“In many ways, those dedicated to removing all potential biblical contradictions, to making the Bible entirely consistent with itself, are no different from irreligious debunkers of the Bible, Christianity, and religion in general. Many from both camps seem to believe that simply demonstrating that the Bible is full of inconsistencies and contradictions, as I have just done, is enough to discredit any religious tradition that embraces it as Scripture. Bible debunkers and Bible defenders are kindred spirits.” BibleBeliefs Book:The Rise and Fall of the Bible: The Unexpected History of an Accidental Book Source: The Rise and Fall of the Bible: The Unexpected History of an Accidental Book
“Like my peers, I believed that the Bible was God's Word written down for me, answering all my questions about who God is and what God wants for my life, from the mundane to the ultimate. Or at least I knew that was what I needed to believe. But that was not what I found when I actually opened the Bible up and looked around inside.” BibleBeliefs Book:The Rise and Fall of the Bible: The Unexpected History of an Accidental Book Source: The Rise and Fall of the Bible: The Unexpected History of an Accidental Book
