50,000 errors in Bible

Post #1

Post by TrueReligion »

The Jehovah's Witnesses in their "AWAKE!" Magazine dated 8 September, 1957, carried this startling headline " "50000 ERRORS IN THE BIBLE?" (See below for the reproduction).

What the christians have to say in this, is still remaining or they are removed? if removed? how many remaining now?

Then how come it becomes word of God?

According to the Mormons, the book of the Mormon IS part of the bible.

I fail to see any relevance to 'the number of errors in the Bible' .
“What do you think science is? There is nothing magical about science. It is simply a systematic way for carefully and thoroughly observing nature and using consistent logic to evaluate results. So which part of that exactly do you disagree with? Do you disagree with being thorough? Using careful observation? Being systematic? Or using consistent logic?�

Are you going to abandon your religion then? You have to if your rule of authenticity is true. Don't you understand if your rule of authenticity is valid then discussing errors in the bible is useless, in one sentence you invalidated the entire book along with nearly every other holy book on the planet.
As I said, no other reply will be given to you beside the topic of post, whatever you keep on saying, it does;nt matter, as its not relevant to post.

Did I mention anything about book of Mormons? do you mean there r'nt any erros in Bible?
What about Torah, which christians claims to be OT in Bible? are they also without errors?

If there was any other kind of book with as many errors and discrepancies as the Bible, it would have been rejected by editors and revised from start to finish, it's obviously flawed, so if God is infallible, it must mean there is some kind of filter between God and humans.

Maybe God needs a better way of relaying information than poorly written books.

When you guess a God into existence...when you concoct stories, you are eventually going to come up against science and experience and wrongheaded predictions...it would be surprising if much of anything in th Bible were actual.

Why is there only 1 Bible which is sent by God? God didnt made mistake , and didnt contradict what God gave to Jesus, its christians who changed the book, and contradictions came from that.
Because of this, God send another revelation, free from contradictions and errors, and is same as it was revealed till today.
But main point is,that the fundamentalist christians still persist on calling Bible as a whole word of God, without any error and addition of human mind,

Yes and then god did another revelation which is now the book of Mormons. By your logic Mormonism is the correct religion?

But this is just 1 sect of christianity, its not revealed by God, its just a sect founded by 1 christian.

Founder: Joseph Smith (18 05-1844 killed)
1822 Angel Moroni came
Book of Mormon published 1830

Smiths closest disciple, Brigam Young (1801-1877), took followers to Utah, and took 25 wives and promoted unrestricted polygamy, until the USA government threatened to revoke statehood. Mr. Young received revelation that polygamy was abrogated.

Unusual Beliefs
Adam actually God incarnated who came to Eden (in Missouri) with one of his heavenly wives, Eve. Had sexual relations with Mary to produce Jesus.
God physically a huge man along with mother-wife begat all human spirits
Until 1978 blacks could not enter the priesthood (age 14 males enter Aaronic priesthood and at age 20 they enter the higher o ffice o f Melchezdec), thus all 17 temples of the sect were o ff-limits to blacks.
Then First President, Spencer Kimball got revelation to include blacks

If you call book of Mormons as a revealed book, what is their religion and faith?

What is unusual in having sex to make someone pregnant?

Yes and Islam has a ton of female imams right?

Great question! As it turns out there are many holy texts, all of them have flaws, maybe you should ask your Jeebus why he's such a crappy writer

why should I respect a religion that's founded on falsehoods, mistranslated documents, and contradicting teachings? Why should I worship a God who's teachings are about as clear as mud? He sucks at giving instructions.

and another and another and another and another...for an almighty being he sure can't understand the concept of perfection, and his revisions are just as repulsive as his originals

show me a holy text that's free of errors and I will lick my own butthole

I agree with you, but I still have no idea what the hell your point was.
