Most would say "No, god's spirit will bridge the difference" or some other nonsensical tripe.
But the spirit didn't seem to help the writers of the gospel, as they aren't the exact same telling of the same story.
The spirit doesn't seem to help the churches that have splintered into different sects.
So either there is no spirit or it's worthless at bridging the difference (queue the christian excuses now!).
Even, if the story is to be believed, Adam and Eve, which knew god personally, couldn't deal with god and living with it, that they jacked up (jacked up humanity as some would say).
So is god too perfect for our own good, is did he not make up 'enough' to be able to understand him?
Or the spirit is worthless?
Or is it all mad up?
God too perfect for our own good?

Post #22Sorry, I don’t believe there is any real contradiction or inconsistence in the Bible. And it is difficult to take those sites seriously when it begins with so silly problems, like for example this Shabbat issue:nobspeople wrote: ↑Tue Sep 07, 2021 10:52 amhttps://www.atheists.org/activism/resou ... adictions/...1213 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 07, 2021 10:39 amWhat inconsistencies?nobspeople wrote: ↑Tue Sep 07, 2021 8:08 am ... if so, god' not that good at doing it or picking those to guide, as they don't all seem to agree with the stories told.

If person esteems every day, it does not mean he doesn’t keep Shabbat day holy.“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.” — Exodus 20:8

You asked for examples- of which I gave you many and you think them 'silly', and focus on that. Some may be, but if only one is true, there's issues to be had.
Indoctrination at its finest.
