Why is the Bible so Wrong on so Many Things?

flypaper4weirdos from YouTube asks, “Why is the bible wrong on so many things?”

Obviously flypaper4weirdos is mistaking the Holy Bible with say the writings of Buda, the
Koran, the Book of Mormon, and the Jehovah Witness New World Translation (NWT)
because the Holy Bible is in no way wrong about anything. In fact, the Holy
Bible is confirmed by science, archeology, astronomy, biology, and in every
other form of real science and includes eyewitnesses to many of the events
actually being discussed in it.

Yet however, the writings of Buda, the Koran, the Book of Mormon, and the Jehovah Witness
New World Translation (NWT) fail any confirmations by science, archeology,
astronomy, biology, and they also fail any other form of real science including
not having any eyewitnesses to the events being discussed in them.

So flypaper4weirdos question about the Holy Bible, “Why is the bible wrong on so
many things?” is moot and meaningless. The Holy Bible is not wrong on anything.

Thank you flypaper4weirdos for your question. I suggest that you actually seek the
truth and not have apathy towards it today as you may not be alive tomorrow.
God bless you.

The Bible Really does Endorse Slavery! Definition of Slavery “The word 'slavery' is such a powerful word today in our society because of the slavery reminded to us by those in rather recent United States history who had family members enslaved as a type of forced labor against their will. Scholars in the ANE have often abandoned the use of the general term 'slavery' in descriptions of the many diverse forms of master-servant that are manifest in the ancient world. There are very few 'true' slave societies in the world (with Rome and Greek being two of the major ones!), and ancient Israel will be seen to be outside this classification as well (in legislation, not practice). "Scholars do not agree on a definition of "slavery." The term has been used at various times for a wide range of institutions, including plantation slavery, forced labor, the drudgery of factories and sweatshops, child labor, semi-voluntary prostitution, bride-price marriage, child adoption for payment, and paid-for surrogate motherhood. Somewhere within this range, the literal meaning of "slavery" shifts into metaphorical meaning, but it is not entirely clear at what point. A similar problem arises when we look at other cultures. The reason is that the term "Slavery" is evocative rather than analytical, calling to mind a loose bundle of diagnostic features. These features are mainly derived from the most recent direct Western experience with slavery that of the southern United States, the Caribbean, and Latin America. The present Western image of slavery has been haphazardly constructed out of the representations of that experience in nineteenth-century abolitionist literature, and later novels, textbooks, and films... From a global cross-cultural and historical perspective, however, New World slavery was a unique conjunction of features... In brief, most varieties of slavery did not exhibit the three elements that were dominant in the New World: slaves as property and commodities; their use exclusively as labor; and their lack of freedom... "Encyclopedia of Cultural Anthropology (4 vols), David Levinson and Melvin Ember (eds), HenryHolt:1996: 4:1190f Slavery in the Old Testament Slavery was a deeply rooted part of the economy and social structure of the ancient Near E and of the Graeco-Roman world. There were many ways a person could become a slave. The specific case of slavery is more complex than first appears...there is no monolithic 'institution' of slavery in the bible--e.g. the Old Testament has SEVERAL models of what might be called 'slavery' and much of what passed as slavery in the Ancient Near East (ANE) is no longer considered such in socio-economic understandings of the period and area. The Old Testament tells about slavery from military conquest (Numbers 31:7-35; Deuteronomy 20:10-18; 2 Chronicles 28:8-15); how people could be bought and sold as slaves (Exodus...

Atheist's Morality Nightmare Atheist Tim lays down on a couch to take a nap only to find himself in a abysmal moral quandary. Angela suddenly standing beside Atheist Tim asks him, “Tim, have you ever told a lie?” A very startled Atheist Tim asks, “What?” Angela: “Be not afraid Tim. I am here to lead you to truth. Have you ever told a lie?” Atheist Tim: “What concern is that of yours? And, who are you, anyway?” Angela: “My name is Angela and my purpose here with you today is to insure that you Tim are fully aware of God’s moral standards by which you are to be judged at your physical death and that you understand the consequences of your breaking them. I am an Angel of our Lord and God sent me to you because you showed interest in truth. Be honored as this is evidence you requested.” Atheist Tim: “Yea, right and I’m Santa’s little helper elf tracking Santa’s list for him and if you don’t stop bothering me I’ll put you on his naughty list. How did you get in here anyway? I can see that the door is locked and bolted.” Angela: “Tim, have you ever told a lie?” Atheist Tim: “NO, I have never told a lie in my life. Now get out and leave me alone or I’ll put you on Santa’s naughty list.” Angela: “Tim, be truthful; have you ever told a lie?” Atheist Tim: “YES, I have told at least one lie in my life. So what? Everyone lies. Big deal.” Angela: “Tim, the Ninth of the Ten Commandments is ‘You shall not lie.’ Telling just one lie, according to God's standards, makes you a "liar." In Revelation 21:8, God says, "...all liars, shall have their part in the lake of fire..." Atheist Tim: “Okay, you are now on Santa’s naughty list. Now get out of here before I call the cops!” Angela: “Tim, have you ever stolen anything (no matter how small or worthless)? Atheist Tim: “The cops won’t take me to jail for what little I’ve stolen and that was a long time ago so leave now or I will call the cops and have you taken away!” Angela: Tim, the Eighth of the Ten Commandments is "You shall not steal." Stealing just one thing (regardless of its size or monetary value), according to God's standards, makes you a ‘thief.’ In 1st Corinthians 6:10, God says, ‘No thieves... ...shall inherit the kingdom of God.’” Atheist Tim: “You keep talking like God is real and you have not left yet so I’m going to help you out!” as he gets up and moves towards Angela. Angela: “I am not going to leave until...
