The problem for gods and prophets is that they can’t resist making specific claims. Those are testable and verifiable. What claims in the bible came true, and which ones didn't?Continue

Wesley replied to Chrissi Ashby's discussion 'Can bible claims be proven true, or proven false? You decide.'"Hi Joni, Welcome to Think Atheist. I think I've seen the evil bible site before..... Here' another bible site you might find interesting.. The Skeptics Annotated Bible http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/"
Joni replied to Chrissi Ashby's discussion 'Can bible claims be proven true, or proven false? You decide.'"I'm new to this site and just jumping in here randomly, so I apologize, but have any of you seen the website evilbible.com? That lists all of the hundreds (thousands?) of contradictions in the bible and lists them by book/scripture. :-)"
elaine kilshaw replied to Chrissi Ashby's discussion 'Can bible claims be proven true, or proven false? You decide.'"Please,please, read 'God Hates, you, Hate himBack-Making sense of the bible, by C J Werleman'.
Some of the claims of the bible contridict themselves.
It is written with a great sense of humour. Anyone who believes what the bible says want…"
CannedAm replied to Chrissi Ashby's discussion 'Can bible claims be proven true, or proven false? You decide.'"I think you're asking about prophecy, so I'll point you to this site: http://www.100prophecies.org/ only as an example of the scripture itself next to a modern-day explanation of how the scripture was fulfilled. I really believe a lot of…"

Shine replied to Chrissi Ashby's discussion 'Can bible claims be proven true, or proven false? You decide.'"I still get a daily horoscope delivered to my email account just for laughs. It's funny how you can really apply almost any day to any horoscope if you really try; by just looking for elements in your day that could pertain to an ambiguous…"
Dave G replied to Chrissi Ashby's discussion 'Did the universe begin with nothing, or have the essential elements of life always been here?'"In addition to what Shine said, it must be said that there is a difference between intelligence and ignorance. If someone is ignorant of a subject, they may be incapable of either properly phrasing a question or comprehending the answer, despite…"
Dave G replied to Chrissi Ashby's discussion 'God stuff'"Frankly, we ought to be able to make choices that harms no one else without fear of reprisal right now. If I choose to have a ham sandwich instead of turkey for lunch, and no one harmed by that choice, why should I fear reprisal?
Sure, that's…"

Mario Rodgers replied to Chrissi Ashby's discussion 'God stuff'"Are you kidding me? There's no free will in either religion OR heaven. If you found yourself in heaven, to be happy you'd have to be forced to forget all the suffering endured by countless innocent people both on earth and in hell. In…"
Cara Coleen replied to Chrissi Ashby's discussion 'Can bible claims be proven true, or proven false? You decide.'"I would also compare prophesies to horoscopes, to further your thoughts on forecasting. Horoscopes are very vague and can apply to just about anyone, on any day, at any time. When I do amuse myself be reading my horoscope, it's often pretty…"
Wesley replied to Chrissi Ashby's discussion 'God stuff'"This is actually what happened... People invented him...and her..and other variations. This is why there are so many forms.

Radu Andreiu replied to Chrissi Ashby's discussion 'God stuff'"Man created God in his own image, not the other way around. So God... actually every god and goddess was created in man's image, if not physical too, surely "spiritually". Humans actually invented God just as Voltaire said.
Surely…"

- I just got to the responses to the questions that you had in return. If I had seen a new discussion on a question, I've left it alone for the moment. I like that you are asking so many thoughtful questions. If you break them out into new discussions like you have, you'll get so many varied responses. That's good for understanding because most of us have different viewpoints and we don't have a "doctrine" to follow. You'll find that we fight amongst each other sometimes too.
I really am not looking to change you, just answer your questions from my perspective. I have a neighbor who is an Evangelical Pastor. We have great times having coffee and he'll say "It didn't quite happen as Genesis tells it did it?" There are thousands of years behind this book with lots of great history. If studies take you away from religion, so be it. If you simply have to alter your view but can hold on to your faith for the happiness it may give you, I'd begrudge you nothing. It's a journey, enjoy the ride! There are people of faith here too that I can direct you to if you want another perspective on a given point. Don't be afraid to ask.

- Hi Chrissi Welcome to TA. If it's Biblical Contradictions that you'd like to discuss, I put up a graph earlier this week here . If I recall correctly it was 432 errors that they have listed and their locations for comparison. It's a PDF file and honestly a bit annoying in how it loads, but it's quite telling. Some of it could be traced back to textual transcription problems, some of it's opinion, but quite a bit of it speaks for itself. Again, Welcome to TA.
