So was I until I gladly saw through a lot of the bible and came to the simple child-like realisation that seeing problems in the bible and admitting that it's largely a lie does not affect my faith in one eternal Almighty. As regards the contradiction in Genesis, simple things like the creation of men and women turn out to be an issue... I believe they were created at the same time like Genesis chapter 1 clearly states and not the fabled nonsense in chapter 2 where God apparently didn't even see that a woman was necessary... it is crazy to believe that God who had just created almost everything with a male and female kind would suddenly forget as regards the creation of human-kind to do the same and even ponder as to whether animals could be possible partners for man. Lie: "And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him." (Genesis 2:18-20) Truth: So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. (Genesis 1:27) Ahem, notice how the truth is so much more condensed also! Anyone into law will know what I'm talking about. As a side line for those hardened bible believers... antiquary Hebrew scholars agree based upon what are known as colophons that claim to show authorship and are apparently inherent in the ancient Hebrew script that chapter 1 and 2 are written by different authors, some even claim Adam wrote 2... God wrote 1. ahem, well, even if that is true I don't think Adam's word should be taken over God's! It is quite clear, an all-knowing God would not be confused about the creation of women and certainly wouldn't need to create animals as possible partners to see whether Adam would 'approve' them or not. Be careful brothers and sisters.... don't be deceived by this mystical book... Jesus says himself: "But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way." (Matthew 13:25) "After my departure there will arise the ignorant and the crafty, and many things will they ascribe unto Me that I never spake, and many things which I did speak will they withhold, but the day will come when the clouds shall be rolled away, and the Sun of Righteousness shall shine forth with healing in his wings" (Essene Gospel of Peace) How can anyone think for a moment that the bible is a miracle preserved by God untouchable from the devil... the bible is very much part of the world and as long as satan is the prince of this world it will be very largely controlled by him. If God were to intervene on anything an ancient piece of paper would not be a priority. The devil will have his day: "Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out." (John 12:31) Anyone read much of the Old Testament for example? There are lot of mumbo-jumbo obscure and sadistic writings in there, obscuris vera involvens, truth is enveloped by obscure things. simplex sigillum veri, simplicity is a sign of truth, we know right and wrong, not endless bloodshed which we are taught is correct, why should we let the bible damage our reasoning and reality? adequatio intellectus et rei! When the mind has the same form as reality, we think truth. Only God is truth. fortis est veritas, Gloria in Excelsis Deo. - Truth is strong, glory to God in the highest. It is time to see the light! Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit. - Amos 16:19 Keep well this winter! In truth, Steven.
