneza dunia mpya watakamokaa warithi wa ufalme wake. where is the contradiction hapo?

Seeing God​

“… I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.” — Genesis 32:30

“No man hath seen God at any time…”– John 1:18

Mungu kama individual hajaonwa na yeyote. kwenye mwanzo 32 yakobo alishindana na malaika wa Mungu aliyetumwa na Mungu (soma fungu la 24). angemwona Mungu angekufa. where is the contradiction here?

Human Sacrifice​

“… Thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God…” — Leviticus 18:21

[In Judges, though, the tale of Jephthah, who led the Israelites against the Ammonoites, is being told. Being fearful of defeat, this good religious man sought to guarantee victory by getting god firmly on his side. So he prayed to god] “… If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands, Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD’s, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering” — Judges 11:30-31

[The terms were acceptable to god — remember, he is supposed to be omniscient and know the future — so he gave victory to Jephthah, and the first whatsoever that greeted him upon his glorious return was his daughter, as god surely knew would happen, if god is god. True to his vow, the general made a human sacrifice of his only child to god!] — Judges 11:29-34

you should know kuwa hawa watakatifu wa Mungu throughout the bible ni binadamu ambao Mungu aliwatumia kufikisha jumbe zake kwa vizazi ambavyo vingefuata (soma warumi 15:4). lakini kwa ubinadamu wao walianguka mahali pamoja ama pengine. the only person that did not sin wa Jesus, the Son of God. kwa hiyo huyo Jefta aliamua mwenyewe kutoa hiyo zawadi au sadaka (maana sio kafara kwa sababu kafara hutolewa kabla ya unachokitaka kutoka kwa Mungu) lakini ilikuwa sadaka haramu
Where is the contradiction here?


The Power of God​

“… with God all things are possible.” — Matthew 19:26

“…The LORD was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.” — Judges 1:19

Kuna tofauti kubwa kati ya Mungu kuwa na uwezo wa kufanya jambo na kwake kuamua kufanya au kutofanya jambo. in the case of Yuda, he allowed Judah to prevail here but not there. the reasons for these are best known to God. where is the contradiction here?

Personal Injury​

“…thou shalt give life for life, Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe. ” — Exodus 21:23-25

“…ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.” — Matthew 5:39

israel wa kimwili wa wakati huo na israel wa sasa wa kiroho (wa agano la jema zaidi, note neno 'zaidi' )wamekuwa katika constant school of education kujifunza mpango wa Mungu. kwanza aliwaambia kuwa jicho lilipiwe kwa jicho kuwaeleza ubaya wa dhambi na makosa na ambavyo yanaweza kuwa blotted out. lakini katika agano jema zaidi anawafundisha watu wake rehema yaani kusamehe hata ulipo na haki ya kupatiliza/kuadhibu. where is the contradiction here?

Circumcision​

“This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.” — Genesis 17:10

“…if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.” — Galatians 5:2
again physical israeli were trained to circumcise their little ones ili wawe wa israeli kweli kweli kama taifa. lakini kwenye agano jema zaidi anawaalika kuwa wawe kuwa circumcised kimwili lakini sio cheti cha kuingia kwenye ufalme wake ujao kama usipotahiriwa kiroho. wapi contradiction hapo?

Incest​

“Cursed be he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of this mother…” — Deuteronomy 27:22

“And if a man shall take his sister, his father’s daughter, or his mother’s daughter…it is a wicked thing….” — Leviticus 20:17

[But what was god’s reaction to Abraham, who married his sister — his father’s daughter?] See Genesis 20:11-12

“And God said unto Abraham, As for Sara thy wife…I bless her, and give thee a son also of her…” — Genesis 17:15-16

Mungu alifanya alilotaka kulifanya kwa makusudi yake na sio kuwa alikubaliana sana na kilichotokea. angeweza kufanya perfectly kama unavyotaka lakini akaamua kufanya alivyofanya kwa kuwa hawajibiki kwa yeyote zaidi ya kuwajibika kwake mwenyewe. lakini alipofanya alichokifanya alikuwa anataka watu watoke katika kuwa na miungu mingine na kuwa naye kama Mungu pekee. anasema hivi katika Matendo 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: where is the contradction here?

Trusting God​

“A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD…” — Proverbs 12:2

Now consider the case of Job. After commissioning Satan to ruin Job financially and to slaughter his shepherds and children to win a petty bet with Satan. God asked Satan: “Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.” — Job 2:3

perception yako ni petty bet lakini ilikuwa big deal kwa Mungu na wote walioutazama mpambano ule ambao mtumishi wake Ayubu aliupitia. Halafu nini kinakufanya ufikiri kuwa Ayubu hakupata favour of the Lord in the end? kazi neno in the end hapo. Hakuna contradiction hapo ni twisted imagination yako na hao wanaojifanya kama wewe kuwa Mungu hayupo kwa maneno lakini at the back of their mind wanajua yupo na alivyo. look mnajifunza vitu vya kijingajinga hivi ambavyo mwisho wake mtakuja kuuona. shukuru sana unayaona maandishi haya. basi yakakusaidia badala ya kukufanya ujifanye nunda wa Mungu hayupo.

Temptation​

“Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man.” — James 1:13

“And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham…” — Genesis 22:1

The tempt you see in Genesis 22:1 is not a tempting as you know the word. the tempt in Genesis testing and tempting like in James 1:13. where is the contradiction hapo?

Family Relationships​

“Honor thy father and thy mother…”– Exodus 20:12

“If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. ” — Luke 14:26

yaani wewe kumbe sio jiniasi kiviiilee. hata hili!!
the simple idea in Luke 14:26 ni kuwa nothing should stand between you and you salvation of the Lord. nothing should stop you from being saved hata kama ni baba yako, mama yako, mtoto wako au yeyote yule. fungu la Exodus linasema waheshimu wazazi lakini inspiration inasema mzazi hawezi kukukosesha ufalme wa Mungu kama anakuzui makusudi. soma Matendo 5:29. wapi contradiction hapo?


Resurrection of the Dead​

“…he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more. ” — Job 7:9

“…the hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth….” — John 5:28-29

Ayubu anasema anayekwenda kaburi hainuki tena. you should note that hawezi kuinuka on his own accord. it is God that will raise them. wapi contradiction hapo?

The End of the World​

“Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. ” — Matthew 16:28

“Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. ” — Luke 21:32-33

“And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.” — Romans 13:11-12

“Be ye also patient; establish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.” — James 5:8

“Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.” — 1 John 2:18

“But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.” — 1 Peter 4:7

These words were written between 1800 and 1900 years ago and were meant to warn and prepare the first Christians for the immediate end of the world. Some words are those supposedly straight out of the mouth of the “Son of God.” The world did not end 1800 or 1900 years ago. All that generation passed away without any of the things foretold coming to pass. No amount of prayer brought it about; nor ever so much patience and belief and sober living. The world went on, as usual, indifferent to the spoutings of yet another batch of doomsday prophets with visions of messiahs dancing in their deluded brains. The world, by surviving, makes the above passages contradictions.

Siamini wewe ndie mwenye huo ufahamu kihivyo. sasa nani amesema wakati umekwisha. mbona miaka 1900 hata haijafika siku tatu za Mungu (kwa maana siku 1000 kwa Mungu ni kama siku 1 tu). mbona mnafukia vichwa vyenu kwenye matope ya kutokuwa na hekima hivi. Yeye amesema atakuja na ndivyo itakavyokuwa. dalili za kuja kwake bado zinatimia ingawa hazijatimia zote. zikitimia atakuja tu. hakuna contradiction yoyote hapo

Nimekuletea ufafanuzi wa ulichodhani ni contradiction. sasa usiendelee kuwasumbua watu na habari zako kuwa Mungu hayupo. wewe unajua kuwa Mungu yupo (umetuambia na sisi wenye akili tumekung'amua). ni vile tu ulifikiri kuwa kitabu chake eti kina contradiction. Haya ingia shuleni

Hizo post zingine ni uwingi tu umeokota huko internet na ni mwingi. kwa mind ya kujifunza kaupitie kwa jicho la kusikia sauti ya Mungu badala ya kuipinga. Itakusaidia sana
 

Haya maquote yote ni matter ya perception unayoipata out of either of two realms. ya kwanza ni ya kutafuta kuisikia sauti ya Mungu katika mafungu haya na ya pili ni ya kutafuta ambamo Mungu amejichanganya upate cha kusema. wenye hekima huchagua kuisikia sauti ya Mungu kwenye mafungu haya.

The Sabbath Day​

“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.” — Exodus 20:8

“One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.” — Romans 14:5

where is the contradiction here? in Kutoka 20:8 God says what day to keep, the other verse says let every man use proper judgement to heed the voice of God where is the contradiction

The Permanence of Earth​

“… the earth abideth for ever.” — Ecclesiastes 1:4

“… the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.” — 2Peter 3:10

2Peter 3:10 katika jumla ya maneno yote perceive the key word "works". hizi ni kazi zilizofanywa na binadamu katika uso wa dunia. hizo ndizo zitakazoangamizwa moto. dunia kama tufe litaachwa ili kutengeneza dunia mpya watakamokaa warithi wa ufalme wake. where is the contradiction hapo?

[The terms were acceptable to god — remember, he is supposed to be omniscient and know the future — so he gave victory to Jephthah, and the first whatsoever that greeted him upon his glorious return was his daughter, as god surely knew would happen, if god is god. True to his vow, the general made a human sacrifice of his only child to god!] — Judges 11:29-34

you should know kuwa hawa watakatifu wa Mungu throughout the bible ni binadamu ambao Mungu aliwatumia kufikisha jumbe zake kwa vizazi ambavyo vingefuata (soma warumi 15:4). lakini kwa ubinadamu wao walianguka mahali pamoja ama pengine. the only person that did not sin wa Jesus, the Son of God. kwa hiyo huyo Jefta aliamua mwenyewe kutoa hiyo zawadi au sadaka (maana sio kafara kwa sababu kafara hutolewa kabla ya unachokitaka kutoka kwa Mungu) lakini ilikuwa sadaka haramu
Where is the contradiction here?


The Power of God​

“… with God all things are possible.” — Matthew 19:26

“…The LORD was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.” — Judges 1:19

Kuna tofauti kubwa kati ya Mungu kuwa na uwezo wa kufanya jambo na kwake kuamua kufanya au kutofanya jambo. in the case of Yuda, he allowed Judah to prevail here but not there. the reasons for these are best known to God. where is the contradiction here?

Personal Injury​

“…thou shalt give life for life, Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe. ” — Exodus 21:23-25

“…ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.” — Matthew 5:39

israel wa kimwili wa wakati huo na israel wa sasa wa kiroho (wa agano la jema zaidi, note neno 'zaidi' )wamekuwa katika constant school of education kujifunza mpango wa Mungu. kwanza aliwaambia kuwa jicho lilipiwe kwa jicho kuwaeleza ubaya wa dhambi na makosa na ambavyo yanaweza kuwa blotted out. lakini katika agano jema zaidi anawafundisha watu wake rehema yaani kusamehe hata ulipo na haki ya kupatiliza/kuadhibu. where is the contradiction here?

Circumcision​

“This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.” — Genesis 17:10

“…if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.” — Galatians 5:2
again physical israeli were trained to circumcise their little ones ili wawe wa israeli kweli kweli kama taifa. lakini kwenye agano jema zaidi anawaalika kuwa wawe kuwa circumcised kimwili lakini sio cheti cha kuingia kwenye ufalme wake ujao kama usipotahiriwa kiroho. wapi contradiction hapo?

Incest​

“Cursed be he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of this mother…” — Deuteronomy 27:22

“And if a man shall take his sister, his father’s daughter, or his mother’s daughter…it is a wicked thing….” — Leviticus 20:17

[But what was god’s reaction to Abraham, who married his sister — his father’s daughter?] See Genesis 20:11-12

“And God said unto Abraham, As for Sara thy wife…I bless her, and give thee a son also of her…” — Genesis 17:15-16

Mungu alifanya alilotaka kulifanya kwa makusudi yake na sio kuwa alikubaliana sana na kilichotokea. angeweza kufanya perfectly kama unavyotaka lakini akaamua kufanya alivyofanya kwa kuwa hawajibiki kwa yeyote zaidi ya kuwajibika kwake mwenyewe. lakini alipofanya alichokifanya alikuwa anataka watu watoke katika kuwa na miungu mingine na kuwa naye kama Mungu pekee. anasema hivi katika Matendo 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: where is the contradction here?

Trusting God​

“A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD…” — Proverbs 12:2

Now consider the case of Job. After commissioning Satan to ruin Job financially and to slaughter his shepherds and children to win a petty bet with Satan. God asked Satan: “Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.” — Job 2:3

perception yako ni petty bet lakini ilikuwa big deal kwa Mungu na wote walioutazama mpambano ule ambao mtumishi wake Ayubu aliupitia. Halafu nini kinakufanya ufikiri kuwa Ayubu hakupata favour of the Lord in the end? kazi neno in the end hapo. Hakuna contradiction hapo ni twisted imagination yako na hao wanaojifanya kama wewe kuwa Mungu hayupo kwa maneno lakini at the back of their mind wanajua yupo na alivyo. look mnajifunza vitu vya kijingajinga hivi ambavyo mwisho wake mtakuja kuuona. shukuru sana unayaona maandishi haya. basi yakakusaidia badala ya kukufanya ujifanye nunda wa Mungu hayupo.

Temptation​

“Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man.” — James 1:13

“And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham…” — Genesis 22:1

The tempt you see in Genesis 22:1 is not a tempting as you know the word. the tempt in Genesis testing and tempting like in James 1:13. where is the contradiction hapo?

Family Relationships​

“Honor thy father and thy mother…”– Exodus 20:12

“If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. ” — Luke 14:26

yaani wewe kumbe sio jiniasi kiviiilee. hata hili!!
the simple idea in Luke 14:26 ni kuwa nothing should stand between you and you salvation of the Lord. nothing should stop you from being saved hata kama ni baba yako, mama yako, mtoto wako au yeyote yule. fungu la Exodus linasema waheshimu wazazi lakini inspiration inasema mzazi hawezi kukukosesha ufalme wa Mungu kama anakuzui makusudi. soma Matendo 5:29. wapi contradiction hapo?


Resurrection of the Dead​

“…he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more. ” — Job 7:9

“…the hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth….” — John 5:28-29

Ayubu anasema anayekwenda kaburi hainuki tena. you should note that hawezi kuinuka on his own accord. it is God that will raise them. wapi contradiction hapo?

The End of the World​

“Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. ” — Matthew 16:28

“Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. ” — Luke 21:32-33

“And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.” — Romans 13:11-12

“Be ye also patient; establish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.” — James 5:8

“Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.” — 1 John 2:18

“But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.” — 1 Peter 4:7

These words were written between 1800 and 1900 years ago and were meant to warn and prepare the first Christians for the immediate end of the world. Some words are those supposedly straight out of the mouth of the “Son of God.” The world did not end 1800 or 1900 years ago. All that generation passed away without any of the things foretold coming to pass. No amount of prayer brought it about; nor ever so much patience and belief and sober living. The world went on, as usual, indifferent to the spoutings of yet another batch of doomsday prophets with visions of messiahs dancing in their deluded brains. The world, by surviving, makes the above passages contradictions.

Siamini wewe ndie mwenye huo ufahamu kihivyo. sasa nani amesema wakati umekwisha. mbona miaka 1900 hata haijafika siku tatu za Mungu (kwa maana siku 1000 kwa Mungu ni kama siku 1 tu). mbona mnafukia vichwa vyenu kwenye matope ya kutokuwa na hekima hivi. Yeye amesema atakuja na ndivyo itakavyokuwa. dalili za kuja kwake bado zinatimia ingawa hazijatimia zote. zikitimia atakuja tu. hakuna contradiction yoyote hapo

Nimekuletea ufafanuzi wa ulichodhani ni contradiction. sasa usiendelee kuwasumbua watu na habari zako kuwa Mungu hayupo. wewe unajua kuwa Mungu yupo (umetuambia na sisi wenye akili tumekung'amua). ni vile tu ulifikiri kuwa kitabu chake eti kina contradiction. Haya ingia shuleni

Hizo post zingine ni uwingi tu umeokota huko internet na ni mwingi. kwa mind ya kujifunza kaupitie kwa jicho la kusikia sauti ya Mungu badala ya kuipinga. Itakusaidia sana

The Sabbath Day​

“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.” — Exodus 20:8

“One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.” — Romans 14:5

Contradiction!

Mstari mmoja unasema Mungu kaiweka Sabato, ifanyeni takatifu. Mstari mwingine unasema kila mtu akifanyie anavyoona sawa kwa kufuata anachokikubali yeye mweyewe, hata Mungu hatajwi.

Does the Bible contradict itself?

Does the Bible contradict itself? And is that a problem? An honest look at apparent inconsistencies in the Bible.

Are there contradictions in the Bible?

Those who wish to discredit the Bible will sometimes come up with lists of contradictions in order to try to discomfit those who believe it. In response, many Christians will perform extraordinary mental gymnastics to attempt to prove that there are no contradictions in the book.

But if we study the Bible carefully and deeply, and are honest about what we find, we have to conclude otherwise. Does the Bible contain contradictions? Yes.

Now, we need to understand what this means. It does not mean that the Bible is unreliable, that it is ‘flawed’. It is not denying that it is the revealed truth of God, the word of God. But, nonetheless, it contains contradictions.

The thing is this: the Bible was written by many people over a long period of time. And although, as Christians believe, the Spirit of God was inspiring those writers, he wasn’t over-ruling them. They weren’t robots; they weren’t taking dictation. And so they bring their interests, their priorities, their concerns and their perspectives to what they write. And those perspectives are often different. It can be argued that this makes the Bible stronger and more valuable than if it were some sort of direct download from heaven.

There are a number of different types of contradiction, and we need to think about them separately. We shouldn’t just lump them together.

Textual damage

First, there are minor contradictions that probably result from damage to the texts. We don’t have the original manuscripts of any part of the Bible. What we do have is a large number of ancient copies – some relatively complete, and some very fragmentary. We know that occasionally small errors creep in the copying process. So, an example of such a contradiction would be:

Saul was one year old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years over Israel. (1 Samuel 13:1)

The biblical story that goes along with this verse clearly tells how Saul was a grown man when he was anointed king, and reigned for many years. Biblical scholars are almost unanimous that this contradiction is a simple case of text corruption through scribal error.

Multiple witnesses

Sometimes there are minor contradictions because of multiple witnesses to an event. All four of the gospel accounts testify clearly to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. But they disagree over minor details. For example: who arrived first at the tomb? According to Matthew it was Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James; Mark adds Salome; Luke has Joanna with the two Marys and ‘other women’; and John mentions Mary of Magdalene alone.

It’s easy to see how such minor variations might have arisen. The few believers in Jesus Christ in those days were scared, scattered and bewildered; their recollection of the most important fact is seared on their memories, but minor details are remembered differently by different witnesses. There is no reason for this to lessen our confidence in the truth of the resurrection. It is well known that when multiple witnesses stand up in court and give absolutely identical accounts of an event, they have probably fabricated it. The minor divergences serve to authenticate the testimony about the main fact.

Theological diversity

Sometimes different accounts arise because different authors have different theological concerns, and the way they tell the story is crafted to reflect that priority. Sticking with the gospels, for example, it’s striking that they sometimes place the events of the life of Jesus in a different order.

A good example is when Jesus enters the Temple in Jerusalem to cleanse it. The gospel writers differ in where they place this event in the ministry of Jesus – at the beginning, or the end. It is possible that Jesus did the action twice. But it is more likely that this event, rich in symbolic meaning, is being interpreted in different ways by the writers, who then shape their narrative to highlight that particular element of the rich meaning. The first three gospel writers place the event in the final week of Jesus’ life. For them, they want to show us that Jesus is the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies that one day God would visit and judge the Temple. By contrast, the writer of the fourth gospel puts this event at the beginning of Jesus’ ministry, because he wants to put primary importance on Jesus’ renewal of the worship of Israel and his claim to be the new way that humans meet with God, which replaces the Temple function.

So, although the writers differ in their chronology, what they are really doing is expressing different facets of this richly symbolic action.

Lying characters

One of the main reasons that we find apparent contradictions in the Bible is because they are there deliberately. There are two main reasons why this might happen. The first is to show us that a character in the story is an unfaithful witness. For example, in 1 Samuel 31:4 we read about the death of King Saul after being wounded in battle. Here we are told that he asked his armor-bearer to finish him off, and when the servant refused, he fell on his own sword. Just a few verses later, in 2 Samuel 1:10 (the two books of Samuel form one continuous document), a messenger comes to King David and tells him that he slew Saul as a mercy killing.

Is our writer too obtuse to notice that he has given us two different accounts of the death of Saul? Not at all. But whereas the first one is told to us by the narrator, and is therefore to be trusted, the second account is in the mouth of a character in the story. His contradictory story is evidence of his unreliability. Ironically, King David has him executed for the crime that he didn’t really commit!

The complexity of truth

The second, and perhaps most important type of deliberate contradiction is found where our author or authors want to indicate to us that something complex and subtle is going on, and to invite us to ponder it carefully. Here, I’d like to give two examples.

The first is in the book of Proverbs. This is a collection of ‘wise sayings’. It is sometimes understood as a set of promises (live well and you will be blessed) – it isn’t. And it is sometimes understood as a set of laws, telling us what to do. It isn’t that, either. It is a rich and subtle exploration of how to live well in God’s world.

In Proverbs 26:4-5, we have an interesting pair of Proverbs.

Do not answer fools according to their folly, or you will be a fool yourself. Answer fools according to their folly, or they will be wise in their own eyes.

There is no way that our author has failed to notice that these two sayings contradict one another! They are right next to each other.

Sometimes people who want to criticize the Bible try to hunt out contradictions as if they will be embarrassing and difficult to explain. But here we have a pair of contradictory sayings right next to each other. No hunting is necessary, and the author is clearly without embarrassment.

So what is our author doing? He is inviting us to ponder the value of ‘answering fools according to their folly’. Sometimes it is an important and fruitful thing to reason with someone who is acting or speaking foolishly. At other times, you are wasting your time and it is foolish to continue to try. The wise person will be discerning about which conditions are in force at any given time.

A second set of examples is found in the book of Joshua. This book gives an account of the military conquest of the land of Canaan by the people of Israel, led by Joshua. Within this book we find many contradictions about how complete the conquest was. Perhaps one of the best examples is in Joshua 10:20, where Joshua is repelling an attack by five armies. Compare the two halves of this verse:

When Joshua and the Israelites had finished inflicting a very great slaughter on them, until they were wiped out, and when the survivors had entered into the fortified towns…

So, were the people wiped out, or were there survivors who fled? Once again, our author is completely unembarrassed about giving us contradictory information. If we were to interrogate him, we would learn two things. First, he would probably be puzzled about our question. Because he’s wanting to communicate something to us that is more important (to him) than actual casualty figures. And second, if we pressed him, the answer he would give us might be something like this: “Joshua utterly defeated them, obviously, but of course he didn’t kill them all!”

God sees a bigger picture

There’s one more category of apparent contradiction that we should consider. This is where we see contradictions because we are not reading the Bible from God’s perspective, but from our own, flawed one. A good example here would be the question of whether God is a God of love or a God of wrath. Many people would suggest that the Bible is contradictory on the matter.

However, this is to fail to understand that our writers see no problem with asserting both of these things at the same time. Loving parents fiercely defend their children, and, indeed, discipline them. So the Bible reveals a God whose love is tough and fierce, and whose loving nature necessitates that he be angry against, for example, the violent and the abusive. There is no contradiction here, as the Bible sees it.

Truth is rich and complex. It cannot be boiled down to a set of facts. Instead it can be explored, probed, tested, hinted at, and illustrated. This is what he Bible does, again and again. This is best explained with an old story, somewhat clichéd, but still helpful.

The story is of several blind men who are investigating an elephant and trying to decide what it is like. One gets hold of the trunk and thinks it is snake-like. Another grasps the leg and believes an elephant is like a tree. A third seizes a tusk and concludes that it is like a spear. You get the analogy. None of these men is wrong, but they are all holding an incomplete part of the picture. Are their ideas contradictory? Not if we know that the elephant is much bigger than any of them can perceive.

God is much, much more rich and complex than an elephant. (Wouldn’t it be dreadful if he could be easily explained, or drawn?) And we are like blind people fumbling our way towards discovering more about him. The Bible helps us in our search, but only if we embrace its rich complexities.

Are there contradictions in the Bible? Yes. Why would we wish it any other way?
