Jesus is THE Truth.

Okay.. so we all know Stumbleupon is a big way to waste our time.. though I found a site on Contradictions in the Bible. This was very interesting to me. I believe if there is no Jesus then we are wasting our time. (Though don't get me wrong, undoubtably there is.) I also believe God will come out as the Truth if indeed He is, so I seek truth. The site posted numerous contradictions, giving a phrase then verses to dispute. [[ I would like to note that in order to be a contradiction, someone must deny the truth of one statement and proclaim the opposite. That will never be seen in scripture, for God cannot deny Truth, therefore He cannot deny Himself. ]] Here are some fabulous examples:

1. How many men did the chief of David's captains kill? 2 Sam 23:8 - 1 Chron 11:11
 Contradiction? Nah.. look it up for yourself. I laughed.. different number of men killed yes, also different chief.

2. Who was Abijam's mother? (nevermind that I dont know who Abijam is.. ill study him later.) 1 Kings 15:1-2-2 Chron 13:1-2
Misspelling. Its Machaah vs Michaiah. You decide if this is enough to claim God does not exist.

3. Was Abraham justified by faith or works? Romans 4:2-James 2:21
Contradiction? Purely vs by vs, yes. Paul is so fun to study to me because he is sarcastic...
  The contradiction is disproven by simply reading one sentence further. God has always saved by Faith btw... He never changes, guys.

4. What color was Jesus' robe? Mat 27:28- Mark 15:17.
 Error? Yes.  Purple vs. Scarlett. Good thing the big saying today is "Nobody's perfect!" or "I'm only human!" Yeah guys, believe it or not, the authors were human. Seeing as the contradiction is not on whether Jesus died or not, or whether He rose from the grave, I think we're still standing on rock solid ground.

5. Is it good to be happy? Proverbs 17:22 - Ecc. 7:3-4.
Contradiction? No. Words of wisdom appeal to certain circumstances.

Many "contradictions" are considered so because :

o  The reader compares one verse to another without continuing the authors' thought.
o  The author misspelled a name, place.
o  Intellectual dishonesty.
o  Comparing the Old covenant to the New covenant. (Rules have indeed changed, thanks to Jesus, the ultimate sacrifice.)
o  Authors compared have different details. (purple vs. scarlette, # 4)
o  The question asked is very one sided. (#5)

I could go further, and undoubtably will. I will continue to seek to disprove my God because He always has, and always will come out on the side of Truth.

Also, be left with this: seek truth! It is important, and very interesting actually, also if you seek truth and are honest with yourself, you will always end up on the right side. I'm seeking truth, even yet, as I have found Him. If you find that you have disproven my God, please don't leave me in the blue.

Thanks for reading,
