American Standard Bible and the New World Translation of the
Holy Scriptures have expunged certain verses compared with
the King James Version. Reader’s Digest has reduced the Old
Testament by
fifty percent
and the New Testament condensed
by about
twenty-five percent
. Some years ago Christian
theologians wanted to “desex” the Bible.
Some Christian
Theologians claim: “It is human as well as divine.” This is a
clear contradiction as it cannot be both! From the above facts it
is clear that the Bible is “Human” and not “Divine”.
Does
“holy” to you mean that the Bible is free from error?
C.
Yes
.
But what kind of error do you mean?
M
Examples: The Bible states in Genesis that vegetation was
created first and then the sun was created. This is clearly
unscientific! Vegetation cannot grow without sunlight. Another
example:
Suppose one verse states that a certain person died at the age
of
fifty years and another verse states that the
same person
had
died at the age of sixty years, can both statements be right?
C
. Definitely not! Both statements can never be right. Only one
can be right or both are wrong.
M
. Right! If a holy book contains conflicting verses, do you still
consider it holy?
C
. Of course not, because a Holy Scripture is a revelation from
God and it is impossible for it to contain mistakes, contradictions
or conflicting verses. God is perfect!
M
. Then it’s not holy again.
C
. Right! Its holiness disappears.
