101 CONTRADICTIONS IN THE BIBLE

Mithras and Osiris - Pagan Origins of Christianity

This video is for those Christians who dare to deny any similarities between Christianity and pagan religions that predate Christianity. Taken from the documentary "The Hidden Story of Jesus" by Robert Beckford.

Yacob was copied from Yacobaam a Hyksos king.

Warrior King David was copied from the war annals of Thothmose 3.

The Story of Sinuhe (David and Goliath)

Solomon was copied from Amenhotep 3

Moses copied from Akhenaton.

Joseph copied from Yuya

Some parts of Christianity is copied from Aten worship.

The Ten commandments from Ma'at.

The Science of the Ten Plagues

In 1400 B.C., a group of nervous Egyptians saw the Nile turn red. But what they thought was blood was actually an algae bloom which killed the fish, which prior to that had been living off the eggs of frogs. Those uneaten eggs turned into record numbers of baby frogs who subsequently fled to the land and died. Their little rotting frog bodies attracted lice and flies. The lice carried the bluetongue virus, which killed 70% of Egypt’s livestock. The flies carried glanders, a bacterial infection which in humans causes boils. Soon afterwards, the Nile River Valley was hit with a three-day sandstorm otherwise known as the plague of darkness. During the sandstorm, intense heat can combine with an approaching cold front to create not only hail, but also electrical storms which would have looked to the ancient Egyptians like fire from the sky. The subsequent wind would have blown the Ethiopian locust population off course and right into downtown Cairo. Hail is wet, locusts leave droppings, spread both on your grain, and you have got mycrotoxins. Dinnertime in ancient Egypt meant the first-born child got the biggest portion which in this case meant he ate the most toxins, so he died. Ten plagues. Ten scientific explanations.

There is still no historical, archeological, or other scientific evidence for the plagues, but at least there is a plausible scientific explanation for supernatural events.

Proof of God would undermine free will

From Iron Chariots Wiki

One apologetic argument for the lack of clear evidence for God is that such proof would undermine humans' free will: such evidence would leave us no choice but to believe in God, and his glory and magnificence is such that we would have no choice but to worship him. Thus, God chooses to remain hidden in order that we should come to believe in and worship him freely.

Counter-apologetics

This is not a deductive argument, of the form "this is what we know about God, therefore we should expect to see such-and-such effects." Rather, it is an ad hoc excuse for the lack of solid evidence for the existence of God. A person making this argument presupposes that God exists but concedes that there is no good evidence for his existence; this argument is one way to reconcile the two.

This argument is not specific to the Christian God; it applies to any deity who values faith over reason.

Differences among theists

This argument is also at odds with the behavior of many theists, who seek out evidence for God. If an omnipotent, omniscient god truly wanted to remain hidden, then there should be no miracles, no relics (such as the Shroud of Turin), no miraculous apparitions; intercessory prayer should not work. Yet such evidence is sought by many.

Counterarguments within Christianity

In the Bible, many people were given sufficient evidence for God's existence, including Abraham, Moses (who spoke personally with God), Jesus' apostles and followers, who witnessed miracles first-hand. Therefore either:

1.The argument that God cannot reveal himself without removing free will is flawed.

2.God took away some people's free will, but not others'.

3.The Bible is in error.

 

 

According to Christian tradition, Satan was originally an angel who rebelled against God. It is reasonable to assume that Satan knew that God exists, since they were coworkers. And yet Satan rebelled, and chose not to worship God. Thus, knowledge of God's existence does not compel worship.

 

Similarly, Judas Iscariot had ample evidence of Jesus' divinity, and still betrayed him.
