Actually, that page goes against the Bible right from the start.

BUT - the Devil is in the details. Start reading his links and also read The Case for Faith by Lee Strobel. Do some objective research on your own and then go back and look at that site. You'll start to see all the holes in his logic.

Ok then, so do you know that most of the articles on his page are fall of holes? And do you know for sure theres no contradictions?

Sorry for the questioning, i just wanna be sure. ;)

I haven't read every article he links but the ones I looked at were full of holes :wink:

Actually, the Bible is FULL of contradictions. Any book that long with that many authors and with that many alternative translations will have contradictions. But then we have to ask what those contradictions are and then on an individual basis we have to ask ourselves if we can make sense of them. In my readings, I've never found a contradiction in the Bible that can't easily be explained.

If one book in the Bible says that there were three of some insignificant detail and another says that there were four, does that discredit the Bible? Does it discredit even that story in the Bible? If you say 'yes' to that then you might as well stop reading any historical references because there are inconsistencies in all of them. The Bible has far fewer contradictions than comparable historical documents, and that's a fact...
