[QUOTE="Houseman, post: 4166, member: 7"] I don't usually argue with the internet. I assume you copied and pasted that list from somewhere, and didn't just have all those memorized as one would lyrics to a song. The net is vast and infinite, and I am but a lowly mortal. I cannot possibly take the time to refute everything that someone googles up. However, I have had lists of bible contradictions thrown at me before, and I have spent many hours of my life refuting them. Most can be reconciled. Some are utterly inconsequential, such as the number of horses some ancient king is supposed to have had. If you'd like, pick several of your favorites, and I'll see what I can do to explain them. Must we blame the bible for the different sects of Christianity? Do all these sects even claim to be based on the bible? Are the differences between these groups based solely on fundamental disagreements over the interpretation of certain verses? Can those LDS sects be blamed on the Book of Mormon? To be clear: if you are asserting that the number of Christian religions in the world is due to the ambiguity of the bible, I would disagree with this assertion and ask for proof of your claim. However, if you are just asking an innocent question, then I offer mine in response. So why esteem, or even quote from a book so full of "holes and inconsistencies" as you put it? If the bible is a filthy, worm-eaten rag, why display it next to the immaculate silk that is the BoM? Have the LDS cleared up all the inconsistencies and patched all the holes? What do you think led to the bible being in such a sorry state? Do you think that the same thing will ever happen to the BoM? Do you believe that the BoM has some sort of special protection over it? If so, why didn't the bible have this protection? [/QUOTE]
