This is just hilarious! Click here and you will find yourself asking why such a partially illogical book that contradicts itself at various occasions, has become the most successful book ever. Here some excerpts from the critique
Bible Precepts: Questionable Guidelines
Compiled by Donald Morgan
Lets start with some Bible flaws:
„A believer can handle snakes or drink poison and not experience any harm. (Note: Many unfortunate believers have died as a result of handling snakes and drinking poison. This kind of assertion negates the Bible as a useful guidebook for life.) „
That’s what Mr. Morgan thinks, or some absurdities like:
„GE 3:1-5 The serpent speaks human language (presumably Hebrew).“
„GE 32:24-30 God takes part in a wrestling match. He wins by injuring Jacob’s hip.“
„NU 22:21-30 A donkey sees an angel, recognizes it as such, and then speaks in human language (presumably Hebrew) to his master.“
„DT 25:5-9 A man has an obligation to produce a child with his brother’s widow. If he refuses, his sister-in-law is to spit in his face in front of the elders.“
„2CH 21:20, 22:1-2 Ahaziah was forty-two when he became king; he succeeded his father, who died at the age of forty. Thus, Ahaziah was two years older than his father. 2CH 21:20, 22:1-2 Ahaziah was forty-two when he became king; he succeeded his father, who died at the age of forty. Thus, Ahaziah was two years older than his father. [Note: Some translations use "twenty-two" here in an attempt to rectify this discrepancy. The Hebrew is clear, however, that 2CH 22:2 is 42. The Hebrew words involved are Strong's H705 and H8147, "forty" and "two," respectively.]„
„RE 14:1-4 Heaven is to be inhabited in part by 144,000 virgin men who have not been „defiled“ by women.“
„GE 38:9 „… whenever he lay with his brother’s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from producing offspring for his brother. What he did was wicked …, so the Lord put him to death.“"
Here are some atrocities:
„NU 31:31-40 32,000 virgins are taken by the Israelites as booty. Thirty-two are set aside (to be sacrificed?) as a tribute for the Lord.“
„DT 28:53 „You will eat the fruit of the womb, the flesh of the sons and daughters the Lord your God has given you.“"
„JG 15:15 Samson slays 1000 men with the jawbone of an ass.“ (Note: an ass is a donkey you perv!)
And here, a WTF!-excerpt:
„JG 19:22-29 A group of sexual depraved men beat on the door of an old man’s house demanding that he turn over to them a male house guest. Instead, the old man offers his virgin daughter and his guest’s concubine (or wife): „Behold, here are my virgin daughter and his concubine; let me bring them out now. Ravish them and do with them what seems good to you; but against this man do not do so vile a thing.“ The man’s concubine is ravished and dies. The man then cuts her body into twelve pieces and sends one piece to each of the twelve tribes of Israel.“
„2KI 15:16 Menahem ripped open all the women who were pregnant.“
„MI 3:2-3 „… who pluck off their skin …, and their flesh from off their bones; Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.“"
Now, the Bible contradictions:
„GE 1:20-21, 26-27 Birds were created before man was created.
GE 2:7, 19 Man was created before birds were created.“
„GE 1:31 God was pleased with his creation.
GE 6:5-6 God was not pleased with his creation.
(Note: That God should be displeased is inconsistent with the concept of omniscience.)“
„GE 2:17 Adam was to die the very day that he ate the forbidden fruit.
GE 5:5 Adam lived 930 years.“
„GE 11:7-9 God sows discord.
PR 6:16-19 God hates anyone who sows discord.“
„GE 18:20-21 God decides to „go down“ to see what is going on.
PR 15:3, JE 16:17, 23:24-25, HE 4:13 God is everywhere. He sees everything. Nothing is hidden from his view.“
„EX 12:13 The Israelites have to mark their houses with blood in order for God to see which houses they occupy and „pass over“ them.
PR 15:3, JE 16:17, 23:24-25, HE 4:13 God is everywhere. He sees everything. Nothing is hidden from God.“
„EX 15:3, 17:16, NU 25:4, 32:14, IS 42:13 God is a man of war–he is fierce and angry.
RO 15:33, 2CO 13:11, 14, 1JN 4:8, 16 God is a god of love and peace.“
„EX 20:14 God prohibits adultery.
HO 1:2 God instructs Hosea to „take a wife of harlotry.“"
„DT 6:15, 9:7-8, 29:20, 32:21 God is sometimes angry.
MT 5:22 Anger is a sin.“
„IS 3:13 God stands to judge.
JL 3:12 He sits to judge.“
„JN 1:1, 10:30 Jesus and God are one.
JN 14:28 God is greater than Jesus.“
“ JN 3:17, 8:15, 12:47 Jesus does not judge.
JN 5:22, 5:27-30, 9:39, AC 10:42, 2CO 5:10 Jesus does judge.
JN 5:22 God does not judge.
RO 2:2-5, 3:19, 2TH 1:5, 1PE 1:17 God does judge.“
Alright then, lets come to the most interesting part- Vulgarities in the Bible:
Hundreds of foreskin stories (someone was surely obsessed),
„GE 19:30-38 Lot’s daughters have sexual intercourse with him while he is drunk and both become pregnant by their father.“
„GE 24:2-9, 47:29 „… put your hand under my thigh, and I will make you swear by the Lord ….“ (Note: This means „put your hand under my testicles,“ which is the manner in which oaths were taken at the time; „testament,“ „testify,“ and „testicle“ have the same root.)“
„LE 15:16-19 (KJV) „And if any man’s seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even. And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even. The woman also with whom man shall lie with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the even. And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean ….“"
„SO 2:6, 8:3 „His left hand is under my head, and his right hand embraces me.“"
And so on…! This was a rather interesting entry, wasn’t it?
A slap in the face GOD!
