It's like saying that the Bible was written by one person. It wasn't. People say things differently, or leave out some information (possibly they don't know?), so you won't get the same thing every time, which is why there are five different books on Jesus. John writes in a way that is easy to read, Luke was a doctor and his writing is about as complicated as his field of work. Maybe one heard he bought the land and the other was there for it. We don't know.

I thought they were suppose to all be non contradictory accurate accounts from the Christian perspective. Now your telling me there are errors and contradictions in the accounts?

No, what he is saying is that the book is perceived in different ways just like now with the constitution just how their are original ism and then idealism

Haha, you're funny :)))

Nonintentional mistakes, possibly translators (stupid translators), etc. I'm sure you know the drill. Now why wasn't the Bible originally written in English like all the Evolutionary theory stuff? (yes, I know that English did not exist back then or wasn't popular back then and that Greeks or some 'ancient' peoples also suggested an Evolutionary theory.)

Judas buys the land. Totally different guy takes the money to buy the land after Judas is dead. Was one of these perceivers Mr.Magoo?

Then I take it you don't believe everything in the Bible then?

In case no one knows who Mr.Magoo is.

Thepyro, thanks for having the guts to post this thread. I think there should be at least ONE place christians on this site can talk in peace, for once. Thanks man, I don't think I'd be able to talke the bashing:)

tehpwner, I am extremely sorry (but not really) to inform you that this thread has been compromised by Atheists, including myself.

Then I take it you don't believe everything in the Bible then?

Yes, I do. I take most of it seriously and sometimes assume that things like this mean the same thing.

Sadly, we still get bashed :/

What he was saying was that what I was saying was that though they seem to be saying to different things, they can still mean the same things, just one had a different perspective or a different knowledge than the other had.

Sadly he cannot dictate who views and comments on this thread. And to be clear many of us are not bashing, we are trying to have a reasoned discussion. However, when reason fails we become aggitated with the ignorance SOME people show.

You really can't accept both without running into contradiction, which means you are left with having to deny one of the above statements.

Some forms of Christianity like Mormons believe the EVERYTHING in the Bible is the truth and each word is the absolute truth.  I am a Catholic and I have a very open mind so science.  The Bible is full of metaphors and not everything is straight forward.  It can't be taken at face value, it requires thought.  I don't believe that on the 3rd day God made the Sun or any of that.  I do find truth in the big bang.  But, how did that infinitely small, dense and hot speck get there?
