I do not have all the answers but i'll try and enlighten you.

And please leave Bible text.

to save time please read from the start of the chapter so you will have a full picture and know what it was refurring to.




Love one another how God has loved you.

lets start with this one, two errors in one verse:

How many Chariot drivers?

1. 700 charioteers (2 Samuel 10:18) - "But the Arameans fled before Israel, and David killed 700 charioteers of the Arameans and 40,000 HORSEMEN and struck down Shobach the commander of their army, and he died there."
2. 7,000 charioteers (1 Chronicles 19:18) - "And the Arameans fled before Israel, and David killed of the Arameans 7,000 charioteers and 40,000 FOOT SOLDIERS, and put to death Shophach the commander of the army."

then this one:

#

No children (2 Samuel 6:23) - "And Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death."
#

Five sons (2 Sam. 21:8) - "But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite" (KJV).

who killed goliath?:

1.David did (1 Samuel 17:50) - "Thus David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and he struck the Philistine and killed him; but there was no sword in David’s hand."

2.Elhanan did (2 Sam. 21:19)- "And there was war with the Philistines again at Gob, and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam."

3. Chronicles 20:5 says, "And there was war with the Philistines again, and Elhanan the son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam."

Arguements regarding bible inconsistencies/errors/contradictions will always exist as there is no full original bible text to provide any authentic answers with.

Unless such a text can be provided, then these inconsistencies/errors/contradictions can never be unequivically answered, and therefore doubt will always remain.

This is why we instead read the Qur'an.

We must first of all know that the entire Bible is corrupted and unreliable and is mostly filled with man-made laws and corruption!
GOD Almighty Said: "`How can you say, "We [the Jews] are wise, for we have the law of the LORD," when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?' (From the NIV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)"
The Revised Standard Version makes it even clearer: "How can you say, 'We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us'? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made it into a lie. (From the RSV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)"
In either translation, we clearly see that the Jews had so much corrupted the Bible with their man-made cultural laws, that they had turned the Bible into a lie!
See Also Deuteronomy 31:25-29 where Moses peace be upon him predicted the corruption/tampering of the Law (Bible) after his death.
The Book of Moses predicted that the Law (Bible) will get corrupted. The Book of Jeremiah which came approximately 826 years after did indeed confirm this corruption.

Nothing you have quoted has any reference to

How we can better ourself?

Howwe canobtain everlasing life?

How can weplease God and what is Gods will for us?

What to do in the time of need?

If you want have petty quarms over (for example) how many children one women had then thats up2 you.Really it isn't that partial to pleasing God.


Who GOD hires No man Fires!

Sorry i havent finished what i had started i've just been distracted recently. It is my personal oppinion the the king James version is the most accurate version from the Bible. People who have bin to see the dead sea scrolls have said it is almost identical to the King James Version. I say almost because of the slight difference that you'll find in any ancientlanguage translation and grammer.

There is a Text that explains the inconsistecies in the Bible

16[/suP]All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

17[/suP]That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

2 Timothy 3:16, 17

It is my own personal oppinion thatthe gospels are a picture of Jesus's life allthrough their own indivisual eyes to give a more 3D view of Jesus life.

As are many other stories in the Bible that are repeated to give a full picture or to show the symbolic meaning to them.




Love one another how God has loved you.

i definately would say that the authorized kjv of 1611 is the most accurate what

you have today is mostly those new hold my mule, inspiration or new age hip

language bibles that change and distort the translation of course you may run into

problems with translation as Mike said or transliteration of words, but Gods true word is still line upon line precept upon precept for those that bare understanding,

and some will never understand because it was written, some will not believe the truth 2 thess 2:10-12, GOD will in turn send them strong delusion that they would continue to believe their lie and make it seem real for them so, maybe its not meant

for some to take in the knowledge that the true and living GOD gives, let them believe their lie, and move foward, the blood is not required to your hand after you have given the warning watchman,

but i have another ?..... if the Bible is not accurate or corrupt, then why do other religions referr to it? or use parts of it DOTHEY NOT NO THAT A LITTLE LEAVEN WILL RUIN THE WHOLE LUMP......... SO IF THRE BIBLE IS CORRUPT OR WRONG THEN THAT LITTLE LEAVCEN MAKE S YOUR BOOK WRONG TOO.......BUT THE BIBLE IS RIGHT, AND THOSE THAT UP HOLD THE LAW WILL BE BLESSED, BUT YOU STILL HAVE TO NOT JUST BE SAVED BUT ALSO COME INTO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH. 1 TIM 2:3&4


Unbelief is Deceit,

THE SEAL OF THE LIVING GOD
THE GREAT SHIELD FROM THE MOST HIGH TO KEEP US IN
THE END TIMES

The Bible can be trusted to some degree. However the people who trust in the bible absolutely cannot be trusted.

Black Christians aka White South Africans. I look at the them the same way, they even practice the same apartheid. Most certainly they domentally and emotionally.

Where are you getting this from?

I don't know what christian denomonations you've bin but it is clear to methat if that was the case they shouldn't call themselves christians. yes their has been some problems in the past but we should be tryinglive by the word of God. God does not discriminate anyone.
