The Bible Is Full of Mistakes

“Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment” (John 7:24).

Some people fail to acknowledge the above written fact about the Bible. Some people deny that there are any mistakes in it at all. Others simply choose to ignore this obvious fact. Make no mistake; our Bible is filled with them. From Genesis to Revelation, there's hardly a book that is without an abundance of mistakes. Here is a brief list of five mistakes in the first half of the book of Genesis alone.

Genesis 3:6-13: Adam and Eve made the mistake of disobeying God.

Genesis 4:1-15: Cain made the mistake of offering an unworthy sacrifice and then made the mistake of killing his brother in jealousy.

Genesis 6:1-8: The world made the mistake that God didn't care.

Genesis 18:9-15: Sarah made the mistake of laughing at what God said was possible.

Genesis 18:16ff: Sodom and Gomorrah made the mistake of abandoning all that is right and pure.

There are still 65½ books left in the Bible with more mistakes than we could possibly list. Perhaps, now that this has been cleared up, the next time someone says to you, “The Bible is full of mistakes,” you can then reply, “I know it is!” Just be sure and tell them how you mean that!

Review of Spong's a New Christianity for a New World (7)

In order to set up his "new Christianity," Bishop John Shelby Spong must first try to demolish the Christianity of the New Testament, which has stood for 2,000 years. One might think that someone trying to take on this task would need a gigantic ego, and one

"Correcting Scripture or Correcting Us?"
