30 Obvious Bible Contradictions

I very rarely use Facebook as a means of communicating with people and I have unfortunately received hostility from people whose Facebook messages have gone unanswered. If you send a voicemail or JW Watch email (contact@jwsurvey.org) and your request is urgent, either myself or someone else will attempt to respond. Otherwise, please understand that my time is stretched between my work as an activist and my private life, including my responsibilities as a father and husband. As much as I would like to make myself available to each and every person who reaches out to me, this will only occasionally be possible. I very much appreciate your understanding.
Many years ago, as a child, I often thought, ' Why doesn't Jehovah make what he really wants perfectly clear as the perfect God he is?'. I, of course, never voiced that out loud.
I asked the same question when growing up. Pastors said ..."If you have faith and if you pray enough, god will listen to you and make things clearer". So I did ... and it led me to become an atheist, because I realized..my cognitive dissonance.
My question was : He makes the rules… why did he make the rule that somebody has to die to redeem others?
Perfectly clear......????
What's clearer than, Do Not Eat From that tree....????
Eve did NOT listen to Jehovah, as her husband Adam did the same. They didn't listen why would anyone think that anyone else would. He told Adam and Eve that you will die if you do, that didn't faze them. They still disobeyed........Because they thought that they knew better. The Devil said that they would become like God, knowing good from bad. Jehovah has kept quiet pretty much except for the people that listened to him.
Timothy wrote; All scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness. that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work. (2Timothy 3:16&17)
What happens when your children don't listen to you...????
They get punished....!!!! (most times) This life is a learning experience, let's hope you listen and learn.......or you might have to go off with the goats.
@@cinderella4499 Maybe because he is a jealous and vindictive god? Maybe because he is only driven by his ego?
Have you read The Old Testament? Here you really get to know Jehovah (Yahweh). Jesus was really sugercoating the true personality of god.
Remember that no matter how obvious the biblical contradiction, it can always be “harmonized” by the sheer force of the apologist’s will and through mental gymnastics. This does not mean their solutions are satisfactory for anyone who is skeptical, but they allow for those that already to believe to continue to do so by offering them a good enough answer.
@MrMattSax You comment : "Remember that no matter how obvious the biblical contradiction, it can always be 'harmonized' .........
The bible was not given as a newspaper, or novel to just read and assume it can be understood.
The so called 'mental gymnastics' came from people like Lloyd Evans and yourself if you agree with his failed attempts to explain what he doesn't believe in or understand
Every one of the so called contradictions the fella on here presents can be easily explained, probably not to your satisfaction but to anyone with a bit of common sense and the ability to reason, the explanations are very plausible.
yeah like knowing you are being lied to but to accept it anyway since those lies have been there all the time 😅😅 let the sleeping dogs continue to do so huh
@@MRFITTA I’m curious how your common sense and reason will explain the death of Judas. In Matthew he returns the money, throwing it on the floor of the temple, hangs himself and the priests use the money to purchase the field, earning it the name “field of blood” due to its purchase being made with blood money. In Acts Judas uses the money to buy the field and then falls headlong, his guts spilling out and earning the name “field of blood” because of his death. I’m excited for what won’t be “mental gymnastics” and will instead be “even a bit of common sense and reason” to explain away that one.
@@MRFITTA If the Bible can’t be understood what’s the point in believing in it?
@@doofenshmurts2439 The bible is Gods message to mankind, written by men he inspired( by his Spirit) using language and examples common to the time it was written
Now people who are influenced by the same inspiration( the Spirit of God) as the bible writers can draw from it, be transformed by it and walk with and serve the creator through it.
For unbelievers, skeptics, pagans and the religious, it doesn't make sense, so they either make their own doctrines or ridicule it, and those who believe and understand it.
I have listened to your introduction. First, right off the bat, I checked the verses you mentioned, specifically the one about seeing God. The problem with your answer of "Yes" is that you are choosing just one line and not reading the entire context. That's the problem when we pick and choose a verse when reading the Bible. In Genesis 18:1 (ESV), it indeed says: "And the Lord appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat at the door of his tent in the heat of the day." If you just pick that one verse, one can literally assume that Abraham saw God. But if you go to the next verse, Genesis 18:2, it says: "He lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing in front of him." If you read the entire passage, you will see that these three men are actually representatives of God.
You may not like the reasoning about what version of the Bible you are reading, but it does matter because the Catholic version is different from other Christian denominations. You mentioned that the Bible you used is from your previous Jehovah's Witness religion. I'm not a theologian, but the interpretation of "humans" also greatly affects what you deem to be contradictions. For example, for Catholics, which I was before, salvation is achieved by faith + works + sacraments. But for Evangelical Christians, which I am now, salvation is greatly based on "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast." -- Ephesians 2:8-9.
At any rate, what is the point of this entire video? That the Bible is fallible due to your assumed research based on your interpretations? So, therefore, it is not true? Then, therefore, God or Christ is not true? There are so many who want to debunk the word of God, yet after so many years, it still exists. Why? Because whatever justifications you may have, we will in the end know the truth when we all die. I hope you are right that there's no judgment day because the only thing that will happen to you is you will go back to dust. The alternative is certainly not great. So, I pray for you because, honestly, the religion you came from is not that great, and I can understand why you are probably doing this. Bottom line is, religion has nothing to do with us being saved but the grace God gives you through your faith in Him and your personal relationship with Him. And if I am wrong, that's okay because the worst that can happen to me if I am wrong is that I will just go back to dust. However, the alternative is much better for me than it is for you. God bless you, even if you don't believe in Him. 🙏🙏🙏
Most realistic answer for sure. 100% agree Honestly there nothing to lose in believing Jesus, having faith using evidence ofc. Unless you wanna live your own way and look at how that been working out for us in USA. I watch John Lennox debate with Richard Dawkin. Science really did killed atheism.
How did Saul die?
Saul committed suicide (I Samuel 31:4-6) (I Chronicles 10:4-5).
Saul was killed by an Amalecite (II Samuel 1:8-10).
Saul was killed by the Philistines (II Samuel 21:12).
And none of those are a contradiction. They can all be true.
@@Albertanatorhow can you be killed and kill yourself at the same time?
No,this is not a contradiction.
It's the people's theory of how Saul died.
@@Albertanator
Do you not think the amalekite could have been lying for glory?? Being the fact that David to wished to kill Saul at one point??
The point is that if the bible is the truth and God's word, God should know which was true and only include the truth in the book. The fact that the book states all three is a contradiction as all three can not possibly be true. In order for the bible to be true, it can only include truth, so if it is people's theories or deliberate lies, then the bible is not inerrant or true.
@jianth @Albernator
This is exactly what I have been discussing lately. You can find scriptures to support or discredit almost every doctrine.
Exactly. That is so true.
Interesting book, isn't it?
No, Cheryl, i find the bible not interesting. I find a lot morei interesting what people make of it.
Actually…the only reason you think you can find scripture to support or discredit most doctrine is because you do NOT understand the bible! You do not have the Holy Spirit that gives knowledge, wisdom and discernment! You can be saved and become a child of Christ and get real understanding of the sacrifice of our Lord on the cross, if it is your hearts desire. Otherwise, I’m afraid you will remain in the dark and suffer the consequences.
God bless and I 🙏 the Lord reveals Himself to you and gives you understanding of the gospel and the Word of God.
Maranatha
@@bruderk4257 Now your comment IS interesting and begs, "What do YOU think of the Word of God?"
The beautiful things about the bible is that you can make it mean absolutely anything you want it to mean. With a little bit of interpretation it's a great tool for reinforcing any of your existing views or biases.
If your "self" "cherry-picks" verses, then what you say is true. What the rational materialist cannot grasp is that if you shake the cherry tree, only the ripest cherries fall.
And the experience by those who trust There Is A Bigger Picture, is that among the cherries which fall right where you are, because those are the ripest, the Sovereign Creator of the Universe (does Zeus or Odin, or a FSM really fit your mental picture of an SCU?) will decide which should fall right then, making those the perfect verses for you in your the need of the wisdom or guidance at that precise point in your life.
This is why women in prison often burst into tears (which are the start of their journey to wholeness) when given a Bible and they start reading, with openness and humility, when their soul has put forth the silent plea, "Father-heal me! Show me your will! I'm tired of making bad choices!"
The women's experiences in the White Chair Films on RUclips are a good start in exploring this territory.
Here I am, trying to explain what seeing the color of pink rose is like to a red-green colorblind person. To you I am talking nonsense, because what you would see is a color just as gray as all other grays of that intensity.
I encourage you to read the stories of just what color is "really like," written by atheists who have discovered who I Am truly is.
Colors beyond colors, seen for the first time with new eyes.
If you do shake the tree, it must be with the intent that you will honor and be thankful to He who planted, watered, and nourished it. And trust that if you eat it, you will be transformed, only if you are willing to be. Only then will you taste the true flavor what this experience is possibly like.
That can be any book of you ignore what it actually says
@@kissit012 the I Ching is used by millions as "divination." The materialist says there's nothing to it. The non-materialist says they are shaking the tree.
Not really. That's why we have the Church.
@@kissit012 A pilot who cherry-picks the flight manual, or ignores it's wisdom?
What puzzles me the most is how the concept of "God,"( as to how He must be according to scripture, as regards His nature, his attitude towards His creation, His fairness, righteousness, and holiness) is so absolutely opposite when viewed by atheists and followers.
How can this be? If the hideous thing that god must be is accurately pointed out, who would view it as holy and righteous, and who would wish to emulate it? Why are there preachers who can claim "God Is Love?"
Could the precious newborn you once were, have been created, "lovingly," by such a moral monster?
Idk why I still feel certain apprehension when encountering this topic 😂 It’s as if I’m trying to protect the Bible itself in my head. I did notice some of these contradictions while I was a JW but I guess I ignored them. Time to face the facts!
I kinda understand, as a born and raised JW who literally has never had any good luck and never stopped praying, I now find myself praying Catholic prayers hoping for an answer. Part of me won't stop believing in God but it's interesting that the Bible was not written by God and so it's subject to errors.
You can get to a point when you're curious about what we can know about the Bible as *literature,* or an early attempt at complex *philosophy,* or what can be said about the *true* history underpinning how it was written.
People write for motives of some sort, even if that is just entertaining others.
Everyone feels apprehension when talking about the Bible, God, and Salvation! I think the first thing to think about is there a God? Really only two answers yes there is a personal creator God with a purpose or yes there is an impersonal natural force god with NO purpose! These are the only logical options for truth!
If there is a personal God with a purpose then what is that purpose? Has He revealed it? If so are you obligated to follow? If so have you followed?
You can test yourself? Do you consider yourself to be a good person? Have you ever lied, stolen , etc?
What does it mean if you fail the test? What does it mean if you fail the test and there is a creator God w/ a purpose?
You see all fail the test! However the good news is by Grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, as revealed in scripture alone, for the glory of God alone! We can be saved! We are save by faith NOT works! God calls us to trust Christ, turn from our ways, and show good works as a result of our salvation!
Remember the world hated Jesus snd hates God! The world wants you to not study the Bible nor pray and receive the gift of repentance and faith.
@@holirumicsfriend A slight tweak to your options:
There is a personal God or gods (theism)
There is a non-personal God or gods (deism)
"Gods" are personifications of natural forces and processes.
_"If there is a personal God with a purpose then what is that purpose?"_
There is an ambiguity in this question. A God could exist that has a purpose, and that would have nothing to do with us. It doesn't _necessarily_ follow that a God with a purpose entails _we_ are the subject of that purpose. For instance, a god might have the purpose to fill the universe with as many different life forms as it can before the universe reaches its heat death. That would explain why we are here but there is nothing incumbent upon us by reason of that purpose.
_"Has He revealed it?"_
Why are you using a gendered pronoun? We haven't established this god exists yet, let alone what its attributes are. This indicates that you are smuggling in a subset of theistic beliefs into the conversation without justification. It means you have to revisit your foundation and make sure you are building on what you *know,* not you what presume or believe _a priori_ without justification.
As for whether a god has revealed its purpose, you need a reliable method to determine the truth of any answer you're given. All we have right now are a lot of people making claims about their favourite representation of a god or gods and what _they believe_ is or are the purpose or purposes of that god or gods. How do you get from, "This person claimed something," to "A God revealed something?"
_"If so are you obligated to follow? If so have you followed?"_
A certain German leader (yes, it's Godwin's Law. I'm doing it) had a purpose and obligated his people to follow it. _Should_ they have just because the leader obligated them to? History answers unequivocally, "No!" If a god tries to obligate a person to do something, it doesn't automatically _necessarily_ follow that you _should._ *WHY* _should_ you do what a god obligates?
_"You can test yourself? Do you consider yourself to be a good person? Have you ever lied, stolen , etc?"_
Hey look, it's Ray Comfort's argument. You haven't set up a framework that shows that stealing or lying _necessarily_ makes you a "bad person." In other worldviews, "good" is a balance of what you do and how you behave, not single instances of socially unacceptable, unethical, or criminal behaviour or actions. Please describe where the tipping point is without committing the heap of sand fallacy.
_"What does it mean if you fail the test?"_
You're conflating "testing yourself" with "the test." It doesn't follow that if you "test yourself" there must be "a test." I can test myself on French grammar and vocabulary before my next holiday and it doesn't follow that there is "a test" if I do. I'm just taking stock of my progress in relation to my aims.
_"What does it mean if you fail the test and there is a creator God w/ a purpose?"_
The implicit assumption here is that "the test" aligns with "the purpose." Why? What lead you to that conclusion?
_"You see all fail the test!"_
No. I don't see that, and you haven't shown that.
_"However the good news is by Grace alone,"_
Bald assertion.
_"through faith alone,"_
Bald assertion.
_"in Christ alone,"_
Bald assertion and question-begging.
_"as revealed in scripture alone,"_
Bald assertion and question-begging.
_"for the glory of God alone!"_
Bald assertion.
The 5 Tropes of Agrippa are useful as skeptics' tools:
Dissent � The uncertainty demonstrated by the differences of opinions among philosophers and people in general.
Progress ad infinitum � All proof rests on matters themselves in need of proof, and so on to infinity.
Relation � All things are changed as their relations become changed, or, as we look upon them from different points of view.
Assumption � The truth asserted is based on an unsupported assumption.
Circularity � The truth asserted involves a circularity of proofs.
How many are you falling foul of?
_"We can be saved!"_
How does it follow that failing a test is something that we need saving for? Why not retake the test?
_"We are save by faith NOT works!"_
Bald assertion and question-begging.
_"God calls us to trust Christ, turn from our ways, and show good works as a result of our salvation!"_
I think we all know the objection to that by now.
_"Remember the world hated Jesus"_
The world was largely ignorant of Jesus' existence. He was an unimportant nobody in a backwater of Judea in the first century in an area of largely illiterate peasants.
_"and hates God!"_
Remind me again of the figure for how many people believe in a god. This assertion is pure nonsense. Further, you don't hate what you don't believe is real. Did you hate Voldemort? How about Darth Vader or Darth Maul? How about Sauron? They might have been a bit scary, but you didn't _hate_ them, because they *weren't real.*
_"The world wants you to not study the Bible nor pray and receive the gift of repentance and faith."_
The world is apathetic as to whether or not you choose to "study" the Bible. It doesn't make a blind bit of difference to anybody. What makes a difference is when you act like a Pharisee and make displays of your "righteousness" whilst inside you are full of corruption and every defiled thing. You see, just because I don't believe in God doesn't mean I don't think there can't be some smart points in the Bible. Or the Quran. Or the Bhagavad Gita. For the skeptic, these are all attempts to understand the world and primitive attempts at Philosophy. It follows that there could be points of interest to note within their respective pages, but we'd also expect a whole lot of mis-steps, and frankly, dross to go with it.
Which is exactly what we do find. But the skeptic doesn't have to make excuses for it being there.
@@suheid15 sorry you had to endure the JW’s they don’t preach the gospel! Be careful your Catholic prayers won either. However if you want an answer I believe it is clear…,

Remember God calls us to trust Christ! I suggest you pray for the gift of repentance and for the gift of faith! Then trust in the only one who can save Jesus Christ! No works just faith!
Remember the world hated Jesus snd hates God! The world wants you to not study the Bible nor pray and receive the gift of repentance and faith.
I would add to Example 2 with regard to punishing children for the sins of parents as being the whole idea behind Original Sin, that we are somehow guilty because of what Adam and Eve did, definitionally immoral.
THE REAL, EXISTING, and RAGING BATTLE TO THE DEATH ON PLANET EARTH -
ARROGANT, CRUEL, and HATEFUL HUMAN BEINGS
AGAINST
THE CREATOR and HIS CHRIST
ACCORDING TO BILLIONS and BILLIONS of ARROGANT, CRUEL, and HATEFUL BUDDHISTS, CHRISTIANS, HINDUS, MUSLIMS, ATHEISTS, AGNOSTICS, etc. -
1. the Creator is worthless, useless, and undeserving to be honored and obeyed as the Most High and Sovereign God
2. the authority and teachings of Jesus Christ about the "Kingdom of God" and "Resurrection of the Dead" are worthless and useless, no value whatsoever in their own lives and existence
ACCORDING TO JESUS CHRIST -
all loving, kind, and respectful human beings who submit to his authority and believe his teachings about the "Kingdom of God" and "Resurrection of the Dead" will be rewarded and honored by the Creator with ETERNAL LIFE and existence without sufferings, griefs, sickness, and deaths on a safe and peaceful earth without arrogant, cruel, and hateful persons, without liars, slanderers, hypocrites, murderers, terrorists, and criminals.
ACCORDING TO THE CREATOR -
all loving, kind, and respectful persons will not remain as worthless and useless dusts on earth forever after their deaths, instead, in his own right time, he will let Jesus Christ resurrect them back to life together with loving, kind, and respectful human beings who died even thousands of years ago like Abel, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, King David, the Christ's disciples, and many others so they can live and exist again on a safe and peaceful earth as submissive and obedient subjects of the "Kingdom of God" and fully enjoy his and his Christ's eternal love, kindness, generosities, compassions favors, and blessings for eternity under the loving rulership, guidance, and protection of his Chosen King and Ruler, Jesus Christ.
@Jaflen Bond Well, it sounds like you're having a stroke so I'll just say if God wants respect, he should be worth respecting and not just demand it under threat of death.
@@PsychoRenegade07 Arrogant, cruel, and hateful human beings who worship the enemy of the Creator, the arrogant, cruel, and hateful Satan the Devil and preach the LIES and false teachings of the enemies of Jesus Christ about Armageddon, hellfire, Trinity, rapture, and reincarnation are nothing but worthless, foolish, and shameless human beings who are just bringing upon themselves their own disgrace, dishonor, shame, downfall, painful and ETERNAL DEATHS, just worthless and useless dusts on earth forever.
Loving, kind, and respectful human beings who submit to the authority of Jesus Christ and believe his teachings about the Kingdom of God and Resurrection of the Dead will be honored and rewarded by the loving, kind, and merciful Creator with ETERNAL LIFE and existence without sufferings, pains, griefs, sickness, and deaths on a safe, secure, and peaceful earth without arrogant, cruel, and hateful persons, without slanderers, deceivers, liars, hypocrites, murderers, terrorists, and criminals.
Original Sin does not Teach that God finds us Guilty of Sin because of Adam and Eve. It says We are Born with a Nature Inclined to Sin. That's not the same Thing. Nor do Any Churches Disagree on this Point, so that 45 Thousand Denominations Routine is absurd. While there are disagreements on the Exact Nature of Original Sin and Some Churches even reject original Sin, None teach that God says We are Guilty due to Adam and Eve's Sins.
Also, the Punishment of Ones Children to the Third and Fourth Generation is not saying They are punished forte Sins of their parents or grandparents even though they did no Wrong, it explicitly says to those Who Hate God, and says this Will Stop if they repent and Turn Again to Him. it is referring to Families continuing in Violating Israel's Laws, and thus being Excluded from the society due to ongoing refusal to Obey the law, and is not saying because your grandfather sinned God finds You Guilty.
@SK Wills Nice try but no. Original Sin is a direct extension of ancestral sin. The idea is the sin of Adam and Eve is inflicted on all the descendants. The formalized version of this was developed by Irenaeus. Read the Wikipedia article on Ancestral Sin. The Bible does in fact give contradictory positions for ancestral sin. Exodus 34:7 says God will not leave the guilty unpunished and will punish children and the children's children for the sin of the parents. Nothing about simply the children not loving God. Then Deuteronomy 24:16 says the parents are not put to death for the children nor vice versa, each pays for their own sin. I know Christians painfully try to square the circle with these verses but the answer is obvious. A perfect God didn't inspire these laws and simply the writer of Deuteronomy had better morals than the writer of Exodus.

A couple of years ago I had a very interesting conversation with a friend who is a religious historian, concerning quite a few oddities within the Bible. One which I found particularly intriguing (and funny) was about the stark difference between the First Epistle of John and Book of Revelation; a difference which is part of the modern scolarly argument, by some scolars, that these particular scriptures are not likely written by the same person.
My friend does not think so:
"Oh, those scriptures could very well have been written by the same person with say 20-30 years in between. It would make complete psychological sense and be very human. The First Epistle oozes salvation for everyone - that`s like the benevolent Grandmother embracing all the grandkids on monday morning, before Mum and Dad takes off on vacation - whereas Revelations is almost an acid trip of pure anger and fantasy of vengeance - being the same Grandmother on thursday afternoon, at wit`s end, exausted, and having lost all illusions, standing on a chair in the living room, shouting: "You little s...s; you just wait till your Parents hear of this; you won`t be able to sit for f......g week!!!"
Hahahaha! Thank you! Your example is exquisite 😂
I wonder if your religious historian friend has an explanation for the number "40" cropping up so frequently in the bible?
I caught part of a radio programme and a biblical scholar said that they didn't have a word for "many" so settled on "40", hence it raining for 40 days and nights, Jesus wandering for 40 days and nights in the desert, the exodus wandering in a (small) desert for 40 years, and as many fairy tales go back a long way, possibly why Ali Baba had to deal with 40 thieves.
@@pineapplepenumbra It gained cultural significance as numerology gained prominence, and the authors copied each other. These manuscripts weren't written in a vacuum.
@@RustyWalker Fair point.
As a man called to preach 37 plus years ago, and specifically called unto Prophecy, this is not a hard explanation at all, the very first verse in Revelation states that God [Himself] gave Revelation to Jesus, who gave it to John his disciple, via visions and angels words. So, John took dictation, if you dictate another mans words he is the author of the book, its that simple. There are 1200 *ANDS* in the book of Revelation for a reason, John was being shown visions and told what to write by Angels, but in a sped up ordeal, that is nothing like a man thinking to himself what to write. In other words if I told you to write what you saw on a TV screen/Movie over a 3 hour period, it would look nothing like a book you would contemplate writing about the same subject, you would get your cues from the TV screen via what you saw and heard.
And by the way, the book of Revelation is easy to understand, for those who know the Old Testament, out of 404 verses 289 have old testament lingo/verbiage. For instance, the Woman in Rev. 12 with the Sun, Moon and 12 stars at her feet can be identified by looking at Gen. 37:9, where we see Joseph dreamed a dream that the Sun (Jacob), Moon (Rachel) and 11 (his brothers) stars would pay obedience unto him, this the Sun, Moon and 12 stars = Israel.
Jesus told his disciple why he spoke unto them in parables, so they hearing and seeing would understand, but the world hearing and seeing would not understand. So, trying to understand God is not possible until one humbles themselves and seeks God with all of their hearts. Hint within 10 years Jesus will be ruling, HINT the Anti-Christ has been in the world over 40 years. HINT Apophis will be God's Wrath. HINT the Rapture will happen in the fall of 2025. So people will get a huge surprise, but no one flies of to heaven, we will simply die, our Spirits go to heaven. So when you see One Billion people die (only 5 of the 10 Virgins are taken) then you can remember this, that will be the Rapture. Then get right with God, and you may die, be killed, etc. but you can still make heaven. It amazes me that people love this evil, barbaric world, its lunacy. One Billion babies slaughtered. The Days of Noah Jesus said will be what its like when he returns, so what happened then? Men were wicked, as they are today.
I really liked the video! It was videos like this that pulled me out of Jehovah's Witness indoctrination. My process of "waking up" was due to perceiving contradictions in the bible. Jehovah's Witnesses emphasize not to watch criticism of the organization, but they don't say much about watching criticism of the bible, specifically 🤷🏽♂️ so I "nipped it in the bud" and I didn't look out for a Christian religion to follow. (I think it's important to say that I respect those who believe in it).
THE REAL, EXISTING, and RAGING BATTLE TO THE DEATH ON PLANET EARTH -
ARROGANT, CRUEL, and HATEFUL HUMAN BEINGS
AGAINST
THE CREATOR and HIS CHRIST
ACCORDING TO BILLIONS and BILLIONS of ARROGANT, CRUEL, and HATEFUL BUDDHISTS, CHRISTIANS, HINDUS, MUSLIMS, ATHEISTS, AGNOSTICS, etc. -
1. the Creator is worthless, useless, and undeserving to be honored and obeyed as the Most High and Sovereign God
2. the authority and teachings of Jesus Christ about the "Kingdom of God" and "Resurrection of the Dead" are worthless and useless, no value whatsoever in their own lives and existence
ACCORDING TO JESUS CHRIST -
all loving, kind, and respectful human beings who submit to his authority and believe his teachings about the "Kingdom of God" and "Resurrection of the Dead" will be rewarded and honored by the Creator with ETERNAL LIFE and existence without sufferings, griefs, sickness, and deaths on a safe and peaceful earth without arrogant, cruel, and hateful persons, without liars, slanderers, hypocrites, murderers, terrorists, and criminals.
ACCORDING TO THE CREATOR -
all loving, kind, and respectful persons will not remain as worthless and useless dusts on earth forever after their deaths, instead, in his own right time, he will let Jesus Christ resurrect them back to life together with loving, kind, and respectful human beings who died even thousands of years ago like Abel, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, King David, the Christ's disciples, and many others so they can live and exist again on a safe and peaceful earth as submissive and obedient subjects of the "Kingdom of God" and fully enjoy his and his Christ's eternal love, kindness, generosities, compassions favors, and blessings for eternity under the loving rulership, guidance, and protection of his Chosen King and Ruler, Jesus Christ.
I had the opposite experience,I watched schoolers belief dismantling arguments against the bible,but that didn't change by indoctrination as a JW, Pillowgate was the final straw,I showed it to all my JW family and friends and disassociated! Different strokes for different folks I guess,the snarky anti-bible stuff just comes off as cocky,almost to belittle anyone as a simpleton who leaves the org,but like billions around the planet still belive in God/the bible.
The Bible is one of the most unique things ever created by man,even diehard skeptics agree. The Watchtower is a creepy mind control cult that's been around for 150 years,you can't conflate the two.Thats like saying "Let's show people how Jonestown is a cult or David Karesh,to begin let's examine the bible..." sounds nuts!
@@goldni4429 As I said, I respect Bible believers because I was one myself, and I know how bad it is to be mocked for it, yet we have to listen to criticism. But it is an extremely contradictory book. I started to see problems in the bible before I saw it in JW theology, so much so that I came to think the absurdity that, although bible wasn't right, the witnesses had the best interpretation. Today I have completely changed my thinking, but that's how I started my journey as a skeptic, unbeliever, agnostic atheist.
I admire you for saying you have respect for believers. It's a shame Loyd has taken such a condescending attitude towards his fellow apostates that still profess faith in Christ. The Jungian ego death that accompanys the dissolution of belief upon awaking for the cult is a rebuff that few can surmount,hence the rejection of Christianity by ex-JW's. The profundity of spurning the uniquely human capacity for spirituality is an abdication of of humanity itself. Just sayin 🤷 food for thought Cedars.
A JW accused me of cherrypicking Bible verses, even though I was the one insisting on reading whole chapters for context... apparently, when WT does it, it's totally okay.

Thank you so much Lloyd. As always, thank you for all the work and time you put into your videos. ❤
Yeah LLamaoyd, Your a real scholars scholar. Hi Carly did you catch my rebuttal? If you thought LLoyd's video was research intensive and informative you should read my rebuttal to it. I actually shows the whole verse and some context. A novel idea, right?
I'm a sinner in need of a Savior. One has been provided. At no cost to me but at a great cost to Him. I'll cling to the childlike faith that Jesus died and rose again for me. Yes, I believe.
Yes child like, don't grow up, continue believing in your fantasy
1. If God loves you, how can he have prepared a special hell for you if you don't believe?
Therefore, hopefully you can agree that hell cannot possibly be the work of God; that's just too unbelievably wicked.
2. If there's no hell, there's no need for salvation.
From there on out, you have to save yourself.
Back in 2020 I used to support the idea of the trinity, but after watching many online debates I zoomed out of the whole argument and thought:
“Why would there be a discussion whether it is true or not?! This whole argument proves that there is strong contradictions”. I stopped the nonsense and stopped believing.
If God hates those that lie and those that shed innocent blood then he must really hate the Governing Body.

@@jaflenbond7854 Then what on Earth has silly Matthew 5:18 got to do with any of this?
And what authority? What did He even do with His authority in the Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve, Spanish Inquisition, or slave trade? The latter as endorsed by numerous priests.
And is this ultimately about the demiurge, or not.
He also hates his own chosen people who frequently lied and were commanded by him to slaughter innocent people regularly
And himself
When you’re taught not to think critically, these issues don’t exist.
One thing I notice on every video, post, tiktok or whatever that points out biblical contradictions, the comments from Christians fall into one of 4 categories:
1. This guy is misleading you and trying to divert you from what it really says. He's twisting the verses and cherry picking them to make the Bible look bad.
2. WHAT ABOUT THE CONTEXT???!!! You're not reading the verse in context.
3. That was never supposed to be literal. That was a metaphor.
4. You will meet a swift and painful end when God comes to judge you for mocking his word and criticising his word. You are blinded by Satan. You deserve eternal torment. Who are you to question the word?
Funny how the talking snake is literal but God creating evil is a metaphor. It's almost like no one knows what is literal or metaphorical and people interpret it any way they feel. To paraphrase Aron Ra, "The bible is absolutely literal, except where its metaphorical and nobody seems to know where those boundaries are or they move whenever they're inconvenient or when it's necessary to defend the faith."
Keep up the great work Lloyd.

You could easily made the list of contractions twice as long! All my life (71 years) I have heard from Christians how inerrant and infallible the Bible is. I have never found the Bible they are referring to - all the ones I have seen have errors, contradictions and failed prophesies.
read these passages carefully and pray to the Lord to give you the Spirit of Truth according to His Grace. because this clip presents a twisted truth or lies
Jehovah's are false believers and satanists and you are an open satanist.
here are your first ten paragraphs, if you want the rest tell me.
and tell me if I'm wrong.
1. No one has seen God and cannot because he will die. That is why God, by His grace, shows Himself in a possible form as a man or a voice or in a vision, etc.
read carefully
2. non-Christians when they believe in Christ received salvation by faith (called and chosen). if they continue to do anti-Christian acts then they become hypocrites and fall away. we are judged by deeds because people do deeds - good or bad - God's or Satan's
3. a righteous man is one who lives according to the commandments and laws and does not sin.
most believers are not righteous, that's why they suffer. God Jesus suffered because Satanists forced him to break the Law on the cross. read carefully
deut21-23
4. one part is the punishment of sons and daughters during life and the other part is about the punishment of physical death. they are not the same punishments. read carefully
5. 7 pairs of clean animals and 1 pair of unclean animals. Read carefully
6. a name error in many Bibles. Merchab is childless, but the woman with 5 sons is Merab, her sister. Read carefully family tree
7. the words destruction and devastation are not the same.
this earth and this heaven is not like a new earth and a new heaven.
8.the first part is for torture after death.
the second part is the death of sinful man while he is alive and the new birth of the sinless in the Spirit while he is still alive in the flesh in world.
repentance and a new heart
9. sacrifice is allowed to the True God but not to false gods and demons and Moloch etc
10. one measure is individual and the other is collective
That and the fact that the God of the bible is a psycho

Torturestakexion! 😁
Funny as it may seem, you still acknowledge and find amusing that either the Jews or the Romans drove spikes into an innocent man's hand and ankles. And this method didn't just happen once to make a dramatic story for an ancient story book. Perhaps you will be crucified someday for your free beliefs and helping those who don't have as much as the bloated wealthy of the world. Or maybe you are one of the bloated. Your a soft resident of America where capital crime results in a sleepy time injection or riding the lightning for 25 seconds. Crucifixion took hours and often was executed so the convicted would hang over night to encourage desert vultures to roost over them in the morning and begin eating their flesh that had begun to turn cold from lack of blood flow. I can see how you and Jeffrey Dahmer would be amused by that. And how is he doing these days? Still not like being crucified.
Errors found in the Bible.
51. Duration of the Egyptian Captivity: Exodus 12:40 states that the Israelites were in Egypt for 430 years, whereas Galatians 3:17 suggests a period of 430 years from Abraham to the Law, implying a shorter stay in Egypt.
52. The number of Israelites leaving Egypt: Exodus 12:37 states that about 600,000 men left Egypt, which would suggest a much larger total population including women and children. This number is sometimes questioned based on logistical and historical grounds.
53. Destruction of Jericho: Archaeological evidence has been debated regarding the timing and existence of Jericho's walls as described in Joshua 6.
54. The age of Terah when Abraham was born: Genesis 11:26 mentions that Terah was 70 years old when he became the father of Abram (Abraham), but Genesis 11:32 and Genesis 12:4 suggest a discrepancy in Terah's age and the timing of Abraham's departure from Haran.
55. Jesus' lineage through Joseph: The Gospels of Matthew and Luke provide different genealogies for Jesus, complicating the understanding of His descent from David through Joseph, especially since Joseph is not considered His biological father in Christian doctrine.
56. David’s census: 2 Samuel 24:1 says God incited David to take a census of Israel, while 1 Chronicles 21:1 attributes this incitement to Satan.
57. The number of the beast: While most manuscripts of Revelation 13:18 record the number of the beast as 666, some ancient sources record it as 616, leading to debates about the correct number.
58. Saul’s interaction with the Witch of Endor: 1 Samuel 28:6 states that Saul could not receive answers from God, yet he seeks a medium in 1 Samuel 28:7-20, which is seen as a contradiction of divine communication rules.
59. The inscription on the cross: The Gospels differ on the exact wording of the inscription placed above Jesus on the cross. Matthew 27:37, Mark 15:26, Luke 23:38, and John 19:19-20 each provide slightly different versions.

66. Judas’ remorse and repayment: In Matthew 27:3-10, Judas returns the 30 pieces of silver to the chief priests before hanging himself. Acts 1:18-19, however, does not mention this return of money but describes Judas buying a field with the payment and dying there.
67. Duration of reigns of kings: There are discrepancies between Kings and Chronicles regarding the ages and reigns of several kings of Judah and Israel, such as the lengths of reigns and the ages at which they began to reign.
68. Paul and the Law: In Acts 21:24-26, Paul participates in Jewish purification rituals, which some see as inconsistent with his teachings in his epistles about freedom from the Law for Gentile converts.
69. Discrepancies in genealogical lists: Various genealogical records, such as those in Genesis, Chronicles, Ezra, and the Gospels, sometimes show different names and lineages, leading to questions about their accuracy and consistency.
70. Timing of the birth of Jesus: The Gospels of Matthew and Luke differ in their accounts of the timeline surrounding Jesus' birth. Matthew mentions the reign of King Herod, while Luke places it during the census of Quirinius, creating a potential chronological discrepancy.
71. Number of years between the Exodus and the building of Solomon's Temple: 1 Kings 6:1 states that 480 years passed between the Exodus and the construction of the Temple, but other biblical chronologies suggest a different timeline.

These are examples of perceived discrepancies or contradictions in the Bible that have been the subject of discussion and debate among scholars, theologians, and critics. Interpretations and understandings of these texts can vary widely depending on one's religious or academic perspective.
I often feel that "true" believers (in any extraordinary claim/belief) suffer from a combination of cognitive dissonance and what could be thought of as Stockholm syndrome. It's always hard, for anyone, to hold conflicting ideas simultaneously. A mature, reasonable way to deal with this is either using critical thought to determine the most likely explanation/idea, or to accept that there is not sufficient evidence/reason upon which to reach a conclusion. However a "true" believer will not/can not allow either of these conditions unless they seem, somehow, to agree with the conclusion they have reached.
Pointing out contradictions. errors of fact, magical thinking to such a person is seen as an attack. Though their mind is actually held captive, controlled, and often exploited by this belief system, they will stand up/speak up in it's defense. Many will attempt with, expertly crafted apologetic fervor, to squelch any spark that might ignite a small fire of doubt/logical thought about the actual content of the Bible that they believe to be perfect.
That Humanity have believed the bible for so long, is really depressing.

Mostly by force, coercion, lies, torture, prison, death, threats, and brainwashing. So not much of a choice for many

You are so dramatic. It’s depressing?! Brother talk to someone who knows the word and everything is true. If chose your pride then so be it, I can’t help you there
@@bdavis1902 A freshly brainwashed victim of stupidity???Congrats!!!!!!
Ive been studying the bible with JW's for over 13 years now, never been baptized or a publisher before..
I just wanted to say thank you for putting this together and for making it very clear/organized/detailed. These questions among others have plagued my mind for the longest time and are the very reason I've remained "undecided" or "an indecisive one". New subscriber here btw 😊
Get away from an all controlling cult! If you want to be a better person or something, there are so many other belief systems to engage. Look around. Educate yourself with research. Stay away from cults!
The human sacrifice was pretty sinister. I could never really accept the JW explanation of the fate of Jephtah's daughter.
I have chated with people who rejected that he killed his daughter. I had to start with the end of the story where it said he did what he vowed. Then point out in the beginning he vowed to sacrifice as a burnt offering who 1st come from his house.
I read that as a child, and it was scarring. I was so angry at god for not stopping it. Then again, god hates women.
@@defenestratefalsehoods that’s chilling.
Did God command him to kill his daughter? Should God have used to divine intervention to stop her from walking through the door? If you make a superstitious vow to God and then do it when the scenario plays out like you pictured, is that God's fault?
@@johnroemeeks_apologetics seeing how God saved abraham son from the sacrifice he could have done the same in this story. So god either wanted it carried out or was powerless to stop it. Seeing how god helped with the war efforts, I would say he wanted it to happen.
I think most Biblical scholars, even Christian Biblical scholars, would acknowledge that there are contradictory opinions expressed by the authors of Bible.
The contradictions in the Creation and Flood stories do have an explanation in that there is more than one narrative of each story interweaved by an editor or editors. They can be separated into individual stories that are each internally consistent.
Mythical, but internally consistent within each separated story.
But then, those separated stories contradict each other in their details.
How many animals entered the ark is also an anachronism. The dietary laws regarding clean and unclean animals wouldn't be "given" for centuries, showing the story was written a lot later than the events it claims to write about.
@@RustyWalker The intrinsic problem with regard to this matter of contradictions, though, s that this holy book is supposed to be the Word of God. If I were God (hehhehehheh) I would NEVER allow my Word to be subjected to so much speculations and misinterpretations, least of which the crazy cult would NEVER be able to.lay hands or sight on my Word. My God, it is My Word! As human as we are, we defend our essays robustly. No one is allowed to misquote us, especially publicly. The fact that he is allowing it, speaks volumes. The Man is either impotent or it ain't His Word.
@@cherylseebreth328 That position is inerrantism. An alternative is that "inspired" means "guided," but that leads to the muddled mess Lloyd described. Doesn't seem appropriate for an all-powerful God to accept a muddled mess as *the* way to know Her and upon which actual salvation (from Her own retribution, no less) hinges.
Gen 1 does not contradict Gen 2. Like you said...different stories. Gen 1 creates the whole. Gen 2 creates a private garden and it's caretakers.
@@zamiel3 Perhaps you'd like to have a swing of the problem of Cain and see how you resolve that.
After Cain kills Abel in Gen 4 and God says what his punishment is, what does Cain say?
The chapter tells us, '13 Cain said to the Lord, “My punishment is more than I can bear. 14 Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.”'
Given Seth hasn't even been born yet, and Adam and Eve wouldn't have "other sons or daughters" until he has, is Cain afraid that his mother, or his father, will find and kill him? They're the only two humans alive, so it has to be one, or the other.
I'm currently investigating my faith (currently JW) and check the bible for its integrity. This video was really helpful! I've taken notes of the verses and will check them with their context. I hope I can get an objective view about the bible.
Hope youve figured it out by now. If it's taking you more than 3 months to figure out the fairy tale is just that, then you might need the brainwashing and dictatorship of religion to keep your idiocy from hurting others.
It was an interesting choice for God to decide to write a book, but to not decide to be a good writer
You should look MATH in Quran. It's crazy how accurate this book is!!! ALSO Science in Quran VERY accurate

@@EbonAvatar You are a BIG liar. There is no book with math/science/religious like Quran with 0 contradictions. YOU ARE LIAR!!! With and without LIES, Christianity DIES!
@@onyil0688Surah al Bukhari 3199 lol get out of here man you believe the sun prays to Allah😂😂
I honestly wonder what the writers of the Bible were smoking before or during the scribbling of the so-called "Word of God".
lloyd held nothing back 🙏 thanks for the examples man! i’m definitely going to reference these
"Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself. I am large, I contain multitudes." - Walt Whitman
"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may well concern himself with his shadow on the wall." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
So then would it be safe to say that, perhaps, at the beginning of humanity when Satan went AWOL and Adam and Eve commited the original sin, Jehovah was just going to the 5 stages of grief cause his 'children' didn't want shit to do with him and rebelled. Just repeating that cycle over and over and the inconsistencies are because he was struggling with what to do with humanity. Is it also safe to assume that the last books of the bible that were written ars the most accurate information regarding his wishes? Idk, I'm high and rambling
That's a reasonable view for a human being to take. The issue, I'm sure you are aware, is the inerrancy claims surrounding the bible. Since we are discussing the contradictions in the bible and not a human being, your comment seems misplaced.
The usual bs
It's one thing for a creative writer to be inconsistent, but it is quite another for a supposedly inerrant book of God's eternal rules to contain contradictions.
EXODUS 24: 9~10 : "Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel went up and saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was something like a pavement made of sapphire, clear as the sky itself."
1 JOHN 4:12 : “No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us.”
The BIBLE: Yes, NO , YES, NO, YES!!!! No, YES!!!! The bible doesn't agree with itself.
Lmao you said it man, I want to get it I just don’t and never had I just try to be a good person.
Also at the end of every parable and story someone always get screwed
The Old Testament has just weird stuff-
God wrestling with Jacob in the desert, and dislocating Jacob’s hip.
God “hardening” Pharaoh’s heart. Why? Because “God” is a bad screenwriter!
God trying to kill Moses in the wildness. Really! Please see Exodus chapter 4, verses 24-26, and completely unrelated to anything before or after in that chapter.
The bronze serpent in the book of Numbers.
I just looked that exodus verse up that’s crazy I never knew God tried to kill Moses in the desert.
In my honest opinion. The bible is a copy and paste job of multiple different papyrus, manuscripts and scrolls from multiple different cultures and tablets, all refering to different god's and ET's, and someone decided to merge it all together in a book. Archeology is proving there was multiple god's , foreign artifacts confirming events in the bible but not the way the bible has written it (think of William Pierre and the 10feet stele he found back in the 1890s), and the bible was faffed about by Constintine and his pals to bring fear mongering into the people
There is not your opinion - It's a well-known opinion of Bible "critical analysis" - more the 200 years old of these conclusions)))
When I was growing up, my dad was very christian. I tried my best to be a part of it, mostly because of threats of hell, but it still all seemed so stupid. I even faked speaking in tongues with everyone else so I didn't stand out. At some point I asked my dad why I didn't feel the spirit like everyone else, he told me I just needed to read my bible more. And that's the thing: the more I read the bible, the less I'm inclined to believe any of it. How do people not notice this stuff? If you point it out to them, they downplay it as a mistranslation or a misinterpretation, or God's divine logic is beyond human ken. Seems like if you're going to devote your life and surrender your agency for something like that, you'd want your founding document to be consistent and epistemologically bulletproof. The straw that broke the camel's back for me was when "Pharoah" suddenly had hundreds of horses for chariots days after God killed all the animals in Egypt. I don't know how anyone could read that and not at the very least stop for a second and wonder where they got new horses. Religious people have poor reading comprehension.
Also when you're a kid, and you see all the adults in church start acting like they're having a seizure/orgasm and shouting gibberish, it does things to your head. It is a traumatic experience. I'm sick of being called a bigot for being vocally anti-christian. These people are insane and dangerous, and exposing kids to that kind of trauma is child abuse, full stop. The government only gets involved when they get so high on their own bullshit that they stop giving their kids necessary medication because "god healed them" and they die.
Thank you for the homework Lloyd, I seriously never thought there would be contradictions but then, I've never read the whole Bible. Thank you!
As a JW they have this Bible reading schedule you can download off their website and the elders would say if you read 2-3 chapters of the Bible a day you could finish it in a year. And I took that to heart, so I did. And I had so many questions after that but I got baptized and went out preaching and got so many assignments in the congregation I had to push the questions away but it wasn't until the pandemic of 2020 that I finally had the time to find answers and now I'm no longer going to meetings and am working my way out of the JWs. The Bible is one messed up book when you finally see all the parts they don't want you to see.
@@kammy6340 that's so interesting, as a JW I never got to read it but even as a young child I would question why would a loving God destroy even babies just for not being JW. I feel so bad for my relatives who died loyal and faithful JW 😔 even though this video is not specifically about JW and to the family members who are now "returning" I wish they could watch Lloyd 's videos in Spanish. 😔
Hi Suheid, Mr.Evans hasn't read the whole bible either and until YOU do with prayer and a contrite heart don't take any man's (or woman's) word about what it says or means. Anyone can read the bible but only the spirit gives discernment towards it's meaning.
Mr. Evans is a tainted man and is now rebelling against the Creator because of the lies of a man, Joseph Smith.
At the beginning of this video, Mr Evans speech sounds almost exactly like the one the serpent had with Eve in the garden. 'Didn't god say this and that and it doesn't really mean that. How could it mean that? Here eat this fruit and you'll see how contradictory it is' Nothing but evil surrounding Mr Evans. And evil doesn't want to go to eternal darkness alone.
@@motomedic72 you are being sarcastic, right?! If you’re serious, I want you to re-read what you wrote, 10x a day for 28 days. Let me know what you figure out.
@@persephone342 no thanx. I stand by my comments. I know people try to separate Mormon and JW but both religions attempt to do the same thing. Add to or take away from the bible for their religious purposes. If you meant something else, then I guess you should re-read what I wrote 280 times
I find it hilarious how many people are in this comment section saying you just don't understand the bible. The bible is literature with all kinds of different authors and genres. It's also been translated a ton of times into many languages. On top of all that we don't have any originals so really don't know what any of it originally said. So you then claim that you know how to interpret all that because your possessed by a spirit. Sounds totally plausible I'm now a believer. How is this not considered delusional?
Well done Lloyd for the work and time you have put into this video. I have listened to it a few times and I’m flabbergasted at all the contradictions.
I appreciate the intelligent and sensible delivery of your talks Lloyd. I cannot tell you how much you and your so called‘ mentally diseased’ fellow apostates are helping me to find peace of mind and healing.❤
I am taking a Bible as Literature class at college and I just got through the Noah story. As I’m reading, of course we have the two of each drilled into us, I noticed the contradiction. Wait! Seven! What?!
P verses J source - did they cover that in the class? If you haven't come across this, it is interesting. You can pull out two completely different flood stories from this combined story and they turn out to have one with the same approach as first creation story, the other the second. And throughout the Pentateuch.
It's an anachronism. The dietary purity laws come under the Mosaic Law. Another anachronism in Genesis is Abraham having camels.
"Some Biblical texts, such as Genesis 12 and 24, claim that Abraham owned camels. Yet archaeological research shows that camels were not domesticated in the land of Canaan until the 10th century B.C.E.-about a thousand years after the time of Abraham. This seems to suggest that camels in these Biblical stories are anachronistic."
"Did Camels Exist in Biblical Times?" Biblical Archaeology.
@@RustyWalker Yes, and Abraham came from the land of the Chaldees… a thousand years before such a group existed.
It’a not just a matter of using a current name for a past event, because Yahweh is quoted saying “Chaldees”, Genesis 15:7
That's only a contradiction from what you'd always heard because it's easier to say 2 by 2. It is mostly 2 by 2, except for certain animals right?
@@Volleyball_Chess_and_Geoguessr I would think not - I expect one is the J story and the other is the P. Remember the law hadn't been given when this happened anywaty - it is a retro-fit for both of them.
This was awesome! I'm about to re-watch and take a ton of notes for my own cheat-sheet. Thanks, Lloyd!
Hi Eric, I encourage you to take some notes from my rebuttal to Mr. Evans' non-researched rant.
Now, have YOU actually read the bible yourself? Do you always take the word of others to guide you through life. After all, nobody ever lies or shares misinformation or offers 80% complete information. Who is at fault for acting on bad information? The person who heard it and acted or the person who spoke it and walked away?
@@motomedic72 The day that Mr. Evans is non-researched is the day I'll eat Mt. Rushmore a la mode. I have read the bible. I read directly from it EVERY time I'm looking to be convinced of the statements made referring to it. I read it weekly for over 3 decades. The old trope of "oh, well you just haven't read it, that's why you don't get it" isn't going to cut the mustard here. I've read it. Mr. Evans has read the living hell out of it. In addition, he actually used it throughout this entire video and most any video he makes that discusses bible falsities and contradictions. It doesn't take a scholar to only read the first two chapters of Genesis and understand that the two creation accounts do not match. It takes even less of a genius to read the account of the flood and not just laugh yourself into a cramp.
So, you've come here, to troll an ex-JW site, which if you are still active, is against everything you stand for and you should be disfellowshipped. If you're just some rando-christian cruising atheist sites looking for a debate, well, you should take up sewing or something. I don't know where your rebuttal is, so not much value in referring to it, but I've read your comments before. We've clashed before. I wasn't changed or impressed then, I doubt you can say anything to change that now.
I find it interesting that you somehow thought your invitation, laced with insults on how ignorant I must be in order to believe anything other than the bible, would actually entice me. Nobody lies or shares 80% information? Of course they. It's called "christianity". It is built, based, and supported by lying, mistruths, twisted truths, and pure myth. The bible has been PROVEN unauthentic, morphed, translated 5000 ways and no two matching. Bible characters that do not exist in any secular history and even books claimed to have been written by certain authors have been shown beyond a reasonable doubt to be forged, copied from each other, based on folk lore from older religions or myths, and its prophecies disproven. The acrobatics that apologists jump and twist through in order to even remotely make dates, lineage, and even the very existence of a god son three-headed trinity born of a virgin but fathered by his self is astounding. Everything, EVERYTHING, you think you know of the bible as it reads today is just another twisted version commissioned by a political power with an agenda of controlling the masses with fear tactics. If kings or priests didn't like the text or it didn't serve their agenda, it was cut and dropped under the table.
In short, thanks but no thanks. But I would invite you to listen to Bart Ehrman explain a few things if you don't think Lloyd has the chops.
@@Eric_01 Whose head are you gonna eat first? It's Roosevelt isn't it? Just tell me it's Roosevelt.
So I took Mr. Evans' points numbers 5 & 6 and promptly schooled him in his errors. He said he only needed to find one verifiable contradiction to debunk the entire bible. And you indicate in so many words that you subscribe to the same idea about the validity of authorship and truth. So I debunked Mr. Evans. I found one verifiable contradiction in his video that he authored and it is a lie. The whole thing. So you are either a lying hypocrite like him or a blind follower. And if you had read a bible that wasn't reconstructed by the JW or LDS you would have seen his errors as well.
You won't look for my rebuttal because your afraid of what you will find: Another hole in your flawed beliefs and another flawed, blind and , corrupted leader that you have willingly taken up with because you can't stand alone in your blindness.
I am not trolling. Mr. Evans made a PUBLIC video and left it open for comment. He invited scrutiny of his video and I did so with accuracy, reference and truth. Not so much for him but for all the people he is leading into a pit.
My rebuttal is less than 20 hours old. You can find it by sorting the comments by most recent. I dare you.
@@motomedic72 Oh, my. Points 5 and 6? Out of 30? Oh, boy! The flood. It's stupid. But, for the sake of fictional literary accuracy, there isn't any "schooling" you could even offer. No, I'm not going to search around for your goofball rebuttal, you can copy and paste it if it's so goddamn phenomenal. Meanwhile. Gen 6 says two of EVERY KIND OF ANIMAL, and Noah did just so. That's it. Then it changes and starts subdividing one chapter later and changes the count to seven for a certain kind? And Noah did just so...again but different? There's no debate here, it's a twist, change, contradiction, completely different setup. It only makes the possibility of the Ark even more ridiculous by tripling the amount of animals, when even pairs could never ever possibly have fit to begin with. It's just that easy. I literally just read them, right now, each from the bible, nobody dictated it to me or left 20% of the truth out of it. As far as #6 goes, I couldn't possibly care less about it. I don't care, I don't care, I don't care. She had no kids, she had 50 kids, I don't care, the bible is proven stupid with or without Michal's uterus, besides, I still see a contradiction. It's in black and white and doesn't require any twisting by Mr. Evans. Quit being a moron, I dare you.
@@Eric_01 Mr. Evans is still wrong. He offers contradictory rhetoric in an attempt to prove contradiction in someone else's work and he failed. Miserably. It is that simple. He isn't any better than the liars in the JW. Not at all. In fact he may be worse. And boy are you all worked up.
I only did points 5 & 6 because that was twice what Mr. Evans required to show that the whole of the bible was false. So I showed that he was false by the same measure.
And where is Mr. Evans offering for the beginnings of man? What was he seeking that the bible played such an important role? He puts a lot of effort in attempting to disprove something to the masses. If I find a tool that doesn't work for the job I am doing, I just don't use it. I don't go around telling the whole world why it's such a useless tool and point out what it's made of or how it was manufactured or who manufactured it. Mr. Evans is doing EXACTLY what Joseph Smith and thousands of other false shepherds have done in the past. He's an attention hog. OH OH Look at me I know stuff that I can't confirm but you should follow me if you feel the same way. And I'm the moron.😆😆
I gotta say, as far as the life after death is concern, the recent modern day surge of NDEs being reported gives me more hope, than those ancient 66 constantly conflicting books of the Bible does. Now you know that’s sad. Just being truthful here.
I quite agree with you
@@enricochestri There is ZERO scientific evidence to show NDE experience is external to the subject's own mind. We know from personal occasional experience vivid dreams are real. We know from clinical trials lucid dreaming is real. Not a leap to imagine a brain under stress might have a particular mode of highly vivid internal reality creation.
Of course, people brought up in a particular faith are going to imagine details consistent with that faith. That is entirely consistent with what we already know of dreaming and human psychology.
A scientific NDE experiment was conducted a while back wherein operating rooms were outfitted with secret messages on the walls out of view of medical staff. The idea was that someone floating out of their body in a NDE would be able to read these messages and then report back after recovery. Results of the study were negative. No evidence any messages were getting read by NDE subjects.
Thank you for your hard work. Very enlightened with this eye opener.
read these passages carefully and pray to the Lord to give you the Spirit of Truth according to His Grace. because this clip presents a twisted truth or lies
Jehovah's are false believers and satanists and you are an open satanist.
here are your first ten paragraphs, if you want the rest tell me.
and tell me if I'm wrong.
1. No one has seen God and cannot because he will die. That is why God, by His grace, shows Himself in a possible form as a man or a voice or in a vision, etc.
read carefully
2. non-Christians when they believe in Christ received salvation by faith (called and chosen). if they continue to do anti-Christian acts then they become hypocrites and fall away. we are judged by deeds because people do deeds - good or bad - God's or Satan's
3. a righteous man is one who lives according to the commandments and laws and does not sin.
most believers are not righteous, that's why they suffer. God Jesus suffered because Satanists forced him to break the Law on the cross. read carefully
deut21-23
4. one part is the punishment of sons and daughters during life and the other part is about the punishment of physical death. they are not the same punishments. read carefully
5. 7 pairs of clean animals and 1 pair of unclean animals. Read carefully
6. a name error in many Bibles. Merchab is childless, but the woman with 5 sons is Merab, her sister. Read carefully family tree
7. the words destruction and devastation are not the same.
this earth and this heaven is not like a new earth and a new heaven.
8.the first part is for torture after death.
the second part is the death of sinful man while he is alive and the new birth of the sinless in the Spirit while he is still alive in the flesh in world.
repentance and a new heart
9. sacrifice is allowed to the True God but not to false gods and demons and Moloch etc
10. one measure is individual and the other is collective
I thought this way till you realized that if you read something out of context it won’t make sense. It takes a long time to realize that gods book is to be read and studied in its context. Most people won’t understand that.
Enjoyed watching with a glass of vodka with cranberry juice and ice.
It was video's like this that really made me question what I believed,, so thank you and keep making more of these types of videos
I quickly viewed 15 minutes of this, and just as you found the contradictions you can probably google the answers. For instance, the most obvious one is the # of animals entering the ark. Two of each animal entered the ark, but before Christ they sacrificed clean animals therefore seven of each clean beast was entered for that purpose and for food.
If you listen to new testament scholars like Dr Bart Erhman, you wouldn't be surprised at all that the new testament has so many contradictions.
It turns out Mathew is not the first book to be written in the new testament. It's Mark according to old manuscripts unearthed n carbon dated. Paul's letters were the first written books of the new testament and they were written some 20 years after Jesus supposed death.
Imagine my shock when I realized that most Bible scholars are in agreement about this.
Why was this never told in the congregation?. If we don't know or have first hand accounts of Jesus's life and his own disciples didn't write the gospels how can we trust the accounts at all?
This man made book ...has cost so many so much . Glad your exposing .
Can you find any on shunning ?
Look for Lloyd's video titled, "14 Bible Verses That Debunk Jehovah's Witness Shunning".
Yay
Great video, some of these examples I didn't know. You really can't believe everything in the Bible, you have to pick and choose because you keep coming across verses that are contradicted by another verse.
THE REAL, EXISTING, and RAGING BATTLE TO THE DEATH ON PLANET EARTH -
ARROGANT, CRUEL, and HATEFUL HUMAN BEINGS
AGAINST
THE CREATOR and HIS CHRIST
ACCORDING TO BILLIONS and BILLIONS of ARROGANT, CRUEL, and HATEFUL BUDDHISTS, CHRISTIANS, HINDUS, MUSLIMS, ATHEISTS, AGNOSTICS, etc. -
1. the Creator is worthless, useless, and undeserving to be honored and obeyed as the Most High and Sovereign God
2. the authority and teachings of Jesus Christ about the "Kingdom of God" and "Resurrection of the Dead" are worthless and useless, no value whatsoever in their own lives and existence
ACCORDING TO JESUS CHRIST -
all loving, kind, and respectful human beings who submit to his authority and believe his teachings about the "Kingdom of God" and "Resurrection of the Dead" will be rewarded and honored by the Creator with ETERNAL LIFE and existence without sufferings, griefs, sickness, and deaths on a safe and peaceful earth without arrogant, cruel, and hateful persons, without liars, slanderers, hypocrites, murderers, terrorists, and criminals.
ACCORDING TO THE CREATOR -
all loving, kind, and respectful persons will not remain as worthless and useless dusts on earth forever after their deaths, instead, in his own right time, he will let Jesus Christ resurrect them back to life together with loving, kind, and respectful human beings who died even thousands of years ago like Abel, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, King David, the Christ's disciples, and many others so they can live and exist again on a safe and peaceful earth as submissive and obedient subjects of the "Kingdom of God" and fully enjoy his and his Christ's eternal love, kindness, generosities, compassions favors, and blessings for eternity under the loving rulership, guidance, and protection of his Chosen King and Ruler, Jesus Christ.
The great thing about being religious is that believing in things that contradict each other and reality, is not a problem. I can make up reality as I go, and with sufficient retconning afterwards, you wouldn't know the difference.
@@halcyonzenith4411 You can believe scientists that find things that contradict them though and that's fine because science is always changing and learning and growing.
Here's one you missed Lloyd . This one is beyond bizarre I don't remember the exact scripture but I will find it it states that if a man were to rape a woman he's to pay her father 50 shekals and then marry her and he's not allowed to divorce her ever. Imagine that a man rapes a woman and he gets rewarded with a beautiful wife while the woman has to live with this rotten bastard the rest of her life. What if he is also a thief and a murderer? Imagine that find yourself the most beautiful woman you can and then Rape her. And now she's your wife. It's Deuteronomy 22:29
God says in the Ten Commandments that killing is wrong, yet He Himself is the biggest mass murderer in the history of creation... assuming He actually exists.
Assuming God exists He is the one giving the commandments to people. He is obviously excluded from it. Is people who can not kill. God can choose then when to terminate the life of anyone of his creation. In theory, we are his property. He does whatever He pleases.

Thank you for doing these videos ♥️
I was listening to praise and worship music and your channel came up, so I figured why not listen to a few of your examples of the Bible contradicting itself. First let me say I appreciate your kindness in the video. I also understand you are a former JW, which I have learned in speaking to current atheists that many times they have a background of what I would deem as "false religions" (That is for another day and time to break down). Before I came to Christ, I would read the Bible in a way that many of us read the newspaper or even a regular book published in the west. The bible has 66 book - 39 in the OT and 27 in the NT - and I read it on this topical and practical level. I was challenged to read it in the way it was written, an eastern book written in Hebrew (OT) and Greek (NT), filled with eastern idioms and expressions. I also had to grasp the context of what was being said (who is the author of each of the 66 books, the audience, and the time). I also realized that the Bible being Holy Spirit inspired was dictated by man. This is what brings about some conflict with folks when it comes to these apparent contradictions. For instance, in Exodus 33:12-23 Moses pleads with God to spare Israel. It seems that Moses "changed God's mind". However, God is all knowing and in Numbers 23:19 we read that God does not change His mind. Kind of a pickle, right? Not really. We as fallible beings can easily attribute fallible traits to the Infallible. This is referred to as anthropomorphic. On a smaller scale an example I use is when I communicate to my 11-year-old daughter the game of football. She has a limited capacity of understanding the game because of her age and mind (even interest it seems). If she then was to communicate what I said to her to one of her friends (letting her friends know that this is what I said), my daughter is my "mouthpiece" to her friends on my behalf, so what she says in essence to her friends is what I said. Make sense? However, when you look and challenge yourself with scripture - putting forth the same effort to understand it as you do to challenge its validity - you will find that there are actually no contradictions in the Bible. I will take your first 4 examples that I got through. 1. Moses and God speaking "face to face" is an idiom being used in reference to "intimately". God also can appear in the form of Christophanies-pre-incarnate appearances of the Son of God. The Old Testament uses the term angel of the Lord interchangeably with the Lord in reference to these visitations. One Christophany is found in Genesis 18:1-33 when the Lord appeared to Abram in human form. Such tangible encounters with deity are scattered throughout the Old Testament (Genesis 16:7-14; 22:11-18; Judges 5:23; 2 Kings 19:35; Daniel 3:25). 2. This one is not a contradiction but a concession of truth and the obvious. True faith in Christ has evidence or "fruit". Think about love. I can say I love my wife all day. Should my love for her have an identity and an action, or "work" to it? When you read James in proper context you will read that he is confronting those who simply say they believe in God does not mean anything. Many people who struggle with Christians today will say the same thing, right? We can talk a big game but lack any kind of action or proof of that faith and belief. We are saved by faith alone, but the faith that saves is never alone:) 3. Proverbs is beautiful and actually the book of James is seen as a NT version of Proverbs. This is once again speaking the obvious for us as God's children. Yes, we will face calamity is this life, but we will always have God with us, and we have an eternal hope that makes what we endure in this temporary world in the grand scheme seem like nothing. The wicked however, face calamity alone - and even success alone, and have no eternal hope. In comparison, I think you can see the identity of this Proverb. 4. Another "obvious" here and a showing of why we need to read the Bible with proper context. You started out at verse 5 in Exodus 20, when God is giving the 10 commandments. He is laying out what happens to those who disobey His commands and how that sin leads to future generations. God's punishment comes in a way of consequences too. But if you read on to verse 6 (people tend not to keep reading to prove their point, remember CONTEXT) you will read "but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments." This is what is being spoken about in your proof text about God not punishing generations because of their "righteousness" or in other words, obedience. This is really practical thinking. If I sin and do not know God or follow His commands, my family can follow suit of my ways which leads to a place that is not good, this is an identity of God's judgement. Sorry for the long response. Toodles!
Also one of the contradictions he said was the animals on the ark were they 2x2 or 7 if you read the verse it says unclean is 2x2 and clean which are animals that can be sacrificed to be 7 according to Exodus there are 10 animals that can be sacrificed so that would only be 70 extra animals so I don't see that as a contradiction
Thank you for taking time to stand for the truth I didn't even listen to this video because I know the Bible is true I know it is more likely that our understanding falls short than it is that the word would, I just came into the comments searching for one person standing on the truth and I found 1, you thank you for taking a stand God's word is beautiful and healing and puts all of life into perspective no man at any point in life could accomplish that, so wr KNOW it is the word of God

Critical thinking. Thanks for this very informative video. 👍🏽
we never question these conflict ....Really we have been following them blindly 🤭
This really shows how people without having read the Bible cover to cover lacks the capacity to understand the word. Jesus warned us: the measure with which you measure 📐 the same will be measured out to you, love the lord your God with all your understanding, those who have ears to hear let them hear.
Reading the Bible cover to cover you come across some very disturbing material that you NEVER hear from otherwise ardent Christians. Have they actually read it themselves?
After a military victory over the Midianites, Moses is angry with his generals for bringing back too many prisoners. He responds with commands of genocide, mass murder of innocent infant boy children, child sex trafficking and slavery:
17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. 18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
Numbers 31:17-18 - King James Version
Cope those are Clear contradictions .
Exodus doesn't say to sacrifice first born sons; it says to sacrifice first born sheep to redeem first born sons in remembrance of when God killed the first born sons and animals of Egypt.
See Exodus 13: 11-16 specifically verse 15. Verse 14 also says in the future when your child asks you about this tell them about the above...
I don't believe the bible is literal or self consistent or the inspired word of God, but it does not say there to kill your first born sons.
The Bible is like a career criminal who's parents continue to defend & support him.

Mouth dropped; I’ve always had ?’s about certain passages, but quickly dismissed them. I know George Carlin had a great comedy skit on the contradictions of God’s personality according to the Bible; but seriously, this is a well, WELL done video, & I can guarantee there’s more than 30 conflicting passages.
Ppl quickly dismiss this if u’re a staunch believer b/c we’re told such a contradiction is either a metaphor, illustration, or a “point of view” account; but, if u just simply read w/o any preconceived notion, it’s hard to argue w these facts.
I’ve always said (to myself) the Bible both argued for & against The Trinity, & I used to give that outline all the time “Is The Trinity a Scriptural Teaching?”
The CREATOR KNOWS
that he gave Jesus Christ all authority in heaven and on earth
JESUS CHRIST KNOWS
that the Creator is the Most High and Sovereign God who sent him from heaven to earth to preach and teach the "Kingdom of God" and "Resurrection of the Dead" to imperfect, suffering, and dying human beings
ACCORDING TO ARROGANT, CRUEL, and HATEFUL JWs, BORN AGAINS, HINDUS, MUSLIMS, MORMONS, BUDDHISTS, SDAs, BAPTISTS, ATHEISTS, AGNOSTICS, PENTECOSTALS, CATHOLICS, etc. -
1. the Creator is worthless, useless, and undeserving to be honored and obeyed as the Most High and Sovereign God
2. the authority and teachings of Jesus Christ about the "Kingdom of God" and "Resurrection of the Dead" are worthless and useless, no value whatsoever in their own lives and existence
ACCORDING TO JESUS CHRIST -
all loving, kind, and respectful human beings who submit to his authority and believe his teachings about the "Kingdom of God" and "Resurrection of the Dead" will be rewarded and honored by the Creator with ETERNAL LIFE and existence without sufferings, griefs, sickness, and deaths on a safe and peaceful earth without arrogant, cruel, and hateful persons, without liars, slanderers, hypocrites, murderers, terrorists, and criminals.
ACCORDING TO THE CREATOR -
all loving, kind, and respectful persons will not remain as worthless and useless dusts on earth forever after their deaths, instead, in his own right time, he will let Jesus Christ resurrect them back to life together with loving, kind, and respectful human beings who died even thousands of years ago like Abel, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, King David, the Christ's disciples, and many others so they can live and exist again on a safe and peaceful earth as submissive and obedient subjects of the "Kingdom of God" and fully enjoy his and his Christ's eternal love, kindness, generosities, compassions favors, and blessings for eternity under the loving rulership, guidance, and protection of his Chosen King and Ruler, Jesus Christ.
When I quit the JWs I was fascinated with the Socinian belief, that Jesus didn't pre exist his birth in heaven. You really have to go through some hoops to get there (no Jew would've thought that he did) but it makes some sense. The main argument against it is only God could sacrifice himself to make the ransom valid. Chuck Russell decided it only took a man but he couldn't get his body back. I've concluded that Christianity has never been in agreement with itself on very much at all. The JW idea that they've restored first century brief and practice is so silly. They basically say everyone got the gospels and Paul's letters by 60ce and understood them the same way for about 45 years until John died then somehow everyone got confused until the 4th century when they finally decided on the Bible books because they were the ones that agreed with orthodoxy, and yet they didn't espouse JW beliefs.
Can you look into the Septuagint version as it is most close to the Greek? There are some mistakes in translations I've noticed. So just wondering if you can find the same contradictions within the Septuagint.
Babies got curves 😋
Very interesting indeed. Thank you for sharing
man.
Thanks for making this video! I too am a deconverted Christian from the Amish cult. Several of your bible contradictions also were problematic to me once I began my journey of questioning the Bible. Contradiction #16 - Lying - what stood out to me was how in Revelations we are told that “All liars shall have their part in the lake of fire….” But we know that Abraham lied about Sarah not being his wife, and his son Isaac did the same. Also Rahab the Harlot lied to the soldiers of Jericho when they asked her if she had seen the spies from Israel. Yet all these people are glorified highly as Old Testament saints! Are they going to burn in the lake of fire? Apparently lying is a deadly sin unless you’re doing it to please God or promote his cause, or as in the case of Abraham and Isaac, you are his favorites, so God just excuses you on this one!
We all deserve the lake of fire! If we stand on our own righteousness we will perish. That's the point of Jesus! We are not saved for having been perfect since we've been born. We're saved by REPENTING and through the mercy of God can be saved, otherwise repenting wouldn't make any sense since we're already be damned.
@@Volleyball_Chess_and_Geoguessr You are totally sidestepping the issue here! Regardless of your statement “We all deserve the lake of fire” , the verse in Revelations that condemns lying is clear. So if you are a Christian, but then stoop to lying in any form, you have lost your salvation and will land in the lake of fire unless you repent. We see NO example of any of the characters I listed as having repented of their heinous crime of lying. Instead, they are rewarded with either having their life spared (Rahab) when all others were brutally slaughtered, or in Abraham and later Isaac’s cases, the ones they lied to were the ones God punished!!! How’s that for justice? It’s all bullshit and justification in the name of your god.
@@evevangelist5910 What you're saying is ridiculous and really just ignorant. The bible never says the good news is that we're saved by faith in Jesus, but if you've ever lied once too bad you're going to the lake of fire. The woman caught in adultery - Jesus says, go and sin no more. He doesn't say, it doesn't matter you're doomed anyway. God wants us to do right. If we say we're doomed anyway, then there's no reason to change our ways. Jesus gives us the reason to repent. There is just no way in any place of the new testament the message is really that if you've ever lied once you're screwed. That's just not what it's saying.
@@evevangelist5910 The truth is that God wants our hearts ultimately. Rahab's heart was for God, so she was rewarded. It's as simple as that. God knows the truth of our heart.
@@Volleyball_Chess_and_Geoguessr So I’ve answered your religious challenges three times now, but do not see them here. Did you not get them?
What is not a contradiction,is that Jesus died for all of us sinners,many that didn't deserve it..
Not really a sacrifice to really know it deep down. No sacrifice at all.
Wake up God never die for our sins because he created hell ! Go read the final testement the holy Quran
@@User-12947I hell is for the unrepentant..Like Hitler...

Lying is wrong...yes.
See this verse:
Hebrews 6:18, NLT: So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us.
As for those who lies with God:
2 Thessalonians 2:10-11 ESV
And with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false,
There is a major contradiction that I spotted on recently in the book of Hebrews chapter 9:15-18 it says "For a covenant is valid only when people are dead, for it is never in force while the one who made it lives", so this verse claims that a testament is only valid when people are dead, if Jesus is alive then the New Testament is invalid.
“And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.”
This scripture is about the people who died before Jesus came. He came to set the captives free. No contradiction at all.
@@FlatzoidsPerspective No it is not. If there was salvation before Jesus came why would Jesus needed to come? (Jesus never said he came to die for your sin by the way it was Paul of Tarsus who invented that) but that is not the contradiction I was pointing out. The writer of Hebrews points out that if you believe Jesus is alive then your new testament is invalid because the author says that the covenant is only valid if the person that testifies is dead. Moreover the same book says that there is no remission of sin without bloodshed and this is also false because the Jewish text says redemption could be done with some foods. Also in the book of Job says that the dead will never get back to life, so your body resurrection belief is invalid and a contradiction
@@ketsune23 there was not salvation before Jesus this is the whole point. 🤨
Jesus came to die for us and retrieve the keys of eternal life. The people who fixed before Jesus came were now able to return with Jesus to heaven and now us that are in the time after Jesus are able to accept his sacrifice for us with grace either to choose eternity with God or without him. You seem to have a mixed up understanding of the scripture
@@FlatzoidsPerspective You are contradicting yourself and the Jewish text.
Jesus did not come to die for anyone. This is a theological invention of Paul. Judaism never taught we are tainted by the original sin or that the Messiah would come to fix that as a sinless God-human. The understanding of sin and redemption in Judaism is different from Christianity. Sin in the Jewish context is the transgression of the covenant that Moses made with Yahweh the tribal deity of Hebrews. There is no God in the modern Neo-platonic sense of the New Testament in the Hebrew text, in fact, the Old Testament is not a book about God nor it is religious, it was made sacred by Christians in the 3rd century when they started to associate the Father of Jesus with Yahweh the Hebrew deity. There is no belief in eternal life in the Jewish text neither and that is why many Jews started to believe in reincarnation. Jesus did not sacrifice anything. Get rid of that fantasy belief. How can you believe that the Creator of the Universe is someone that needs not just bloodshed to forgive us but also needs to torture to a cruel death his son?? Besides that, the god of the Jews is not the same as the Father of Jesus. Having the need for blood and sacrifices sounds more like a dark magic ritual and witchcraft
@@ketsune23 false here are some scriptures stating you are misinformed.
Psalm 22:16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet
Or how about Isaiah 53:3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Now these are Old Testament many New Testament too if you like?
Weren't the Noah's Ark animals 2 of every unclean AND 7 of every clean animal?
Yes RC51, So groups of 4 for unclean and groups of 14 for the clean.

What many historians have tried to make people understand was that writers in the time period when the books of the Bible were written did not distinguish between fiction and non fiction. There were not separate categories for history and myth and folk tale and religious teaching. There were just stories, and stories were intended to entertain and express ideas that they wanted the listener to remember. Virtually no one could read and those who could read needed to keep their audiences engaged in the story. Stop thinking of the Bible as true or not true. Think about whether the ideas are meaningful in your life or not.
Nice try but I actually do care whether a story is true or not. I'm not an Israelite living in 500 BC. If I want to be entertained, I'll put on Netflix.
@@LloydEvans Some of us do read and are interested in mythology and the themes that they express. Many of these themes do become the basis for movies and theater as well.

I'd like to give God a Book about Genetics, because neither two nor seven of a kind are nearly enough to repopulate a species. But what do i expect... he doesn't even know how he created the universe.
😂😂😂
Wow, you're a genius - you took a book written over 1,400 years, by 40 different authors, written in three separate languages, written from and disseminated over several countries, that is over 1,000 chapters, and you take only two seemingly contradictory sentences for each of your points in order to invalidate the integrity of the Bible???
How utterly oblivious and inept.
Don't blame Lloyd. Your god thought that was the best way to deliver a message.
@@tangerinetangerine4400 Blame Lloyd, the simpleton thought that what I described of him above, was the best way to undermine the reliability of an epic document.
My wife is a JW. She often tells me how I've hurt her feelings or been morbid or just upset her when I say some things.
This is generally when I quote directly from the JW website, their videos, and/or the NWT. It's not my fault that the Bible states their god is a genocidal, mean, evil, and psychotic maniac! (which Jesus had to come and fix his dad's attitude problem...) And it's not my fault that WT teaches women are just helpers and had taught that their "smaller" brains make them 10% less smart than men, therefore unable to be leaders.
Yeah. They suck.
THE REAL, EXISTING, and RAGING BATTLE TO THE DEATH ON PLANET EARTH -
ARROGANT, CRUEL, and HATEFUL HUMAN BEINGS
AGAINST
THE CREATOR and HIS CHRIST
ACCORDING TO BILLIONS and BILLIONS of ARROGANT, CRUEL, and HATEFUL BUDDHISTS, CHRISTIANS, HINDUS, MUSLIMS, ATHEISTS, AGNOSTICS, etc. -
1. the Creator is worthless, useless, and undeserving to be honored and obeyed as the Most High and Sovereign God
2. the authority and teachings of Jesus Christ about the "Kingdom of God" and "Resurrection of the Dead" are worthless and useless, no value whatsoever in their own lives and existence
ACCORDING TO JESUS CHRIST -
all loving, kind, and respectful human beings who submit to his authority and believe his teachings about the "Kingdom of God" and "Resurrection of the Dead" will be rewarded and honored by the Creator with ETERNAL LIFE and existence without sufferings, griefs, sickness, and deaths on a safe and peaceful earth without arrogant, cruel, and hateful persons, without liars, slanderers, hypocrites, murderers, terrorists, and criminals.
ACCORDING TO THE CREATOR -
all loving, kind, and respectful persons will not remain as worthless and useless dusts on earth forever after their deaths, instead, in his own right time, he will let Jesus Christ resurrect them back to life together with loving, kind, and respectful human beings who died even thousands of years ago like Abel, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, King David, the Christ's disciples, and many others so they can live and exist again on a safe and peaceful earth as submissive and obedient subjects of the "Kingdom of God" and fully enjoy his and his Christ's eternal love, kindness, generosities, compassions favors, and blessings for eternity under the loving rulership, guidance, and protection of his Chosen King and Ruler, Jesus Christ.
@Jaflen Bond you should read the latter half of Exodus, and then Leviticus and Deuteronomy, if you haven't.
Unless you agree with women marrying rather rapists (or being killed), killing homosexuals, genocide, slavery AND indenture (not OR but both), selling daughters into slavery, having concubines, etc etc etc etc.
If you agree those things are good because some god ordered it, your statement makes sense. Otherwise, it seems you haven't read the Bible.
@@bortiz11 Arrogant, cruel, and hateful human beings who worship the enemy of the Creator, the arrogant, cruel, and hateful Satan the Devil and preach the LIES and false teachings of the enemies of Jesus Christ about Armageddon, hellfire, Trinity, rapture, and reincarnation are nothing but worthless, foolish, and shameless human beings who are just bringing upon themselves their own disgrace, dishonor, shame, downfall, painful and ETERNAL DEATHS, just worthless and useless dusts on earth forever.
Loving, kind, and respectful human beings who submit to the authority of Jesus Christ and believe his teachings about the Kingdom of God and Resurrection of the Dead will be honored and rewarded by the loving, kind, and merciful Creator with ETERNAL LIFE and existence without sufferings, pains, griefs, sickness, and deaths on a safe, secure, and peaceful earth without arrogant, cruel, and hateful persons, without slanderers, deceivers, liars, hypocrites, murderers, terrorists, and criminals.
good job mate, like your style of how you do things
your 30 scientific inaccuracies from the bible video began my skepticism of the bible and eventually made me an atheist thanks for opening my eyes [:
Learn islam
The Government Body of JS dislike this vide 🤣
A lot of these are not contradictions and a little more digging would've shown you that. Like the number of animals that entered the ark for instance.
They are quite clearly contradictions.
Cop out. They’re obvious contradictions.
@@greganderson2239im an atheist so I'm not trying to defend the Bible. Most of the old testament is just myth. I'm just saying that as atheists, we can't say there are 30 obvious contradictions and then pick ones that aren't even contradictions. There are many obvious contradictions in the Bible. But the animals that entered the ark isn't one of them. There were 7 pairs of clean animals to be used for food. And 2 by 2 for all other animals. That's not a contradiction. What is a contradiction is how all species of animal fit on the ark to begin with. Lol.
Example #6 2 Samuel 21:8 says that Michal "brought up" sons for Adriel and in the same verse says that Rizpah "bare" sons to Saul. Don't bare and brought up mean two different things. If you adopt a child you didn't bare them, but you definitely raised them.
Matt 16:27 Yeshua himself says we will be judged by our works.
