Two must read books for your collection, both by Randel Helms (professor of history at Brigham Young, I believe):

Gospel Fictions
Who Wrote The Gospels?

You said the bible is full of contradictions? Where are they? I have heard people say this before but not really be able to give me any. Many people have set out to disprove the bible and as a result came to faith. I really havent seen contradictions. I would be intrested in hearing what you believe to be contradictions.

in Ecclesiastes it says "the earth abideth forever."

In Peter it says " the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up."

Exodus tells us about the "eye for an eye" principle, yet Matthew tells us to turn the other cheek.

*

Deuteronomy and Leviticus both say it's wicked to practice incest, yet Genesis tells of Abraham marrying his sister, God liking the arrangement, and blessing them with a kid.

*

In Exodus, God says "I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation" yet in Ezekiel we learn that "the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father."

There are more, but I'm tired of typing

I don't get how women would be in a different shape today without the bible. Looks like it messed them up pretty good. They went from a pedastle to the floor.


I you haven't read the book you have very little to offer but your own sermon!

Also, the book starts with a statement to the effect that this is fiction but the facts are accurate.

The bible is nothing if not continuous contradictions. Do some research and stop asking "people."
