Judge Not, That You Be Not Judged

In my opinion so-called “Christians” are hurting their belief, by denying the truth.

The truth is there are many contradictions in the bible.

To say there are no contradictions in the bible is ridiculous!

You can’t explain away some of the contradictions with new meanings. It is no wonder so many people get turned off by the religions that profess Christian faith. I came across an atheists site about the contradictions in the bible and thought wow he has nailed some of the ones I have tried to nail. At least he has the boldness to say the obvious. But he is wrong about being an atheist.

What’s the difference?

The difference is there are reasons for the inconsistencies and the contradictions.

The reasons are that there was a concerted effort to include lies in the bible.

No doubt about it.

The conspiracy was to twist the truth and make lies and to try to make Jesus Christ bear it.

The problem is not Jesus Christ

….the problem is the church!

The whole point of having lies in the bible was to degrade the truth and why “Christians” defend lies is beyond me. Why not instead of finding excuses for the discrepancies, tackle them with honesty.

The truth can stand and let the lies fall.

God can handle it!

It’s like when the Pope and all Popes consider themselves infallible. Come on. We all know they are very fallible! It’s their nature to fall as they all have so far. By denying there are problems in the bible is like saying the Pope is infallible.

If you take a different look at the bible (critically) and not blindly embrace everything,

because Peter says we should, is like the blind leading the blind.

2Peter 3:15-16

¹⁵And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;¹⁶As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

The Stone Which the Builders Rejected-PART 1

Peter was only a man! Paul was only a man!

I highly doubt Peter knew what would be included and not included in the “scriptures.”  In fact, Peter (of the book of Acts) did not really know scripture very well as I will show because he misquoted it unless scripture (OT) has been “doctored” to make him seem like he misquoted.

Here is what Jesus told Peter on the third visit to his disciples at the Sea of Galilee:

John 21:18
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdest thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.

I think Jesus meant that Paul was the ‘another’!

John 21:21-23

²¹Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do? ²²Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me. ²³Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?

follow thou me.

I don’t believe that Peter in  the verses of 2Peter 3:15-16

was the same Peter that was the disciple of the true Jesus Christ!

Just like the synoptic gospels used the name of Jesus Christ for ‘their  purpose‘,

I believe that they also used the name of Peter for ‘their purpose‘!

And their purpose was to deceive!

==================================

It’s crazy and does a disservice to God, His Son, to the truth,

to ignore the contradictions.

Since they are there maybe they should be analyzed!

INstead most people are afraid to question….which is stupid.

Most priests and pastors just hop over the contradictions,

because they are afraid

which is even more stupid.

===================================

 

What happens when God asks you, did you defend the truth about Me,

or did you defend the lies about Me?

Are you going to know what to say?

 

We hurt ourselves, prospective believers, the integrity of truth by denying these contradictions and/or making excuses for them.

It is a dishonest gain in the name of “Christianity”. and makes us liars!

I wish I could find a you-tube video I watched of a Muslim man asking legitimate questions of some Christian men about Jesus Christ. It was humorous in a way, because the Muslim man was very animated and excitedly interested.

Basically, the Christian man responded ‘because it is in the bible and the bible is inerrant.’

What was sad about the video was that the Muslim man was sincere in his questions and the Christian man that gave his ‘pat’ answer

was so self-deceived,

and so he deceived a potential believer.

If I run across that you-tube I will re-edit this post and include it.  I hope I find it.

It was priceless!

 

No wonder people like Benny Hinn and all those others (I wont list any more because it is endless) we have seen over the years get so much attention. If we did not allow the lies and distortions leeway, people like Benny Hinn would not even try to be associated with Christianity. But we paved the road wide so anything can pass by not discerning the difference between truth and lies.

 

Perfect case in point:

 

Matthew 7:1

Judge not, that ye be not judged.

John 7:24

Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

 

Me 1:1

Think not, that you be not thought

 

IT’S RIDICULOUS!

What Matthew’s quote in IT’s essence is saying, is don’t think.

It is totally meaningless!

 

While John’s quote is to say to have righteous judgement.

There is a big difference between the two!
