It is your Bible !
Many say many thing about the Bible. Here are some references from it for you to think aloud!
"Paul was the first corrupter of the doctrines of Jesus." -
Thomas Jefferson ."No sooner had Jesus knocked over the
dragon of superstition than Paul boldly set it on its legs again in the name of
Jesus." - George Bernard Shaw .
"The new testament was less a Christiad than a Pauliad." - Thomas Hardy. "If
Christianity needed an Anti-Christ, they needed look no farther than Paul."
Jeremy Bentham (English Philosopher)
"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. The wise are ashamed...." - Jeremiah 8:8-9.(RSV). See how the scribes play their pen in manipulating the Law ( Bible)!.
" Take this book of law.... For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck; while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the LORD; and how much more after my death?.... For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way..." Deuteronomy 26-29: See how Moses predict about future Israelite. They'll corrupt the Law ( Bible)!. The Holy Qur aan confirms it by saying, " They ( Jews ) know not that Allah knows what they conceal and what they reveal? And there are among them illiterate people, who know not the Book, but they trust upon false desires and they but guess." - Al Baqarah: 77'78.
The Holy Spirit, the Bible claims that, came after the departure of Jesus. But verify these verses which say the presence of Spirit even before! That to the Spirit of others and not related to Jesus. Others who carried God's Spirit in them: Numbers 24: Judges 3:10 Judges 6: Judges 11:29 Judges 14:6 Judges 14:19 Judges 15:14 1 Samuel 10:6 1 Samuel 10: 1 Samuel 11:6 1 Samuel 16: 1 Samuel 16:16 1 Samuel 16:23 1 Samuel 18:10 1 Samuel 19:9 1 Kings 22: 1 Samuel 19: 1 Samuel 19:23 " 2 Chronicles 15:1 Ezekiel 11:5 Ezekiel 37:1 Luke 1:35 Luke 2:25.
"Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man." - Numbers 31:17.
And when the LORD thy God hath delivered it into thine hands, thou shall smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword: But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shall thou take unto thyself; and thou shall eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the LORD thy God hath given thee." Deuteronomy 20:13-14.
Please read the following commentary about Mark 16:9-20:"Serious doubts exists as to whether these verses belong to the Gospel of Mark. They are absent from important early manuscripts and display certain peculiarities of vocabulary, style and theological content that are unlike the rest of Mark. His Gospel probably ended at 16:8, or its original ending has been lost." From the NIV Bible Foot Notes, page 1528."This quote raises a very serious issue here, because many Christian cults today use poisonous snakes in their worship and end up dying.
" He said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms..... He told them, "This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day" - Luke 24:44,46. Luke 24:44,46 says that it is written in the Law of Moses (i.e., the Torah) that Jesus will die and resurrect on the third day. Where in the entire Old Testament (not just in the 5 books of Moses that make up the Law of Moses or the Torah) do you have that?! Please show me one Old Testament verse that prophesized about Jesus' third day resurrection?
II Samuel 24 :1
says that God incited David to number Israel .
I Chronicles 21:1
says that Satan incited David to number Israel. God
and Satan are not synonymous.
II Chronicles 36:9 says that Jehoiachin was 8 years old when he became king. II Kings 24:8 says Jehoiachin was 18 years old when he became king. A difference of 10 years.
II Samuel 10:18 talks about David slew the men of 700 chariots of the Syrians and 40,000 horsemen and Shobach the commander. I Chronicles 1:18 says that David slew the men of 7000 chariots and 40,000 footmen.
I Chronicles 9:25 says that Solomon had 4000 stalls for horses and chariots. I Kings 4:26 says that he had 40,000 stalls for horses. A difference of 36,000.
Ezra 2:5 talks about an exile Arah having 775 sons. Nehemiah 7:10 talks about the same exile Arah having 652 sons.
John the Baptist contradicts Jesus.- According to Jesus, John the Baptist was Elijah in his 2nd coming Matthew 17:11. John the Baptist denied being Elijah when the priests and Levites questioned him (John 1:19-21).
Was Jesus put on a cross (Stauron in Greek) Mark 15:11 or on a tree (Ksulon in Greek) I Peter 2:24.
John 3:13 Jesus says that none has ascended into heaven except the son of man who descended from heaven. This contradicts II Kings 2:11 which says that Elijah ascended into heaven.
The Genealogy of Jesus. a) From David to Jesus 41 names (generations) are given
by Matthew: 1
[although he claims
there are 42] as against the 26 names [generations] given by Luke [Luke
:3]. A difference of 15 whole generations in the genealogy of the
same man. Matthew mentions that Jesus was the seed of David through Solomon
while Luke says that Jesus was the seed of David through Nathan [Solomon's
brother]. This is a contradiction as the seed of David could never reach Jesus
through Solomon and his brother Nathan at the same time. According to Matthew
Jesus' grandfather is Jacob [the father of Joseph] while according to Luke it is
Heli.
Non-Existent Prophecies: .
(a) Matthew 2:23
"that which was spoken by the prophets, 'He shall be
called a Nazarene.'" The words Nazareth / Nazarene are not even found in
the Old Testament. Use a word search..
(b) Matthew
27:9-10 In reference to the potter's field being bought with
thirty pieces of silver, quoting Jeremiah in the
Old Testament. This is not in Jeremiah at all..
(c) Luke 24:46 & I
Cor.15:4 After Jesus resurrected, he said, "Thus it is written,
and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from
the dead the third day." This is a non-existent prophecy. There is no
reference to a third day resurrection anywhere in the Old Testament.
Best way to get your choice bride is to rape her or have adultery with her according to the Bible: "If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silvers, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days." (Deuteronomy 22:28-29)
Wives submit to your husbands as if they are Gods According to the Bible: "Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the savior of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. " (Ephesians 5:22-24)
Bible suggests eating human faeces "And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight. And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them." (Ezekiel 4:12-13)
And of course when you eat you need to wash it down with:"But Rabshakeh said unto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?" (II Kings 18:27)
"Look, I am against you!- declares Yahweh Saboath- I shall lift your skirts as high as your face and show your nakedness to the nations, your shame to the kingdoms. I shall pelt you with filth." (Nahum 3:6)
"If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, said the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart. Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it." (Malachi 2:2-3)
"Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls." (Micah 1:8)
"therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall..." (I Kings 14:10)
"At the same time spoke the LORD by Isaiah the son of Amos, saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy lions, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot. And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia; So shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt." (Isaiah 20:2-4)
Proverbs 20:1 "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is a ragingand whomsoever is deceived thereby is not wise. "Proverbs 31:6-7 "Give strong drink to him who is ready to perish, and wine to those hthat be of heavy hearts. Let him drink and forget his poverty and remember his misery no more."
God got tired and rested (Exodus 31:17) BUT ALSO God never rests or gets tired (Isaiah 40:28)
"Now you, if you call yourself a Jew; if you rely on the law and brag about your relationship to God; if you know his will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the law; if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those who are in the dark, an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth--you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal? You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? You who brag about the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law? As it is written: 'God's name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.' Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, you have become as though you had not been circumcised. If those who are not circumcised keep the law's requirements, will they not be regarded as though they were circumcised? The one who is not circumcised physically and yet obeys the law will condemn you who, even though you have the written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker. A man is not a Jew if he is only one outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. No, a man is a Jew if he is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man's praise is not from men, but from God. (From the NIV Bible, Romans 2:17-29)"
"women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. (From the NIV Bible, 1 Corinthians 14:34)" I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. (From the NIV Bible, 1 Timothy 2:12)"
"Then the Lord awoke as from sleep, as a man wakes from the stupor of wine. (From the NIV Bible, Psalm 78:65)"
God forbids the making of IMAGES (Exodus 20:4) BUT ALAS GOD commands that images of cherubim's be made (Exodus 25:18,20)
Jesus said that whoever calls somebody a "fool" shall be in danger of hell fire (Matthew 5:22), yet he called people "fools" himself (Matthew 23:17).
In the Bible some other books are mentioned. The Books are (a) NUMBERS 21:15
"O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is he who repays you for what you have done to us- he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks. (Psalm 137:8-9)"
For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what he has done. I tell you the truth, some who are standing here WILL NOT TASTE DEATH before they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom." -Matthew 16:27-28
"Whoever is captured will be thrust through; all who are caught will fall by the
sword. Their infants will be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses
will be looted and their wives ravished. (Isaiah 13:16)"
"Wherefore it is said in the BOOK OF THE WARS OF THE LORD, What He did in the
Red Sea, and in the brooks of Arnon..." (b) JOSHUA10:13 "...Is this not written
in the BOOK OF JASHER?" (c) I KINGS 11:41"And the rest of the acts of Solomon,
and all that he did, and his wisdom, are not written in the BOOK OF THE ACTS OF
SOLOMON?" (d) 1 CHRONICLES 29:30 - "Now the acts of David the king, first and
last, behold, they are written a BOOK OF SAMUEL THE SEER, and in the BOOK OF
NATHAN THE PROPHET, and in the BOOK OF GAD THE SEER,.." Where are they now?
The only verses in the whole Bible that explicitly ties God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit in one "Triune" being is the verse of 1 John 5:7 "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." This is the type of clear, decisive, and to-the-point verse . However, this verse is now universally recognized as being a later "insertion" of the Church and all recent versions of the Bible, such as the Revised Standard Version the New Revised Standard Version, the New American Standard Bible, the New English Bible, the Phillips Modern English Bible ...etc. have all unceremoniously expunged this verse from their pages. The scripture translator Benjamin Wilson gives the following explanation for this action in his "Emphatic Diaglott" says,"This text concerning the heavenly witness is not contained in any Greek manuscript which was written earlier than the fifteenth century. It is not cited by any of the ecclesiastical writers; not by any of early Latin fathers even when the subjects upon which they treated would naturally have lead them to appeal to it's authority. It is therefore evidently spurious."
