Is this a contradiction? If not, what does that tell us about reading and comprehending the messages found in the bible?
The message there is that you must use your judgment when answering fools.
This does not mean that the Bible does not contain contradictions.

Well, post them here, amigo! Let’s see what you’ve got.
PS Don’t ask Heartpence to recommend an atheist website. The one he’s using is terrible.

For God Sooooooo.....loves the world that he gave his son’s life (his life) while we were still sinners, he died once and for ALL.
BUT...if you don’t accept his love, or find it impossible to believe in this amazing God, he will personally burn you alive for all eternity.
If you want contradictions, this is the one you should be dealing with.

John 3:16 continues: "... that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life."
That would disqualify those who don't accept and believe. I guess the gist of it is, God (who stilled Abraham's hand, preventing him from doing the same) sacrificed his son for us. For us to reject him and essentially give him the middle finger? I guess he's not very fond of that.
Did Christ die for the ones who he already knew would reject him to their last breath? That's a matter of debate among titans in the Church, but it seems to me and many others that God wouldn't waste his time sacrificing for them.

Agreed. The bible is riddled with contradictions.
The God of the church is a completely different entity.

I'm curious to see the bible contradictions and I hope they will be laid out in single fashion, complete with at least a small argument in the poster's own words. Meanwhile, I should probably brace myself for a 20 thousand-word copy and paste from evilbible.com ... though really I didn't intend for this to become a "post all your bible contradictions here" thread. I merely wanted to make the point--which the verses posted illustrate perfectly--that what may seem a contradiction at first glance, was intended by the writer to encourage the reader to pause and reflect.

In another thread you admitted not speaking the truth because others will be offended.. this the bible called 'men pleaser'... You then replied with some homosexual insult.
You are are jacka$$ and really should not be trying to ask for the opinions of others unless you know how to be nice and how to manage a thread.
