it is often stated the Bible in a whole is inerrant and the absolute word of God. below is a small sample to show the Bible is not Inerrant and God cannot make such mistakes when revealing events to his Prophet.
--------------------
Methuselah according
to Genesis 5:27, lived 969 years.
All the days
of Methuselah came to 969 years; then he died.
(Genesis 5:27)
And begot
his son Lamech at 187 years of age.
When
Methuselah had lived 187 years, he begot Lamech.
(Genesis 5:25)
Lamech, we
are told in Genesis 5:28-29, begot Noah at the age of 182.
When Lamech
had lived 182 years, he begot a son. And he named him Noah, saying, “This one
will provide us relief from our work and from the toil of our hands, out
of the very soil which the LORD placed under a curse.” (Genesis 5:28-29)
That means, that Methuselah was 369 years of age
when Noah was born and that Noah was 600 when Methuselah died. How can it be,
then, that Methuselah was not in the ark? If the flood waters began to gather
in the six hundredth year of Noah’s life (Gen. 7:11), that is, when he was 599
years old, and he attained the age of 600 while on the ark (he left the ark in
the second month of his six hundred and first year (Genesis. 8:14-18), would
not Methuselah, if he lived to the age of 969 (i.e. completed 969 years) have
to be saved from the flood? but, Ibn
Hazm says, this was not the case; the text states that only Noah, his wife, and
his sons and their wives entered the ark (Gen. 7:7). Thus the text of Genesis
contradicts itself.
--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------
The biographical data pertaining to Moses is arithmetically inaccurate.
According to Dt. 34:7, he died at the age of one hundred and twenty,
Moses was a hundred and twenty years
old when he died, yet his eyes were not weak nor his strength gone. (Deuteronomy 34:7)
After having
left Egypt at the age of eighty (Ex:7:7)
Moses was eighty years old and Aaron
eighty-three, when they spoke to Pharaoh. (Exodus 7:7).
But the
events that occurred between the exodus and Moses’ death covered more than
forty years, if the Torah is to be believed. Ibn Hazm sees Moses as having
sojourned in the wilderness for over a year (Num. 1:1)
The LORD spoke to Moses in the tent of
meeting in the Desert of Sinai on the first day of the second month of the
second year after the Israelites came out of Egypt. He said: (Numbers 1:1)
Before the
onset of the forty years of the wandering (Num. 14:31-34);
31As for your children that you said would be taken as plunder,
I will bring them in to enjoy the land you have rejected. But as for you, your bodies
will fall in this wilderness. 33Your children will
be shepherds here for forty years, suffering for your unfaithfulness, until the
last of your bodies lies in the wilderness. 34For forty years—one
year for each of the forty days you explored the land—you will suffer for your
sins and know what it is like to have me against you.’ (Numbers
14:31-34)
And then,
after the wandering, he waged war against Og and sihon (Num.32:33)
Then Moses gave to the Gadites, the
Reubenites and the half-tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph the kingdom of Sihon
king of the Amorites and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan--the whole land with
its cities and the territory around them. (Numbers 32:33).
Thus Moses
was at least one year beyond the age
of the one hundred twenty. Once again the forger of the Torah erred in his
calculations.
-------------------------
Moses
was eighty years old and Aaron eighty-three when they spoke to Pharaoh.
(Exodus 7:7)
We read Moses
was 80 years old and his brother Aaron 83 years old, 3 years old then him. If we
fast forward to the book of Numbers we read Aaron Passed way when he was 123,
which would make Moses 120
Aaron
was a hundred and twenty-three years old when he died on Mount Hor (Numbers
33:39)
However if we rewind
to Numbers 1:1 and add it to Numbers 33:39, then his would make Moses more then
120?. Also Moses lived through Numbers 34 all the till Deuteronomy 34 and still
remained 120 years old how’s that possible? Are you saying the timeline from
Numbers 34 to Deuteronomy 34 was less then 1 year?
They
spent 38 years!
13 The Lord said,
“Now get up. Go across the Zered Valley.” So we went across it.
14 Between
the time we left Kadesh Barnea and the time we went across the Zered Valley, 38
years had passed. By then, all the fighting men who had been in our camp from
the beginning had died. The Lord had warned them that it would
happen. (Deuteronomy 2:13-14)
Looking at the
time line of Aaron he should of lived longer then Moses? Yet Moses seems to
still remain 120 even though he lived a few years longer after Aaron.
-------------------------
The post-biblical
scared texts of the Jews continue this practice of blasphemy. According to Ibn
Hazm in one of these texts (the Mekhilta according to Rabbi Ishmael) the Jews
forty years of wandering in the desert are explained in his way: on the road
from Egypt yo Syria, Pharaoh had constructed an idol of Baal-zephon, a powerful
talisman which impleded all who passed by. But how, ibn Hazm asks, could a
talisman of Pharaoh have such power over God? if Pharoah indeed had such power
over God, where was it when he was drowned in the Red Sea
Mekhilta 20:2
(“Beshallah,” c.2) refers to the hirot, in front of which Israel encamped (cf.
Ex. 14:2). These are described as “not leaning but tapered to the apex, not
rectilinear but slightly convex, not round but square, not what a human being
had made but the world of heaven; they had eyes as window, were a kind of male
and female….” These may be the “powerful talisman” to which Ibn Hazm refers. He
apparently equated this talisman with Baal-zephon, mentioned in the same verse,
in front of which Israel is also said to have encamped. The Mekhilta (20:6)
says of Baal-zephon that he “survived among all the gods, so as to entice the
hearts of the Egyptions.” By encamping before the powerful talisman (the idol
of Baal-zephon), Israel in Pharoahs estimation had become “entangled” in the
wilderness (Ex 14:3) (trans Neusner 1988, 1:135-136)
Speak to the
children of Israel, and let them turn back and encamp in front of Pi hahiroth,
between Migdol and the sea; in front of Baal Zephon, you shall encamp opposite
it, by the sea. (Exodus 14:2)
----------------------------
Rashis commentary
and let them turn back: to their rear. They approached
nearer to Egypt during the entire third day in order to mislead Pharaoh, so
that he would say, “They are astray on the road,” as it is said: “And Pharaoh
will say about the children of Israel…” (Exod. 14:3).
and encamp in front of Pi-hahiroth: That is Pithom [one of the
cities built by the Israelites, Exod 1:11], but now it was called Pi-hahiroth, since
there they [the Israelites] became free men (בְּנֵי חוֹרִין). They
[the Hiroth] are two high upright rocks, and [because there is] the valley
between them [this] is called the mouth (פִּי) of the
rocks. — [from Mechilta]
in front of Ba’al Zephon: [Only] this was left from all
the Egyptian deities in order to mislead them [the Egyptians], so they would
say that their deity is powerful. Concerning this [tactic] Job explained: “He
misleads nations and destroys them” (Job 12:23). — [from Mechilta]
--------------------------
--------------------------
The
devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread."
(Luke 4:3)
The
tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread." (Matthew 4:3)
Did you catch the difference? Luke states, Satan said “tell
this stone to become bread” (singular). Whereas Matthew states, Satan said
“tell these stones to become bread” (plural). to many this may seem very minor, but one must
accept the two authors could not have been inspired by the same spirit, a
contradiction indeed. also notice Satan asked Jesus to “tell” the stone or
stones, i.e. speak to the objects. Why didn’t Jesus respond by saying how can I
tell these stones to turn into bread? Unless he was aware those stones could
hear him and obey? Rather he replied by saying
Jesus
answered, "It is written: 'Man shall not live on bread alone.'" (Luke
4:4)
Whats worse, Jesus said he would give a
white stone to his followers?
Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the
churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give some of the hidden manna. I
will also give that person a white stone with a new name written on it, known
only to the one who receives it. (Revelations 2:17)
One wonders what this white stone could possibly be? did you know Al-Lat was a white stone with inscriptions on, and we find from the very Bible that Jesus would give a white stone with a new name written on it (inscription)..

Arithmetical Errors
----------------------------
------------------------
Arithmetical Errors
Ibn Hazm claims to have found
another numerical inconsistency, further supporting his charge of tahrif. Taking as his point of departure
the assertion in Ex. 12:40 that Israel dwelt in Egypt 430 years, Ibn Hazm
points to another inconsistency. We are told in Gen. 6:11 that Kohath, the son
of Levi, was among those who descended to Egypt with Jocob. Assume for the sake
of argument, Ibn Hazm says, that he was a month old or less when he arrived in
Egypt and therefore spent all of his 137 years there (cf Ex. 6:16). Assume
further, he tells the reader, that his son Amram, was born after his father’s
death and that Moses, the son of Amram, was born after Amram’s death at the age
of 133. We know from the Torah that Moses was 80 years of age at the time of
the Exodus (cf 7:7). This would mean that the sojourn of Egypt would have
lasted 137+133+80 or 350 years- not 430 years, as Ex.12:40 states. Where, Ibn
Hazm asks, are the missing eighty years?
He even anticipates the Jews’
response that the figure of 430 incudes Joseph’s time in Egypt before his
father’s arrival. But still the desired total is not attained. Joseph, Ibn Hazm
notes, was 17 when sold into Egypt (Gen. 37:2), and 39 when his family arrived
(in that he entered Pharaoh’s service at 30 (Gen. 41:46) and then seven years
of plenty and two years of the seven-year famine had elapsed (Gen.41:53, 45:11)
before the Israelites’ migration). That amounts to only 22 years. Where, Ibn
Hazm ask, are the other 58 years needed to reach a total of 430? With similar calculations
earlier in the Treatise, Ibn Hazm had
shown that the prophecy purportedly made to Abraham as recorded in Gen. 15:13(“....
your descendants… will be oppressed for four hundred years” was fallacious.
Ibn Hazm wonders how in more
than fifteen hundred years the Jews had not detected the arithmetical error in
the Numbers regarding the numbers of males at least one month of age in the
tribe of Live. The Gershonites are said to have numbered 6500, the Kohathites,
8600; and the families of Merari, 6200 (Num. 322, 28, 34)- for a total of
21,300
(This figure differs from that given in the
MT and Vulgates (7500) and that given in the LXX (7200).
And yet Num. 3:39 gives the
total as 22,000. Even an ox or an ass would not be so ignorant of simple
arithmetic. And this erroneous figure cannot be attributed merely to the
carelessness of a copyist; it is intrinsic to the text. That is, according to
Num. 3:42-46, special provision had to be made for the redemption of 273 of the
first-born of Israel since only 22,000 of their total number (22,273)were
redeemed by the Levites.
----------------------------
Ibn Hazm detects problems with
the tabulation of the descendants of Jacob in Gen. 46, seeing in this pericope
of miscalculation to be explained by human tampering with the text- since
obviously no one would dare attribute such an arithmetical error to God! verses
9-14 list Jacob’s offspring through Leah. These include Reuben and his four
sons (5), simon and his six sons (7), Levi and his three sons (4), Judah and
his three sons and two grandsons by Perez (6), Issachar and his four sons (5),
zebulon and his three sons (4), and, finally, Dinah. This yields a total of 32,
not 33 as stated in v. 15. This error then causes a further error in
calculation. Verses 16-18 list Jacobs’s offspring through Zilpah (a total of
16); vv. 19-20, his offspring through Rachel (a total of 14); and vv. 23-25,
his offspring through Bilhah (a total of 7). The periscope ends with the
summary that all the offspring of Jacob who came into Egypt numbered 66(v. 26),
and the total number of the house of Jacob in Egypt amounted to 70 (v. 27). To
these figures Ibn Hazm reacts as follows:
This is a monstrous error because the sum of
the aforementioned numbers (32+16+14+7) is 69, and if the two sons of Joseph
born to him in Egypt are subtracted from them there remain 67, while it says
66. This is a lie. Them it said “All of those who entered into Egypt with him
were 70.” And this is another lie. We have already maintained that the one who
fabricated the Torah for them was dim witted in numbers
Thus Ibn Hazm claims to have
found another numerical inconsistency, further supporting his charge of tahrif.
---------------------------------------
Verse 31. - And these (which follow) are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any (literally, before the reigning of a) king over (or, to) the children of Israel.
---------------------------------------
kings??
These were the kings who reigned in Edom before any Israelite king reigned: (Genesis 36:31)
The medieval rabbi Isaac ibn Yashush recognized that Moses could not have described Edomite kings as reigning before any king reigned over the Israelites (Genesis 36:31), since in Moses time there was no way of knowing that Israel would one day have a king. And Abraham ibn Ezra (1089-1164) noticed that Genesis 12:6 (and the Canaanites were then in the land) must have been written when the Canaanites no longer represented a major portion of Palestines population. Ibn Ezra also saw a problem with Deuteronomy 1:1, which refers to the territory east of the Jordan as the other side of the Jordan. Obviously, this passage was written from the perspective of someone on the western side of the Jordan (Canaan)yet Moses died east of the Jordan, having never reached Canaan.5
Pulpit Commentary
Verse 31. - And these (which follow) are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any (literally, before the reigning of a) king over (or, to) the children of Israel.
1. The reference to Israelitish kings in this place has been explained as an evidence of post-Mosaic authorship (Le Clerc, Bleek, Ewald, Bohlen, et alii), or at least as a later interpolation from 1 Chronicles 1:43 (Kennicott, A. Clarke, Lange), but is sufficiently accounted for by remembering that in Genesis 35:11 kings had been promised to Jacob, while the blessing pronounced on Esau (Genesis 27:40) implied that in his line also should arise governors, the historian being understood to say that though the promised kings had not yet arisen in the line of Jacob, the house of Esau had attained at a somewhat early period to political importance (Calvin, Michaelis, Rosenmüller, Keil, Kalisch, Gerlach, Havernick, and others).
----------------------------------
----------------------------------
From a historical perspective, the crux of this question comes down to dating the exodus event (so that we can identify the Pharaoh in question). The most common date suggested for this event is around 1250 BC. The reason for this is Exodus 1:11 saying that the Hebrew slaves helped build Ramesses (believed to be the city Pi-Ramesses because no city just called Ramesses ever existed). Pi-Ramesses, which means "House of Ramesses", was founded about the mid-13th century BC. Additionally, the land of Israel is identified on a late 13th century BC stele erected by the Egyptian Pharaoh Merneptah. Therefore, it is believed that the exodus would have been between these two events (building the cities, being mentioned in their own land).
If 1250 BC is close to the date, then the Pharaoh would have been Ramesses II. He did not die in the sea. His mummy is in Cairo's Egyptian Museum. His son Merneptah's mummy was unwrapped in 1907. His father Seti I's mummy is also at Cairo's Egyptian Museum. Therefore, it is unlikely that any Pharaoh associated with Israel drowned in the sea.
Furthermore, it is also unlikely that the exodus event occurred the way it is told anyway. There are dozens of reasons for this. To name just a few...
This anachronism points to the fact that this story was written much later than the event it purports to tell. If that is the case, then it makes much more sense how the details of the story came to be exaggerated. In pre-literary societies, transmission of history is done by Oral Tradition (stories told by each generation to the next). If you've ever played the "telephone game," then you know how quickly stories change when told over and over again.

If Yahweh wrote the tablets with his own hands (Exodus 34:1), and those tablets are now missing. Why do Christians throw a fit by saying how could the Torah be corrupted when God sent it down. They forget the Torah was written by unknown men, there is no early manuscripts of the Torah.
Think of it like this, if Moses wrote the Torah around 3500 years ago and the earliest manuscripts we have in possession goes back 200BC how many year is the gap between the DDS manuscripts and Moses? About 1300 years! Ask yourself could you possibly believe the Torah which has a 1300 year gap the exact same as the one Moses wrote?
If the TABLETS written by the hands of God went missing, what makes you think the Torah you have which has no chain of narration still be original.

The blessing Isaac conferred
upon Jacob, as recorded in the Torah (Gen 27:27-29) is proved false by subsequent
historical events.
So he came near and kissed him. And Isaac smelled the smell
of his garments and blessed him and said, “See, the smell of my son is as the
smell of a field that the LORD has blessed! May God give you of the dew
of heaven and of the fatness of the earth and plenty of grain and wine. Let
peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers, and
may your mother’s sons bow down to you. Cursed be everyone who curses you, and
blessed be everyone who blesses you!” (Genesis 27:27-29)
That is, Isaac tells Jacob, “Let people serve you, and
nations bow down to you” (Gen 27:29). But
even according to the Torah itself, this blessing never came to fruition. It was
Jacob who served Laban
So Jacob went in to Rachel also, and he loved Rachel more
than Leah, and served Laban for another seven years. (Genesis 29:30)
It was Jacob who bowed down before Esau
and not vice versa.
Then Jacob went on ahead. As he approached his brother, he
bowed to the ground seven times before him.(Genesis 33:3)
In speaking with Esau, Jacob refers to himself as “your
servant” (Gen. 33:5) according to Gen.36:8, it was Esau who maintained dominion
over the inheritance of the sons of Jacob in seir. In fact, Ibn Hazm notes, the
sons of Jacob never dominated the sons of Esau, Lot or Ismael. The Jews themselves
admit that the sons of Esau and Lot retained control of Seir, Moab and Amman
even after the kingdom of Israel has disappeared. Furthermore, “until the
present day” the sons of Ishmael (i.e., the Arabs) possess lands once claimed
by Israel. Thus the facts of history plainly show the Torah’s account of Isaac’s
blessing upon Jacob to be corrupt.
----------------------------
Claims in the Torah contradict historical facts, Ibn Hazm
contends. In Gen 4:15, for example, it is promised that Cain would be ransomed
sevenfold (which Ibn Hazm interprets as referring to divine guarantee of
safekeeping for seven generation). The Jews however, hold that cain was killed
by Lamech, who lived only five generations after him. Thus God’s promise as
recorded in the Torah was not historically validated.
We can also confirm the above from Jewish sources that
Lamech did kill cain. Below is the commentary from Rashi, a renowned Jewish
(Bible) scholar
-------------------------------
The LORD said
to him, “I promise, if anyone kills Cain, sevenfold vengeance shall be taken on
him.” And the LORD put a mark on Cain, lest anyone who met him should kill him. ( Genesis 4:15)
Rashi commentary
VENGEANCE
SHALL BE TAKEN SEVENFOLD — God says, I do not wish to take vengeance on Cain
now, but at the end of seven generations I will execute my vengeance upon him,
that Lamech, one of his descendants, will arise and slay him.
Lamech said to his wives, "Adah and Zillah, listen to
me; wives of Lamech, hear my words. I have killed a man for wounding me, a
young man for injuring me. If Cain is avenged seven times, then Lamech
seventy-seven times." (Genesis 4:23-24)
Rashi commentary
For his
wives separated from him because he had killed Cain and Tubal-Cain, his own
son. Lamech was blind and Tubal-Cain used to lead him. The latter saw Cain and
thought him to be an animal. He therefore told his father to draw the bow, and
thus Lamech killed him. As soon as he learned that it was his forefather Cain,
there you have it another reason why the Bible can not be trusted.

I do not believe in the Bible the Christians and Jews follow why? Because the current Torah and gospels proceeded neither from God nor from any prophet; in fact. It cannot even be deemed the word of a wise or well- informed author. It is without a doubt the work of some impious person, false and mocking. The only other explanation is that the author was an imbecile simpleton, unlearned in arithmetic, astronomy, geography, and theology, and unreflective in his own writing.

It will well known from the
Bible, that Aaron fashioned the Golden calf for the Children of Israel.
When the people
saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people gathered
themselves together to Aaron and said to him, “Up, make us gods who
shall go before us. As for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of
the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.” So Aaron said to them, “Take off the rings of
gold that are in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and
bring them to me.” So all the people
took off the rings of gold that were in their ears and brought them to Aaron. And he
received the gold from their hand and fashioned it with a graving tool and made
a golden calf. And they said, “These are your gods, O Israel, who brought
you up out of the land of Egypt!” (Exodus 32:1-4)
Here’s the
problem, the children of Israel demanded Aaron to “make gods” for them which
Aaron did, he fashioned “a golden calf”. Just for the record in many places the Bible
and Talmud is clear there was only One idol calf fashioned not two or three
Exodus 32:8, Deuteronomy 9:16, Nehemiah 9:18, Berakhot 7a:5, Megillah 25b:11 etc.. If Aaron supposed to have fashioned “a golden calf” why did the
Jews say “These are your gods”? (plural) how many golden calf did Aaron make?
We call it
Inconsistency !
---------------------------------------------
So David prevailed
over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck the Philistine
and killed him. There was no sword in the hand of David. (1 Samuel 17:50)
Then David ran and
stood over the Philistine and took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and
killed him and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their
champion was dead, they fled. (1 Samuel 17:51)
Amazing inconsistency between the 2 verses. In verse 50, David
killed Goliath with sling and stone
"without a sword". Verse 51 David killed Goliath "AGAIN" this time with
his sword. It doesn't stop here verse 54
really takes the Biscuit.
David took the Philistine's head and brought it to Jerusalem; he put the Philistine's weapons
in his own tent. (1 Samuel 17:54)
How could David take Goliath's head to Jerusalem? According to the biblical narratives, Jerusalem was not the capital during Sau's reign, but Gibeah and David was still in Saul's service. Jerusalem had not been conquered yet. So the story of David bringing a severed head to Jerusalem must have happened much later, when Jerusalem was David's capital, and therefore what he carried in triumph cannot have been the head of Goliath. Then who's head was it? Jerusalem was not captured until 7 years after David became king read 2 Sam 5.
The Gemara continues: Come and hear: Beloreya the convert once asked Rabban Gamliel: It is written in your Torah: “The great, mighty, and awesome God who favors no one” (Deuteronomy 10:17), and elsewhere it is written: “The Lord shall show favor to you and give you peace” (Numbers 6: 26). How can this contradiction be resolved?
Another reason to believe the Bible is not inspired.
------------------------------
To this he replied:
"Brothers and fathers, listen to me! The God of glory appeared to our
father Abraham while he was still in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Harran.
(Acts 7:2)
Wrong, according
Genesis Abraham received his call in Haran years later.
Terah took his son
Abram, his grandson Lot son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, the wife
of his son Abram, and together they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to
Canaan. But when they came to Harran, they settled there. (Genesis 11:31)
The LORD had said to
Abram, "Go from your country, your people and your father's household to
the land I will show you. (Genesis 12:1)
This shows Stephen
could not have been inspired by the Holy Ghost, or else why would he make such
an error with Abraham location. Maybe he read a different version?
whats fascinating about all this is, not a single member of the Sanhedrin including the high priest challenged Stephen for his gross exegesis of the "Torah". yes the "HIGH PRIEST"
Then the high priest asked Stephen, "Are these charges true?" (Acts 7:1)
-----------------------------
once again Stephen lied his way out!
So Abraham left the land of the Chaldeans and lived in Haran until his father died. Then God brought him here to the land where you now live. (Acts 7:4)
Wrong, Acts 7:4 says that Abram didn't leave Haran until after his father died. Genesis 11:26 says that Abram's father was 70 years old when Abram was born, and Abram's father lived to be 205 (11:32). Clearly, then, Abram was at least 135 when he left Haran. Yet Genesis 12:4 says he left Haran when he was only 75.
After Terah was 70 yearsold, he became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. (Genesis 11:26)
Terah lived 205 years, andhe died in Harran. (Genesis 11:32)
Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out ofHaran. (Genesis 12:4)
Genesis 11:26 says that Terah was 70 years old when he became the father of Abram, Nahor and Haran. After Terah ’s death Abraham leftHaran at the age of 75 . By adding those two numbers together you come up withTerah ’s age of 145 when he died . The problem is that Genesis 11 :32 says Terah lived 205 years, not 145
The question is, how old was Abraham when he left Haran 75 or 135? Stephen once again made an error regarding Abraham in front of the high priest.

From all
the clean animals you shall take seven each, man and wife And from all unclean
animals you shall take two, man and wife (Genesis 7:2)
מכל הבהמה הטהורה
תקח לך שבעה שבעה איש ואשתו ומן הבהמה אשר לא טהרה הוא שנים איש אשתו
If you read the verse carefully you’ll notice something unusual.
Yahweh seems to refer the animals as “man and wife”. The Hebrew in the Masoretic
text is very clear, (איש
ואשתו man and wife). Why did Yahweh use such a term for animals? The Bible is
clear between the creation of man and animals, so whats with the confusion?
This creates
another problem, in Genesis 1:26 it says, “Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image,”. If man is
supposed to be in God’s image and the same God refers to animals as “man” does this
means animals were also made in Yahweh’s image? Maybe those Christians who claim
the Holy Ghost is guiding them could explain this problem.
--------------------------------------
And God finished his work on the Seventh day and he rested
on the Seventh השביעי ביום אלהים ויכל
(Masoretic Torah Genesis 2:2)
According to Masoretic text, Yahweh finished his work on the
seventh day and rested on the seventh day.
However, the Samaritan and Septuagint including the Peshitta say, Yahweh
finished his work on the sixth day and rested on the seventh day?
And God finished his work on the Sixth day and he rested on
the Seventh day הששי ביום אלהים ויכל
(Genesis 2:2 Samaritan/Septuagint Torah)
This is a blatant discrepancy on the authenticity of the “Torah”
Christians and Jews claim to be the very inerrant/inspired word of God, where
not a single word was added or taken away. Maybe our Christian friends who
claim to be guided by the Holy Ghost can tell us which version is correct. Now Christians have to make the choice between
the three versions, either the Masoretic is correct making the Samaritan and
Septuagint corrupt, or the Samaritan and Septuagint is correct making the
Masoretic corrupt. Just for the record the Samaritan predates the Masoretic
and possibly the Septuagint (debatable)
----------------------------------------
And Terah
took Abraham and Lot…and they left with them from Ur of the Chaldeans to the
Land of Canaan and they travelled to Haran ויקח תרח את אברם בנו ואת לוט... ויצאו
אתם מאור כשדים ללכת ארצה כנען ויבאו עד חרן (Genesis 11:31 Masoretic Torah)
Lets compare
the Masoretic with other earlier versions (excluding Latin vulgate)
And Terah
took Abraham and Lot…and brought them from Ur of the Chaldeans to the Land of
Canaan : ויקח תרח את אברם בנו ואת לוט...ויוצא אותם מאור כשדים ללכת ארצה כנען ויבאו
עד חרן (Genesis 11:31 Samaritan, Septuagint,
Latin VulgateTorah)
The
Masoretic text is confusing: The highlighted verb vayetz’u (and they left) is
clearly performed by all the people Terah took at the beginning of the verse,
just like the final verbs of the verse (and they travelled to Haran…). It is
unclear however, who else the preposition ittam (with them) refers to in this
version.
The
variant reading suggested by the Samaritan, Septuagint and Latin Vulgate,
provide one with a smoother reading, the highlighted verb is performed by
Terah, the subject at the beginning of the verse.
This creates a problem since Christians rely on the Masoretic
version, which is confusing compare to a smoother reading from earlier
versions. Are Christians willing to dismiss the confusing version and replace
it with a smoother one?
-------------------------
God said to him, "Your name is Jacob, but you will no
longer be called Jacob; your name will be Israel." So he named him Israel.
(Genesis 35:10)
As we can read from the above verse, God is telling Jacob
he will no longer be called by that name, his new name shall be Israel. Did
Yahweh fulfil his saying? And the answer is no
God spoke to Israel in visions of the night and said,
"Jacob, Jacob." And he said, "Here I am." (Genesis 46:2)
It’s fair to say the Yahweh lied to Jacob. Genesis 35
blatantly contradicts Genesis 46. One moment Yahweh tells Jacob he wont be
calling him by that name, a few chapters later he goes back on his words and
calls him Jacob. A God who doesn’t keep up to his words what kind of a lesson
can you learn from this. What’s ironic about this is, if Moses was the author
of Genesis didn’t he notice this problem? Did not Moses question Yahweh and
seek some sort of an answer? It’s not like Moses was unable ask him, if Moses
can make Yahweh repent as found in Exodus 32:14 why wouldn’t he clear this up? Makes
no sense.
-----------------------------------------------
After Terah was 70 years old, he became the father
of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. (Genesis 11:26)
Terah lived 205 years, and he died in Harran.
(Genesis 11:32)
Abram was seventy and five years old when he
departed out of Haran. (Genesis 12:4)
Genesis 11:26 says that Terah was 70 years old when
he became the father of Abram, Nahor and Haran. After Terah ’s death Abraham
left Haran at the age of 75 . By adding those two numbers together you come up
with Terah ’s age of 145 when he died. The problem is that Genesis 11 :32 says
Terah lived 205 years, not 145
This would mean Abraham married Sarah when he was 135, how
then did he have Ismael at the age of 86 and Isaac at the age of 100 when he
was still living with his father unmarried? This would mess up the entire dating system
from Abraham lineage. By calculation Sarah was 48 years younger then Abraham,
which means Sarah was roughly 90 years old when the king found her attractive
and wanted to marry her?
The problem gets worse as sarah would of had her first child
Isaac decades later, which again shows the inconsistency as she would of lived
longer then 127 years if Isaac was married at the age of 40. She would of seen
his marriage and possibly his offspring.
Abraham fell facedown; he
laughed and said to himself, "Will a son be born to a man a hundred years
old? Will Sarah bear a child at the age of ninety?" (Genesis 17:17)
If Sarah was 90 years old when she met the king, and many
years later gave birth to Isaac, that sis 14 after Ishmael was Born she would
have been 104 years old when she had Isaac.
Do you see the problem
------------------------------
------------------------------
All Scripture is God-breathed… (1 Timothy 3:16). Probably one of the biggest
lie found in the New Testament by Paul, that “All Scripture is God Breathed”.
below is rock-solid evidence the Bible is not the word of God. would God truly inspired
such inconsistency. another reason why the Bible should be dumped, purely because of it's inconsistency
And Noah was five hundred years
old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Genesis 5:32)
According to Genesis Noah begat
his 3 sons when he was 500 years old. We also read when Noah was 600 years old the
flood happened
Noah was six hundred years old
when the floodwaters came on the earth. (Genesis 7:6)
The flood remained for 150 days
(Gen 7:24). And the flood lasted for 5 month (Gen 8:4)
Here’s the interesting part,
note “Shem was 100 years old, “two years after the flood”.
This is the account of Shem's
family line. Two years after the flood, when Shem was 100 years old, he became
the father of Arphaxad. (Genesis 11:10)
How could Shem be 100 years old
two years after the flood?
If Noah had Shem when he was
500 years old, and the flood happened when Noah was 600 years old. This would
make Shem 100 years old when the flood happened. How them could Shem be 100
years old two after the flood? This means Noah had Shem when he was 498, or
shem was 98 years old if we are to resolve this two-year discrepancy.
But the text is clear Noah had
Shem when he was 500 years old. Unless you can show us else where Shem was born
when Noah was 502 years old? But till
then this book cannot be taken as the very word of God.
----------------------------------
----------------------------------
Another perfect example of
inconsistency within the “supposed word of God”
21 The cities belonging to the tribe of the people of Judah in the extreme
south, toward the boundary of Edom, were Kabzeel, Eder, Jagur, 22 Kinah,
Dimonah, Adadah, 23 Kedesh,

Telem, Bealoth, 25 Hazor-hadattah,

Madmannah, Sansannah,32 Lebaoth,
Shilhim, Ain, and Rimmon: in all, twenty-nine cities with their villages.(Joshua
15:21-32)
---------------------
Joshua must
have had trouble with maths. He says there are 29 cities in verse 32, but he
lists 38 in verses 21-32. Then he says there were 14 cities in verse 36, but
lists 15 in verses 33-36.
33 And in the lowland, Eshtaol, Zorah, Ashnah, 34 Zanoah,
En-gannim, Tappuah, Enam, 35 Jarmuth, Adullam, Socoh, Azekah, 36 Shaaraim,
Adithaim, Gederah, Gederothaim: fourteen cities with their villages. (Joshua
15:33-36)
The question is
why would Joshua who Moses laid his hand on by the command of Yahweh make such
an error? “So the LORD said to Moses,
"Take Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit of leadership, and
lay your hand on him.” (Numbers 27:18)
Either Yahweh
who inspired Joshua made a mistake, or Joshua was written by some random tom
who was bad at maths?
----------------------
Again, we are not disputing that an Exodus did
not happened, rather we are dismissing the erroneous biblical account of such a
mass Exodus.
----------------------
We have no doubt
the Exodus of Moses with the children of Israel took place. However, the biblical
narration is very dubious. It is highly unlikely such a “mass Exodus” happened.
According to the Bible Moses travelled 2,600,000 (two million six hundred
thousand) people. This is a outrageous
exaggeration from the biblical part.
The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Sukkoth. There
were about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children.
(Exodus 12:37)
Note the above verse state, six
hundred thousand men on foot, “BESIDES WOMEN AND CHILDREN”. If we add the women
and children, then we’ll be counting over two million plus. The Talmud says
that there had been twice as many Prophets as the number of people who left Egypt.
(Megillah 14a).
The question is, how would have Moses
controlled two and half million people at once? Lets’ also bear in mind along
side the people there were animals and carriage, belonging etc. can you imagine
over two million people travelling under the instruction of one man? How did he
communicate with such many people?
Now let’s think of this for a
moment. The population of Mauritius is 1.263 million,2016
census. Mauritius has half the pollution of what Exodus
tells us imagine that. The population of Qatar 2,168,673, down by 400,000 compare
Exodus.

The age of Jacob when he meets Pharaoh 130 Gen
47:9
Years of plenty before Jacob enters Egypt 7 Gen
41:53
Years of famine before Jacob enters Egypt 2
= 39 Gen 45:6
---
age of Jacob when Joseph is born 91
Joseph was born 14 years after Jacob departed to find a wife in Padan
Aram,
refer Gen 30:25-43, 31:41. If Jacob was indeed 91 years old when Joseph
was
born, then Jacob would have been 77 years old when he departed for Padan
Aram.
The age of Jacob when he departed for Padan Aram is important because
this
is when a 'father' of Esau (and Jacob) died!
Gen 27:41
So Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with
which his
father blessed him, and Esau said in his
heart,
"The days of mourning for my father are at
hand; then I
will kill my brother Jacob".
Since Isaac lived until 180 years
of age (Gen 35:28) and Jacob was born
when Isaac was 60 years old (Gen
25:26), Isaac would not have died until
Jacob reached 120 years of age. How
could this be if Isaac did not die yet?
Yet Genesis 27:41 says he did? Whats
worse Genesis 35:28 says they both
buried their father?
---------------------
"It is I who
made the earth, and created man upon it. I stretched out the heavens with My
hands And I ordained all their host. (Isaiah 45:12)
According to Isaiah,
Yahweh stretched out the heavens with his "HANDS" and "ORDAINED" all its host, i.e.
stars. This verse is contradicted by Psalms.
By the word of the
LORD the heavens were made, by the breath of His mouth, all their host. (Psalm
33:6)
Here we have Yahweh
saying, the heavens were made by his "WORD" and the hosts i.e. by his
"BREATH". Completely different to what the god of Isaiah said?.
Did Yahweh use his
Hand and ordain or use his word and breath? It doesn’t stop here the very same
book of Psalm tells us :
Of old
hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the
work of thy hands.(Psalm 102:25)
The heaven was the
work of Yahweh's hand yet 70 chapters earlier Yahweh said he used his word to
make the heavens?
---------------------
According to David Write from Answering Genesis, Noah's flood happened 2348 BC.
"Using the Bible, well-documented historical events, and some math, we find that the Flood began approximately 4,359 years ago in the year 1656 AM or 2348 BC."
According Egyptologists the Great Pyramids of Giza was built during 2560 BCE
"The Great Pyramid of Giza was built for the Fourth Dynasty Pharaoh Khufu (or Cheops), and was completed around 2560 BCE."
Romer, John (2007). The Great Pyramid: Ancient Egypt Revisited. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge Romer (2007), p. 8
this is unanimously agreed by Magnitudes of Egyptologists that the pyramids were built 2560 BCE . We also know that the Hebrews build the Pyramids in Giza. So the question is, if the Pyramids were built 200 years prior to the flood how did the Jews build the pyramids? Also don’t forget the Tower of Babel was built after the great flood.
This goes to show the Bible got it wrong and it's timeline has serious discrepancies.
-------------------------
Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. (Genesis 1:29)
Accordingto Kent Hovind (an Evangelist), said "there is a vitamin found inside the seed of the peach called B17".
What he didn’t tell us is that, this seed carries cyanide. “One hundred grams of moist peach seed contains 88 mg of cyanide,while an equivalentamount of apricot seed holds 217 mg.”
A single peach fruit of course doesn’t have nearly as much as a hundred grams of seed. But how dangerous is that amount, as a high level reference? Now Kent Hovind claims B17 cures cancer, which is a medicine from the Bible. thereality is:
"Vitamin B17" has been shown to have no anti- cancer benefit, or else why don't Bible believing cancer patient use it? It's only effect is cyanide poisoning. we know there are many more poisonous fruits, that if eaten could have a life threatening effect. We can conclude the author of the Bible did now know how dangerous some fruits and seeds could be.
-----------------------
Major historical error found in the “supposed preserved Torah”
Only King Og of Bashan was left of the remaining Rephaim. His bedstead, an iron bedstead, is now in Rabbah of the Ammonites; it is nine cubits long and four cubits wide, by the standard cubit! (Deuteronomy 3:11)
Moses mentions Rabbath, where Og's bedstead is located. Moses could not have any knowledge of Rabbath,which was not captured by the Hebrews until David's time,500 years later
Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the Ammonites and took the royal city. (2 Sam 12:26).
This clearly shows Deuteronomy was written much later after Kings David’s arrival.
The book of Joshua contains anachronism in the following verses proving it was written much after Joshua the son of Nun. another reason to dismiss the Bible being the inspired word of God.
----------------
About the City of Dan
When the territory of the Danites was lost to them, they went up and attacked Leshem, took it, put it to the sword and occupied it. They settled in Leshem and named it Dan after their ancestor. Joshua 19:47
But this incidence happened after his death
Then they took what Micah had made, and his priest, and went on to Laish, against a people at peace and secure. They attacked them with the sword and burned down their city. There was no one to rescue them because they lived a long way from Sidon and had no relationship with anyone else. The city was in a valley near Beth Rehob. The Danites rebuilt the city and settled there. They named it Dan after their ancestor Dan, who was born to Israel—though the city used to be called Laish. There the Danites set up for themselves the idol, and Jonathan son of Gershom, the son of Moses, and his sons were priests for the tribe of Dan until the time of the captivity of the land. They continued to use the idol Micah had made, all the time the house of God was in Shiloh. Judges 18:27-31
Joshua wrote about his death:
After these things, Joshua son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died at the age of a hundred and ten. And they buried him in the land of his inheritance, at Timnath Serah in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash. Israel served the Lord throughout the lifetime of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him and who had experienced everything the Lord had done for Israel. Joshua 24:29-31.

Note the age for marriage is nowhere to be found in the entire bible, yet the age of Jesus and Talmud fit perfectly like a glove lol

There goes your preserved bible
1 Now Nahash king of the Ammonites oppressed the Gadites and the
Reubenites severely. He gouged out the right eye of all of them and there was no one to save Israel. There did not remain an Israelite man who was beyond the Jordan whose right eye Nahash king of the Ammonites did not gouge out, except seven thousand men who escaped from the hand ofthe Ammonites and went to Jabesh Gilead. And they were there about a month. (1 Samuel 11 DSS
4Q51 Samuela)
Amazing Christians tell us the Bible was preserved like the diaper of a baby once defecated on it's never reused, i.e. once the Bible was penned no alteration was made ,nor any changes, nor was anything added or taken off. Clearly that’s a lie . This lengthy reading is not in any other known Bible text i.e. Septuagint or Masoretic, but Josephus seems to be aware of it in Antiquities of the Jews, book VI, chapter 5. the question is Josephus was aware of such reading which pre dates the Masoretic and Septuagint, why then is it missing from the current Bible?

Do you believe this
God gave Solomon wisdom as measureless as the sand on the seashore.
(1-King 4:29)
Solomon's temple was only about ninety feet long by thirty feet wide, and
(1-Kings 6:2, 2 Chronicles 3:3)
(1-Kings 6:2, 2 Chronicles 3:3)
yet --
153,300 persons were employed to build it.
(1-Kings 5:15-16 )
It took seven years to build.
(1-Kings 6:38)
(1-Kings 6:38)
13,100,000 lbs. of gold and 116,400,000 lbs. of silver were consumed in its construction.
(1-Chronicles 22:14)
(1-Chronicles 22:14)
24,000 supervisors and 6,000 officials and judges were employed to manage it.
(1-Chronicles 23:4)
(1-Chronicles 23:4)
The whole world sought an audience with Solomon to hear his wisdom
(1-King 10:24)
(1-King 10:24)
1 Kings 6:2 gives us the measurements of his temple: 60 cubits long (one cubit is 1.5 feet, so that makes this 90 feet long), 20 cubits (30 feet) wide, and 30 cubits (45 feet) tall. As far as churches go, it seems kind of small, especially given Solomon’s wealth. He could have afforded to build the first mega church. To put its size in perspective, in baseball the plates are 90 feet apart. The length of the church was merely the length of running to first base.
In 2 Chronicles 2:1-2 we are shown the size of the workforce Solomon employed to build this church. He “assigned 70,000 men to carry loads and 80,000 men to quarry stone in the mountains and 3,600 to supervise them.” That’s 153,600 men just to build a church. I’m not saying it’s easy for iron age men to carve stones out of mountains, but 153,600 men seems massively absurd. That’s about the total population of Springfield, Massachusetts! Imagine if everyone in Springfield suddenly quit their jobs to build a church that could only seat–at best–a few hundred.

Scientific blunder star wars
How did the stars fight?
From the heavens the stars fought, from their courses they fought against Sisera. (Judges 5:20)
Interesting stars were fighting Sisera. It's funny how Christian bring up stars as missiles from the Quran, yet their own bible tells us stars fought?
RabbeinuBahya, Bereshit 1:14:9 commentary. Rabbi sees the verse as a problem Looking at the plain meaning of our verses: The reason why one of the two luminaries is described as (relatively ) small is because whenever there are two phenomena both described as “great or large,” it is usual that one of the two is larger than the other.
If youwill examine the text of our paragraph in the Torah carefully, you will find that it explains four separate matters. 1) These luminaries are always found in the same positions which have been assigned to them initially, i.e. they are stationary and do not move. [Here too the astronomy of our author is based on outdated concepts. The luminaries are deemed captive on the periphery of the planet and are assumed to move with it automatically. The only part of this chapter which is relevant to our times is that the moon does not have light of its own and that only the sun has been assigned by G’d to emit light. I see no point in translating discarded concepts even if the author thought he could use scripture to support the theories current in his time. Ed.]
Take note the Rabbi wrote " I see no point in translating discarded concepts even if the author thought he could use scripture to support the theories current in his time.". Rabbiis admitting the author messed up. also notice how the rabbis said"AUTHOR" he knows this wasn't written by Joshua rather an unknown
scribe.

Outrageous ! Christians have no problem accepting such nonsense
Then a wind from the Lord sprang up, and it brought quail from the sea and let them fall beside the camp, about a day's journey on this side and a day's journey on the other side, around the camp, and about two cubits above the ground. And the people rose all that day and all night and all the next day, and gathered the quail. Those who gathered least gathered ten homers. And they spread them out for themselves all around the camp (Numbers 11:31-32)
---------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------
There's a problem with the sheer number of quail this story involves. It seems the quail are spread over a circle around the camp, with so many that they are piled up about 0.9 meters high. If we conservatively estimate a day's journey to be 8 hours' walk at 5 kilometers per hour, the volume of quail is about 4,500,000,000 cubic meters. Even loosely packed, the number of quail is getting into the trillions. There does seem to be an implausibly large population of quail in the area.
God sends quails to feed his people until they were "two cubits [about a meter] high upon the face of the earth." Taking the "face of the earth" to be a circle with a radius of say 30 kilometers (an approximate day's journey), this would amount to 3 trillion (3x1012) liters of quails. At 2 quails per liter, this would provide a couple million quails for each of several million people.
Let's not forget everyone who eats the quail gets plague. It is well known the bible exaggerates time to time thinking we are STUPID and will believe such absurdities.

Interesting!
According to the Talmud, those who tried to build the "tower of babel" and wag war with God were turned into "APES, spirits, devils, and female-demons"
Rather, Rabbi Yirmeya bar Elazar says: They divided into three factions; one said: Let us ascend to the top of the tower and dwell there. And one said: Let us ascend to the top of the tower and engage in idol worship. And one said: Let us ascend to the top of the tower and wage war. With regard to that faction that said: Let us ascend to the top of the tower and dwell there, God dispersed them. And that faction that said: Let us ascend to the top of the tower and wage war, became apes, and spirits, and demons, and female demons. And with regard to that faction that said: Let us ascend to the top of the tower and engage in idol wor-ship, it is written: “Because there the Lord confounded the language of all the earth” (Genesis 11:9). (Talmud Sanhedrin 109a)

How beautiful was Sarah?
As he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, “I know what a beautiful woman you are. (Genesis 12:11)
Rabbinic Commentary
Rabbi Bena’a says: I gazed at his, Adam’s, two heels, and they shone so brightly that they are similar to two suns. Along these lines, the Gemara states that all people compared to Sarah are like a monkey compared to a human,as Sarah was exceedingly beautiful; Sarah compared to Eve is like a monkey compared to a human; Eve compared to Adam is like a monkey compared to a human; and Adam compared to the Divine Presence is like a monkey compared to a human. (TALMUD Bava Batra Daf 58a)--------------------------
Did yahweh create everyone in his image or just adam?
So God created man in his own image (Genesis 1:27)
(Note only Adam was created in the image of God not every single human so why not worship Adam as he has an exclusive resemblance to Yahweh?.)
And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth: (Genesis 5:3)
Did you catch the joke here Seth his son had his own likeness and was created in the image of Adam?. None of the other sons or daughters had any resemblance to Adam which means Yahweh gave special privilege whilst creating Adam why giving his own image his likeness his RESEMBLANCE!.
Next time Christians say God created man his own image tell him Adam had exclusive resemblance to God so why don't you worship him!.
-------------------
Yahweh has the image of animals (dog, cat, pig etc)
From all the clean animals you shall take seven each, man and wife And from all unclean animals you shall take two, man and wife (Genesis 7:2)
מכל הבהמה הטהורה תקח לך שבעה שבעה איש ואשתו ומן הבהמה אשר לא טהרה הוא שנים איש אשתו
If you read the verse carefully you’ll notice something unusual. Yahweh seems to refer the animals as “man and wife”. The Hebrew in the Masoretic text is very clear, (איש ואשתו man and wife). Why did Yahweh use such a term for animals? The Bible is clear between the creation of man and animals.
So what's with the confusion you may ask?
This creates another problem, Genesis 1:26 it says, “Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image,”.If man is supposed to be in God’s image and the same God refers to animals as “man” does this means animals were also made in Yahweh’s image? Maybe those Christians who claim the Holy Ghost is guiding them could explain this problem.
------------King Ahaz was 11 years old when he became a father
Twenty years old was Ahaz when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and did not that which was right in the sight of the Lord his God, like David his father. (2 Kings 16:2)
20 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead. (2 Kings 16:20)
Note after Ahaz his son Hezekiah succeeded him
1Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.
2 Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Abi, the daughter of Zachariah. (2 Kings 18:1-2)
Ahaz was thirty-six years old when he died. His twenty-five-year-old son Hezekiah succeeded him. Thus, Ahaz was a ten or eleven-year-old father.
The question is, how old was his wife if he was 11?
