DID GOD "PURPOSELY" DESIGN THE BIBLE To MAKE IT SEEM CONTRADICTIVE?

Black_Power · (#1 (**permalink**))

TO THE UNBELIEVERS. the reason why i ask because i came across some verses that seems contradictive on the surface, but when i opened my heart, and humbled myself. i realize that the BIBLE was not meant for everyone to understand. case in point, DOES GOD CHANGE HIS MIND? i struggled with this verse for a while, it was exodus 32, where GOD TOLD MOSES to leave him ALONE (keyword) while he destoy the children of isreal, and make moses a new nation. moses does'nt leave GOD ALONE, he pleads to GOD, then god changes his mind. now GOD is all knowing, all present, and all powerful. WHY WOULD GOD ASK MOSES TO LEAVE HIM ALONE WHEN HE COULD HAVE DESTROYED THE ISREALITES With or WITHOUT the plea OF MOSES? HE GAVE MOSES A TEST THAT GOD KNEW MOSES WAS GOING TO PASS! BUt GOD NEVER REVEALED THAT TEST TO MOSES. moral of the story....GOD KNOWS YOUR EVERY MOVE BEFORE YOU MAKE IT WITHOUT YOU KNOWING.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE: JESUS SAYING HE WAS'NT GOOD, ONLY GOD WAS. another contradiction on the surface. it makes it look like jesus is denying his diety to the rich man when he says "good teacher" what must i do to attain eternal life? jesus replied honor your parents, don't lie don't commit adultry and so on. the the rich man says " i have done all those things, what am i missing? jesus replied" you are missing something, without telling him what commandment he missed he says " sell all your possessions and follow me" KNOWING THE RICH MAN lOVED HIS RICHES MORE THAN GOD because the most important commandment is LOVE YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND SOUL. but guess what the rich man went away disheartened. MORAL OF THE STORY: IF YOU THINK OF JESUS AS JUST AS mAn, AND not Fully mAn and FULLY GOD he will reveal himself as though he's a man, and keep you BLINDED FROM TRUTH.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE: JESUS SPOKE IN PARABLES SO THE UNBELIEVERS DID NOT UNDERSTAnD the moral to the stories. that's how he kept the pharisses in the dark.MORAL of the story; THE BIBLE IS A PARABLE, IT HAS hidden truth. it is supposed to appear contradictary on the surface, but you as a finite minded people, should humble yourself, and ask GOD TO REVEAL THE TRUTH2 YOU1

Okay so why did God repeatedly change Pharoh's mind?confused3

Dude was all set to let the pesky hebrews go and God "hardens his mind". Why? Just so he had an excuse to kill off all the firstborn sons and show he was a badman?

After the plagues Pharoah is about to let the Hebrews go. BUT!!

And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go out of his land

Just so God could kill their sons?confused3Anyway this upsets the Egyptains so much they're ready to let the Hebrews go (again).God made the Egyptians sorry and made them like the Hebrews (changing his mind again)

God made the Egyptians respect the people, and granted their request. The Israelites thus drained Egypt of it's wealth.

But wait wait! God changes his mind again just so he can drown them in the sea

I will harden Pharoahs heart and he will come after them

"YOU SEE ME? BAD MAN ME AH BAD MAN!"

spake the lord

As if poisoning the soil, Locusting the crops, killing the sons and taking all the wealth isn't bad enough, when Pharoahs had enough and complies withMoses,God makes him come back vexed again to get drowned in the sea.

Great fun!

Are you sure it was a commndmant the man missed? Why does everyone think of tricks and tests? Could it be that he was supposed to go out as he came in? No material attachments or possesions and follow Jesus' way to attain eternal life, just like what Jesus said but he didn't?

Does this must mean I'm blinded from the subliminals?

The bible speak out against sin and because of that people wish they could find a way to undermanned the Bible. Therefore, every thing that their dunce mind cannot understand they call it a contradiction. For example, the sermon on the mount.

One of the apostle record that it was on the mountain, the other apostle record that it was in the plain.

The truth about the whole thing, Jesus preached the same sermons several places.

TWO FISHES FIVE LOAVES AMONG

The miracle with the bread and fishes, seem like a conflicted story since one said twelve basket of left over was picked up while the other one said it was seven. One said it was five thousand people eaten the other said it was four thousand. But, when we read on we found out that jesus do the same miracle two times.

Four thousand eaten / seven baskets of left overs.

Matthew 14:19 (KJV) And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

Matthew 14:20-21 (KJV)

And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full. [21] And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.

Five thousand eaten / Twelve basket of left overs.

ST MARK SAY IT WAS TWO DIFFERENT

MIRACLE AND NOT ONE THAT CONFLICTED.

Mark 8:18-19 (KJV) Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember? [19] When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.

Mark 8:20 (KJV) And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.

If by "god" you mean the crackers that patched together the bible out of Afrikan legends and European sick lies, then yes. They are psychopathic liars by nature and so everything that they create has sickness at its heart.

" MAN'S WISDOM IS FOOLISH IN THE EYES OF GOD"

I totally agree with you. I feel just the same. I have my own understanding and interpretation of the bible that makes perfect sense to me which most people cant understand when its right in their faces. Ive only come to understand the sayings of the scriptures by clearing my mind of common beliefs and opening my heart.

People have some kind of expectation of what something is supposed to say or mean so when the truth comes along they reject it and see it as foolishness, a fake, a lie, and not correct. They expect to see manifest what is already in their thoughts and so learn nothing new because they are not prepared to accept an opposing answer.

I get so excited when i discover the meaning of things and would love for the people to understand but some people just werent meant to or not just yet.
