That is a bit of a snag for you. Most of the self contradictions in the Bible arise from your claim about what the Bible is.Okay, thanks.
I've seen those "self contradictions," and they stem from Biblical illiteracy, not Biblical literalism.Most of the self contradictions in the Bible arise from your claim about what the Bible is.
... and they would be still needing to keep their bodies intact and without injuries
Here's one for you, show us how it works:I've seen those "self contradictions," and they stem from Biblical illiteracy, not Biblical literalism.
Hebrews 5:13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
The Ediacaran biota.
Not poorly edited books of ancient myths, legends, fairy tales, priestly self justifications, and petty tribal bragging.
We are addressing science here. Facts backed by evidence.
Not how many fairies can dance on the head of a pin.
Do Matthew 10:10, Mark 6:8, and Luke 9:3 contradict?Here's one for you, show us how it works:
"Acquire no gold nor silver nor copper for your belts, no bag for your journey, nor two tunics nor sandals nor a staff, for the laborer deserves his food." --Matthew 10:9-10
"He charged them to take nothing for their journey except a staff–no bread, no bag, no money in their belts..." -–Mark 6:8
So were the disciples to take a staff or not? This minor discrepancy is not a problem for most Christians but it is fatal to literalism. How do you resolve it?
Do you see what's confusing you, Speedwell?Here's one for you, show us how it works:
"Acquire no gold nor silver nor copper for your belts, no bag for your journey, nor two tunics nor sandals nor a staff, for the laborer deserves his food." --Matthew 10:9-10
"He charged them to take nothing for their journey except a staff–no bread, no bag, no money in their belts..." -–Mark 6:8
Alas, there are as many versions of the trinity, as there are sects.
So 1 is more than 1000.Not nearly as many as the number of “theories of evolution”
So 1 is more than 1000.
Got it
So they're only to take one staff, but no more. I see. But if they only had one each, wouldn't that still be "staves" (the plural of "staff")?Do you see what's confusing you, Speedwell?
Notice "a staff" in both passages you quoted?
Not let's see what He really said:
Matthew 10:10 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.
Mark 6:8 And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse:
See the difference?
That's how it works.
Nobody is requiring you to accept anything, but if you want to teach creationism in public school science classes, it has to be science.Then it’s probably a waste of time coming to a Christian website and expecting Christians to accept the knowledge of scientists over the Word of God. Evidence isn’t mandatory for a statement to be a fact, the earth was still a sphere long before anyone could prove it.
From the link I provided:So they're only to take one staff, but no more. I see. But if they only had one each, wouldn't that still be "staves" (the plural of "staff")?
The opposite is true. The defense of them relies on dishonesty and illiteratism if one demands that the Bible is read literally.I've seen those "self contradictions," and they stem from Biblical illiteracy, not Biblical literalism.
Hebrews 5:13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
Very good. In science that would be called an hypothesis, and would have to be tested.From the link I provided:
What is the easiest explanation here? The Lord Jesus allowed them to use one walking staff, just not bring along another (or special) one. In other words, they did not need to go out and buy another staff to prepare for their journeys (thus giving them two or more staves, which Jesus forbade). No, they just needed to bring along the one staff they already had. They did not need to pack a bag with money or extra clothes, either. Bringing along more supplies was unnecessary. The Messianic believers whose houses they would visit, those people would provide for their needs, for “the workman is worthy of his meat” (Matthew 10:10b).
There is one theory of evolution.That’s hardly an honest assessment, it’s a deceitful exaggeration is what it is.

It was the abuse of scripture that made it "gibberish".
Animals existed LONG before Jesus.
Danno often resorts to a uberliteral interpretation of Scripture, probably to parody literalists.I can't help it if Mr Laurier doesn't know the Bible.
