The Bible is what it is. The Bible is widely open to interpretation and contains inconsistencies, discrepancies and outright contradictions. Though most refuse to admit it, they pick and choose the verses and passages that support their beliefs and dismiss those that don't and often do so in a most disingenuous manner. Somehow many are able to do just th ...[text shortened]... d delude themselves into believing that the entirety of the Bible is the "inerrant word of God".
God - "Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."
ThinkOfOne - "You lie. I shall not surely die. For you doth know that in the day I eat thereof, then my eyes shall be opened, and I shall be as the gods, knowing good and evil."
And the God said unto ThinkOfOne, "Because you have lied about what I have spoken, you are cursed with it, not being able to know the truth, but to project the confusion of your own mind, which contains inconsistencies, discrepancies and outright contradictions, which you will refuse to admit. Now upon thy belly shalt thou go, and the dust of this forum shalt thou eat all the days of thy life."
