Re: Problems and Contradictions in the Bible

God good to all, or just a few?
PSA 145:9 The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.

JER 13:14 And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the LORD: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them.

War or Peace?
EXO 15:3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.

ROM 15:33 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.Who was at the Empty Tomb? Is it:
MAT 28:1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

MAR 16:1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.

JOH 20:1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.

Is Jesus equal to or lesser than?
JOH 10:30 I and my Father are one.

JOH 14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.


-----------------Is it folly to be wise or not?
PRO 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

ECC 1:18 For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

1 Cor.1:19: "For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and wil bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent."

-------------------------------Human vs. ghostly impregnation
ACT 2:30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;

MAT 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

Hi Corinthian,
I am not saying you don't have legitimate questions that need answers, I just read some of the ones above you quoted in a different light. For example wisdom In Proverb 4:7 When I read this I understand it as speaking of Gods wisdom.
In the other 2 I understand it to be speaking of man's wisdom vs. Gods wisdom.

Is Jesus greater or lesser than God. I believe Jesus was a very humble man. I believe this was one of the reasons he was born in a stable and not a palace. He was in human flesh and our example and I believe he was saying he was one with the father in the spirit/ in agreement/in essence. He showed he honored the father and the father showed he honored the son.

I know God is real and Jesus is real, Not only because I read it in a book or someone told me , He speaks to me through His word and other ways. I am not upset you have questions. I search the truth to all questions but with a positive frame of mind. I know he is real so I can search with a positive attitude even when I don't understand. Well I know 40 thousand and 4 thousand are not the same, But I can't say the bible is not true or Gods word for their could be a explanation for it that we don't know like a scribe who didn't see the zero because the document was faded from being old. I know that sounds stupid but it could be the reason. I believe the message is intact though. We are talking about numbers here. The 4 legged insects I know they had to have known a insect has more than 4 legs so I have to believe from vs 21 the legs under the feet explain the difference and the meaning on the extra legs under the feet where used for propulsion for leaping and not considered as part of the 4. That to you probably sounds stupid too but they would have known insects have more than 4 legs.
