    I ditched religion at 16 when I asked the preacher at the church about the contradictions I saw in the bible. His response was simply "The bible is the word of god and cannot be questioned, you have to faith to accept it without question". I remember discussing it with my grandmother and she said that you need faith to accept it but I had to decide for myself whether or not I believed it. Next sunday I had written down many of the obvious contradictions I saw, chapter and verse and again questioned him, he became agitated, snatched the paper from my hand and told me that I had satan working in me and I needed to get up in front of the entire congregation and proclaim my sin and beg god for forgiveness or forever leave his church. I never set foot into any church again for anything other than weddings and funerals. When I told my grandmother what happened she let that preacher know exactly what she thought of him, using some very unchristian language that I had never heard her use before or sense. She also left that church but joined another in the community. This hovind guy reminds me very much of that baptist preacher.

      My favourite is when he, and others, try to convince people that everything in the bible is true... by citing the bible.
      That kind of circular reasoning would never work for any subject, but for this particularly it's insane. Why would anyone use something that the other people don't believe is anything more than a collection of parables, to prove to those non-believers that it's *more* and is actually the word of an all-seeing, all-knowing, all-powerful deity that is responsible for creating our entire existence? The bible is true because the bible says it's true. Well I say I'm a 15-foot purple chicken Jedi master with lasers for eyes, and you have to believe me, because I'm a purple chicken Jedi master and I say so.

    I spent my first 20 years in a religious cult as a minister son. Every time i questioned a verse (and there were many) id receive the same response that it was not meant to be taken literally. However, every chirch service, after a reading, the layperson or minister would say "this is the word of god". What a crock.

    • @stephengray1344
      @stephengray1344 Месяц назад +4

      @Yehan-xt7cw That's completely not true. Kent is reading the King James, which is a revision of the Bishop's Bible, which is a revision of Tyndale's bible. Which is a direct translation from the original languages (Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic). Though there is a small section of Revelation in which Tyndale's Greek text is actually a translation back to Greek from the Latin Vulgate (which was a direct translation from the Greek). But that's only there because Erasmus didn't have access to any complete Greek manuscripts of that book.
      The original claim that the Bible is the most revised and re-written book of stories in literary history is only true if you consider translation to necessarily be revision and re-writing. Pretty much every translation or revision of the Bible is done by referring back to the texts in their original languages. The only exception I can think of is Wycliff's translation into middle English in the 14th century, which was a translation of the Latin Vulgate because that's all he had available.

      A contradiction is a circumstance where a logical system contains two concepts that cannot coexist with each other. The simplest example being P AND NOT P; that is, an proposition that is simultaneously true and false.
      The Bible lacks contradictions. Certainly nothing in this video holds water. You start with two genealogies, one which ends with a man's biological father and one that ends with his father-in-law. Not a contradiction. Then you come to a question about touching, which is closer to a lost-in-translation detail that clears up the instant you look at the verses in other translations or go back to the original Greek manuscripts and the idioms and phrases of the time. And then you wrap it all up with seven events that were merely not written in sequential order.
      None of these are contradictions.

      Now, as to who met them, that gets somewhat confused. We know it was an angel of the Lord, which is enough of an event that it's not surprising that the reports were confused. Matthew and Mark name a single man, while Luke and John name two. Matthew's account is more poetic, whereas John's is more detailed, so most likely John interviewed the women much more closely on this account. This is in keeping with the themes of their respective gospels; John was always more fastidious on the details of Christ's divinity, whereas Matthew focused much more on the human details.

    As an ex-Roman Catholic, I must admit we weren't raised reading the bible, because the church believes the bible is difficult to interpret, so we're raised on the catechism, a distillation of church dogmas for children. We're not discouraged from reading the bible, but taught that it needs to be read in just the right way! It's a massive book written by multiple authors, and heavy on metaphor and allegory.

      The age of the Earth really isn't a problem for the Bible. Christians back in the 4th century wrote that Genesis 1 was not intended to be interpreted literally. Modern scholarship generally thinks of that passage as being a rebuttal to the pagan creation myths (most of which took the form of the gods reshaping what was already there), rather than being intended to be read as a scientific textbook. It's worth noting that Christians almost universally abandoned the idea of a young earth back in the 19th century (the one exception of any note being the Seventh Day Adventists, who were at the time a heretical offshoot of Christianity), and the Young Earth Creationism of today was a new movement than only really dates back to the 1950s.

With that being said, the presentation of his rebuttal was painful to watch, and follow. There was too much time in setting up his response and very little time he spend on the actual response. Unfortunately, this kind of forum does easily not lend itself to these kinds of topics, especially when the presenter is all over the place.
    He did describe himself as a (Biblical) Literalist, which is probably the most difficult kind of person to have a debate with. I do appreciate folks like Emma and you SciMan, who can tackle complex topics and distill them down to digestible and understandable explanations. Seeing videos like this make me want to re-double my efforts in the classes I lead in Christian Apologetics to emphasize being clear and to the point in responses.
    Also, not being able to say "I do not know" when you are entering murky waters is an acceptable response. I'm not sure that he should have been trying to tackle Emma point by point when his answers were all over the place. When it comes to matters of (any) faith, there are some things that are accepted without understanding - hence the word "faith". However, that is not a mandate to not ask questions or to try to learn about it. Regardless of your stance, I always enjoy learning more about things that I do not understand.

    As a trained theologian, I personally don't give two handfuls of crap if you believe in some sort of higher being or not. Let's just get that out of the way. Honestly, I think the worst thing that happened to the world was Johannes Gutenberg. He allowed the masses to have access to a document that they had no training in and didn't understand. (It would like your garbage man reading the a textbook on how to perform a appendectomy and then deciding she/he could perform it. (nothing against garbage men. It is an honorable job.)) Creationists have completely misread the Jewish and Christian scriptures. The universe was not created in six days. The story is there for three main reasons: a) to remind people that what we see is good b) to remind people that we are the caretakers and we should treat it with the utmost respect and not abuse it and c) to remember to take at least one day off a week because otherwise we will literally work ourselves to death. I won't bother getting into anything else. I have talked long enough. Here is your TL:DR: Creationists are morons.

    I didn’t find kent’s “explanations” very persuasive, but I didn’t find them to be explanations either. Just a smug idiot reading clearly contradictory citations from scripture and then asserting that it _isn’t_ a contradiction because he doesn’t want it to be. Basically just “nuh-uh” to everything. He’s not even _trying_ to explain them, just berating the audience for thinking that contradictions are contradictions. Full blown gaslighting.

      How do I verify that? I've looked for this idea that "father" and "father-in-law" are interchangeable in genealogies. The only places I can find people saying that are when people are arguing these two genealogies don't contradict each other.
      Plus, this only explains the apparent contradiction if that *is* what these two genealogies are actually doing. There is nothing in the text that says they are. It's perfectly possible for these two authors to have different thoughts on these family trees, in which case this is a contradiction. At best, this is a *possible* explanation. Proponents would have to show more than they have done that this definitely *is* the explanation.

  • @thatcoolguy2024

    Hello! I am not a young earth creationist, but I am a Christian. I will try my best to explain these:
    1: “Jesus’ genealogies in Matthew and Luke differ, so this is a contradiction.”
    Anyone who studies the genealogies will immediately notice that the genealogies are stated to be of Joseph, not Jesus. Matthew 1:16 reads, “and Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ,” while Luke 3:23 reads, “Jesus, when he began his ministry, was about thirty years of age, being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli.” Both genealogies clearly state Joseph as the last link of the genealogy, with some separation showing that Joseph was not the biological father of Jesus.
    Most conservative Bible scholars today take a different view, namely, that Luke is recording Mary’s genealogy and Matthew is recording Joseph’s. Matthew is following the line of Joseph (Jesus’ legal father), through David’s son Solomon, while Luke is following the line of Mary (Jesus’ blood relative), through David’s son Nathan. Since there was no specific Koine Greek word for “son-in-law,” Joseph was called the “son of Heli” by marriage to Mary, Heli’s daughter. Through either Mary’s or Joseph’s line, Jesus is a descendant of David and therefore eligible to be the Messiah. Tracing a genealogy through the mother’s side is unusual, but so was the virgin birth. Luke’s explanation is that Jesus was the son of Joseph, “so it was thought” (Luke 3:23).
    2: “Jesus tells Mary Magdalene not to ‘touch’ Him in John 20:17, while later in the chapter (implied in John 20:24 and explicitly in John 20:27) He invites Thomas to touch Him.”
    The Greek word for ”touch” in John 20:17 is ἅπτομαι (haptomai). It can also mean:
    “to cling to,”
    “to hold fast,”
    ”to detain.”
    Jesus’ command to Mary is not about physical touch, but about not clinging to Him or trying to hold Him back. Jesus is not forbidding all touching, as if He were a ghost; rather, He is telling Mary that she must not cling to Him as though He were about to stay permanently. His ascension has not yet occurred, and His presence will soon change. Thus, Jesus is not denying Mary Magdalene any physical contact, but is teaching her that His relationship with His followers will soon change after His ascension.
    3. “Genesis 1 and 2 are differing creations stories and contradict each other.”
    Genesis 1:1-2:3 provides us with a chronological account of what God did on each of the days during Creation Week. Genesis 2:4-25 zooms in on Day Six and shows some of the events of that day. We see no discrepancies here:
    • Adam is created (Genesis 2:7)
    • Garden of Eden created (Genesis 2:8-9)
    • Description of river system in Eden (Genesis 2:10-14)
    • Adam put in Garden and given instructions (Genesis 2:15-17)
    • Adam names some of the kinds of animals (Genesis 2:18-20)
    • God creates Eve (Genesis 2:21-22)
    • Description of Adam, Eve, and marriage (Genesis 2:23-25)
    The particular issue that people have with Genesis 2 is that the order of the creation of man, animals, and trees seems to be contrary to the order stated in Genesis 1.
    Genesis 2:7 describes the creation of man.
    “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.” (Genesis 2:7)
    Following the creation of man, Genesis 2:9 mentions that God created trees, including the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
    “And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.” (Genesis 2:9)
    Then Genesis 2:19 mentions the creation of certain land animals.
    “Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them.” (Genesis 2:19)
    At first glance this seems to be a contradiction because Genesis 1 has the animals and trees created prior to the creation of man; however, both issues can be resolved by an understanding of the original language and the translation process.2 The Hebrew word for formed in both passages is “yatsar”. The New King James Version (quoted above) translates the verb in its perfect form.
    However, this Hebrew word may also be translated in its pluperfect form. In this case, it would read that God “had formed” these creatures, as some other translations have it (e.g. ESV, NIV, etc.) For example, Genesis 2:19 in the NIV states:
    “Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them.”
    This rendering eliminates any problem with the chronology because it refers to what God had already done earlier in Creation Week. This would mean that the plants (Genesis 2:9) and the animals (Genesis 2:19) had already been formed by God earlier in Creation Week. William Tyndale was the first to translate an English Bible directly from the original languages, and he also translated the verb in its pluperfect form.
    “And after that the Lord God had made of the earth all manner beasts of the field, and all manner fowls of the air, he brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them. And as Adam called all manner living beasts: even so are their names.” (Tyndale, Genesis 2:19)
    Hope this answers some of the errors! I love you channels and videos ❤

      OK. I can maybe buy your explanation. But if the translation from Greek or Hebrew or whatever was wrong, it gets translated to something that didn't mean what it mean, why don't Christians correct them? Just change "son" to "son-in-law", and "touch" to "cling to" in the next edition, why Christians don't do that? Most people don't have time to learn Greek/Latin/Hebrew or whatever to learn the original meaning. Also I'm pretty sure if they twist God's words that's a sin, so they should really do that ASAP?

      ​@@haomingjin1617 You’re absolutely right: twisting God’s words is a grave sin (see Deuteronomy 4:2, Revelation 22:18-19). However, that’s precisely why Christians do not rush to “fix” or alter translations on a whim. To tamper with the divinely inspired word in an unfaithful or arbitrary way would be far worse than allowing small uncertainties or variations to remain under prayerful study.
      A translation must reflect what the text says, while interpretation involves explaining what it means. Language is complex, and words don’t always map perfectly across different tongues. Ancient Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic often carry meanings that no single English word can fully capture. Scholars carefully balance accuracy and readability in translations, but decisions sometimes require careful nuance. If Christians recklessly “corrected” every difficult word without scholarly consensus, they could distort the meaning of Scripture rather than preserve it.
      For example, in John 20:17, where Jesus says, “Touch me not” (KJV), newer translations often say “Do not cling to me” because Greek scholars recognize the nuance in the word haptomai. However, this isn’t about “fixing” a mistake; it’s about refining understanding as linguistic knowledge advances.
      Most Christians don’t have the time to learn Greek or Hebrew, and they don’t need to. God has provided the Church with faithful scholars and teachers who dedicate their lives to understanding the Scriptures and helping others interpret them. Christians are encouraged to study various translations, consult commentaries, and listen to trusted teachers to gain deeper understanding.
      Christians believe that divinely inspired word (2 Timothy 3:16) is alive and active (Hebrews 4:12), and its core message is clear and unchanging across all translations: God’s love, the call to repentance, and the truth of salvation through Christ Jesus. While refining translations over time is a careful and legitimate process, treating Scripture as though it needs to be “patched” like faulty software would undermine its authority and dishonour it.
