There is no contradictions or errors in the Bible. Extremely ignorant people that have massive reading difficulties who don’t have a clue about context imagine there are errors and contradictions in the Bible.
All of these childish imaginary contradictions are very easily destroyed when the context is supplied.
Muslim will ask “where does Jesus say ‘I’m God and worship me’ in The Holy Bible”
This is the most common pathetic argument a Muslim will argue. For starters, no where in The Holy Bible can you find such statement in those literal words, but just as Christians know this, also, so does the Muslim. By this argument they try to disprove The Holy Bible teaches Jesus is not God, but by using this criteria (only an idiot would use) they debunk themselves.
Responses: 1 If you were to read a thriller about a murderer and the context of the book shows the character murdered many people without giving the literal wording, “I’m a murderer” you would never assert he’s not a murderer, simply because his actions prove he is a murderer. The outcome of the book would imply he is a murderer and likewise, after reading The Holy Bible, The outcome is, Jesus is God, fully aware Jesus never said “I am God or worship me” in those literal words. By using this criterion we can acknowledge the pathetic argument
falls on itself by basic reasoning and logic.
Responses: 2 I’ve basically used this “come back” every time in debating forums, including in person, and the Muslim will run away from further discussion. I ask:
Do you believe Jesus is the messiah (see Quran 4:157)? They will say yes.
Do you believe Jesus is the word of Allah (see Quran 4:171)? They will say yes
Do you believe Jesus is the spirit of Allah (see Quran 4:171)? They will say yes
Now your next question is “where does Jesus say ‘I am the messiah’ or ‘I am the word of Allah’ or ‘I am the spirit of Allah'”. No where in the Quran does Jesus utter such words, so by using their criteria they just debunked themselves”.
God did not merely “rest” on the seventh day; He “stopped creating.” It was a purposeful stop. Everything He desired to create had been made. He looked at His creation, declared it “very good” (Genesis 1:31), and ceased from His activity.
The Hebrew word translated “rested” in Genesis 2:2 means “to cease or stop.” In Genesis 2:2 the understanding is that God “stopped” His work; He “ceased” creating on the seventh day. All that He had created was good, and His work was finished.
With your logic when a lawyer says the defence rests it must mean the defence is tired. Do a bit of research into what a word means before posting so you do not embarrass yourself in future.
