    Thanks Cherry , can't see again doctrinal or actual contradictions regarding the Gospel or what we need to know in order to get closer to our God or our Saviour , seems like a lot of numerical stuff , I will look them up some time , right now I'm busy enjoying my Bible , we have a saying in England , don't throw the baby out with the bath water , please stay safe .

    Cherry P.S. Years ago a world famous russian mathematics professor who happened to be an atheist made it a lifetime commitment to prove the bible was mathematically imperfect. About 5 years in his research work he got born again, he never got through the whole book because its perfection blew His Mind. At least if you want help you at the right source, try looking at the gospels for your answers. God Bless

    Dianne,

    I don't need help or consultation, no, I love bringing out the truth, seeing what wilts in sunlight. I posted this so proud, stubborn doubters would see how wrong it is to suspend logic. I love God, but I'm not taking a fall for his slack writers.

    Otherwise, I'm doing great, enjoying my time, sitting here drinking my coffee.

    Hello, looks like you might have copy pasted this list from an atheist website or somewhere. Look up the phrase 'confirmation bias' as every one of these so called contradictions is based on a false assumption leading to a false understanding. People will sometimes end up seeing and believing what they already want to believe rather than what is actually true.

    If you want to discuss each one at a time that is welcomed, but I'm sure you're aware that people before have shared false information before. This list is one of those. If you're genuinely interested in what the Bible says you can just read it and post any questions you have here one at a time. But your posting can be viewed as atheist propaganda for people afraid of the God's truth and the real implications it has for their life.

    P.S. Cherry if you have another way out of all the stuff happening around us and a better explnation of who authorized creation, please let me know, not saying I'll believe it we we have with Gods Word and the guarantees are too good.

    Cherry

    Since according to you God's word is so compromised. And you took it upon yourself to research this.

    Can you give us who trust on Gods word for our Salvation can you give us an ALTERNATIVE? Our souls depend on Gods promise to preserve it!!!
  • S Spencer - In Reply - 2 years ago
    Hi Cherry.

    Mind you I haven't read any of your proposed contradictions. Just the opening of each of the posts where you seem to go to great lengths..

    I personally don't concern myself with contradictions of details when Almoghty God is able to preserve TRUTH. " THE MESSAGE" Which is spread throughout 66 books.

    Isaiah 28:9-10. Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.

    For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

    And God didn't just give us his message by letter. His creation declare his Glory. Some say the Gospel is written in The Stars.

    Attacking the integrity of the Scripture and say God can't preserve his word contradicts God word!!

    Psalms 12:6-7. The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

    Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

    It's the wok of Satan.
  • Dianne - In Reply - 2 years ago
    S Spencer I will not deny that a post pointing out that the Bible we have supposedly has a ton of error which I and you know is not true. But here's a true story for you, years ago a world famous Russian professor in math and to boot atheist at the time set out to disprove that Gods word was not mathematically perfect. In the middle of his studies he got Born again. It got so deep it blew His 5 senses cork, perhaps she's looking for answers or in a spot in her life where she needs real help and right now its her way of searching. I don't know her heart only God Does.

    Hi Sister Dianne.

    There may be minor error in the text some is because of translation, I can give you an often used verse that's not in the original, But the verse is correct and doesn't change the narrative. The truth is not compromised!! You can discard John 3:16. out the bible and the remaining scripture will cover for it. God message is spread a little hear a little there, line upon line. The Holyspirit have his way of bringing out truth if he had only one word remaining!!! The rocks will cry out. Balaams donkey spoke!! God is not depending Mans faithfulness to do anything!!

    Besides we say he Loves us, We say he's all knowing, We're saved by grace through faith and faith comes by hearing the word.

    Why would loving God stand by and watch little feeble man derail his Whole program!!

    If so Satan wins.

    Every thing I mentioned is being attacked.

    We know we wrestle not against flesh and blood but what's behind it. She need to Know that too. We are to take a stand!

    Jesus says in Matthew 12:30. He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

    You can't be with the Lord and attack hi word by which we gather.

    She must turn from such attacks and ask God for forgiveness.

    God bless.
  • ADDING OR TAKING AWAY SCRIPTURES equals DEATH PENALTY - In Reply - 2 years ago
    Spencer,

    First off, I can hardly believe your reply. You are standing on SAND my friend.

    We DO NOT HAVE Gods permission to edit or delete any portion of the Bible. SEE PROOF:

    Revelation 22

    18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall ADD unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

    19 And if any man shall TAKE AWAY from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the BOOK OF LIFE, and OUT of the holy city, and from THE THINGS which are written in this book.

    **That is a passage to write down on an index card and tape it at eye level, on your refrigerator.

    I had a Pastor that once said: If you never run into the Devil and his operatives, the Demons; YOU'RE PROBABLY WALKING ALONGSIDE WITH HIM.

    They hate Jesus, and they hate Jesus's Followers.

    A Christian that takes Ephesians 6, to heart; makes them WISE in God's eyes. Trouble will rain down on your house, and it takes more than "Jesus Loves Me" to scatter those evil beings into outer darkness.

    Apostle Paul was shipwrecked in a storm, gets to land on broken pieces of wood with other sailors. It's freezing so they start a fire. A (snake) Adder, crawls out of the fire and bites Paul. It's a very deadly snake venom. Everybody is waiting for Paul to fall over dead. "No deadly thing..scripture"

    Satan tried to kill Paul and start a party on the beach.

    Point is, Jesus clearly taught us, attempts can be made against our life, by the Devil. To teach others spiritual warfare is "just Old Testament" and not relevant anymore; is heresy.

    Anything written in the Bible is relevant in any time period. Teachers of untruth bear the full weight of condemnation for doing so. Don't expose sheep and baby lambs to wolves, hirelings, or false teaching; false prophesy.

    Christians: know what that Bible says, yourself !!

    YOU prove things said, True or False.

    S Spencer So as to not anger you any farther I will stop replying to this area of commentary, and i am well aware of all scripture you pointed out.
  • S Spencer - In Reply - 2 years ago
    Sister Dianne.

    You didn't anger me or caught me by surprise. I'm direct. I was responding to your posts forwarded to me remember.

    When reading someone's reproof don't imagine them shouting, Angry is a very false accusation when we conversed.

    God bless.
  • Dianne - In Reply - 2 years ago
    S Spencer I understand.
  • Dianne - In Reply - 2 years ago
    Also in your reply about turning from such attacks, if chooses not to believe in God why would she believe in satan, I've known so called christians who believe in God and not satan or the devil.
  • S Spencer - In Reply - 2 years ago
    Hi Dianne.

    She never said anything about being Atheist. In fact She said God is perfect Men Is not. The attack is on the word of God, We're not the only ones who visit this site. What happens if a Kid or young Adult who haven't made his mind up yet get a load of that and no one is willing to rebuke her. The scripture tells us too, in fact a big part of Revelation Ch 2 the Church is found to be at fault for the things we suffer to enter the Church. And also what doctrine and deeds ect.. This is our responsibility to flock.

    Acts 20:28. Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

    1 Peter 5:2. Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;

    The very thing that's beeing attacked is what it takes to reprove her.

    2 Timothy 3:16. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

    It not about condemning her it's about getting her to know this is against God.

    And yes this is a commentary but it's where we search for truth and Jesus is and should be Lord over this Commentary

    This shouldn't be where you get that kind of freedom of speech.

    We shouldnt play by the world rules in our Christian community. Satan is prince of this world and Christ is Lord over his Church. and an attack on the Head of the Church is an attack on the body. So yes it is against me. And it's against the Gospel because the Gospel is the word of God.

    And the commotion is not triggered by the material she presented but the intent behind it.

    This is the official king James website that offers the word of God. you don't get on it by accident.

    God bless.
  • Dianne - In Reply - 2 years ago
    Brother you seem to think that I'm not on Gods side and if I gave you that impression I apologize not my intent so I'll end here and say God Bless.
  • Dianne - In Reply - 2 years ago
    S Spencer I am not disagreeing with you we have different approaches, I choose to let God work on her Heart, besides this is a commentary.
  • Dianne - In Reply - 2 years ago
    S Spencer Sir I never said attack and never intended or implied, satans already lost but perhaps she won't be. This is Spiritual we do not fight against flesh and blood, I will always hive benefit of doubt to the lost. Also this was never anything against gospel or you.
