From our friend, SlimJim, who’s been whacking away at the Skeptic Annotated Bible.
Jesus said, “I and the Father are one” (John 10:30). End of contradiction.
People are anxious to find contradictions in the Scripture, but it will not fly. All that it takes is serious study and with the help of the Holy Spirit’s guidance. It is all so clear.
Even when I was an atheist I wouldn’t have asked a silly question like that.
Most supposed contradictions are really just apparent contradictions. My experience is there is always a plausible explanation. They think that they are being smart by bringing up these things. But it never occurs to them that in the two thousand years of Christendom, somebody else hasn’t brought up that same thing and somebody else hasn’t already answered them. It’s ironic that they don’t believe in the Bible, yet they believe in the parts that make it look bad.
Wow thank you for sharing this! I’m a couple of days behind on my blog reading…
Scheduling this later in a couple of hours =)
I find it on my home page for a day in August, but I’m curious to see what WordPress does with it now.

15 views here so far. I’m hoping for more, but WordPress kind of squashed that.
