The contradictions are only there because of false religion. Gods true Religion the bible will not have contradictions.
There is only one true religion and they are righteous in Gods eyes in all ways. See they think they are following God but don't they are ignorant of God's righteousness.

GEN 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

As I said, these are minor, but they are there.
If your a Christian you don't know Jesus very well.
Tsk tsk, someone is being judgemental with no grounds.
God does not like smoking. sin leads to death, smoking leads to death.
Show me where it says in the bible that smoking is a sin. And there are plenty of things that can lead to death, like bungee jumping or mountain climbing. Are they sins?
2 Corinthians 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God
Spiritual filth. Otherwise soda and prepackaged foods are evil, because they contain harmful chemicals.
Second hand smoke. What gives a person the right to have people inhale a toxin when they don't want it. How many bartenders that did not smoke die of lung cancer. A lot. Why do you think the laws protect the none smoker. Because it infringes on their civil rights to be healthy.
I agree that smokers should be more conscious of other people.
Scripture clearly indicates that it is an unclean practice.
No it doesn't.
So I still stand by my post. If it contradicts the Bible (the teachings of Jesus) it is a false religion.
The base of all Jesus' teachings were morality. If a religion does not teach immorality, it is not against Jesus' teachings.
Just because a religion has a different perspective on God doesn't make it contradictory.
If Jesus won't do it I am not to do it. Jesus is still with us he promised us he would be with us so when you say Jesus couldn't eat a hamburger or drive a car are you saying he is not here with us anymore.
First, what you say makes no sense.
Second, I didn't say that he couldn't, I said that he didn't. So if we should base our lives only on what he did do then we shouldn't do those things.
The gospols taught to know Jesus enough to clearly emulate him or try as hard as I can to be like him.
Yes.
It is not wrong to ask yourself if he would do something.
No but you can't always know. In moral decisions, yes, but saying that you can apply what he would or wouldn't have done to media and entertainment is false.
Would Jesus believe a man made doctrine over the scriptures.
And yet the entirety of your religion is based around man-made doctrine.
For example, the virgin birth, the trinity, the salvation concept, etc.
The Nicene Creed is a man-made doctrine that should not be adhered to as ultimate truth. What it says has truth in it but is always misinterpeted and was written based off the council's perception of God.
We are supposed to ask the teacher if it is ok. How else do you learn.
But you don't pray or ask, you assume that Jesus would or wouldn't do certain things.
And, what may not be a good idea for you to do might be fine for another.
